Schoolkids warn us about "global warming"

is it just me, or does anyone else feel deep down in their gut that if "global warming" was as serious or as fixable or as scientifically-based as the followers of the Goracle tell us, would we really need to have schoolchildren...4th Graders...give us the warning...and also propose "solutions"?????? that's just what these 4th Graders up in maine have done.

how do they come to accumulate such a vast "wealth" of scientific knowledge? as this comment on the article states more eloquently than i can:

These children are 9 years old. What could they possibly know about "strange weather"? Are they comparing it to way back when they were six? Or, are they simply being indoctrinated (and scared to death) by another incompetent teacher?

in canada, a writer asks this question:So how did An Inconvenient Truth become required classroom viewing? the piece begins:

First it was his world history class. Then he saw it in his economics class. And his world issues class. And his environment class. In total, 18-year-old McKenzie, a Northern Ontario high schooler, says he has had the film An Inconvenient Truth shown to him by four different teachers this year.

canada's pretty hopping...apparently, a consortium of global warming activists and green corporate CEOs have combined forces to provide a DVD of "an incovenient truth" to every single public school classroom. here in the U.S.A., the kids are "taking it upon themselves" (yeah, right) to educate us dumb adults about this "threat".

listen, i think it's great that the kids are "getting involved", but a little bit of balance might be nice...for instance, haven't we been hearing lately from scientists in the national hurricane center and NASA telling us that it might be silly to overreact to natural temperature fluctuations? hotshot meteorologist guru Bill Gray just recently characterized global warming as "a scam". maybe these kids should hear from someone like him from time to time.

or, maybe they should just concentrate on reading and writing and stuff like that, and less on propaganda. or else, we'll probably end up with more cases like "Jason".
