how would you feel if a global warmist taught your kids science

[Old Rocks]

Whoops, global warmists are in charge. The alleged science of global warming is being unraveled as we speak as a political scam but the teachers are forced to teach the questionable science or face diciplinary action from the feds and the teachers union.. Are our kids being taught to substitute political opinion and ideology for absolute evidence? Are kids forced to accept political dogma and NOT question authority? What a difference a generation makes. No wonder we are producing a bunch of robots who just manage to pass government science standards.

ALL Science is "questionable" to the right wing.

There was a time when the earth was flat and a demon lived at the speed of sound. It was science. Today's kids are taught at an early level not to question liberal dogma and college kids are kicked out of school when they question global warming.

Yap yap without the least attempt at evidence. You are a willfull liar.

The local school thinks it needs to teach about condoms so I guess they might as well teach about global warming... Whatever the feel good, politically correct popular thing of the moment is will most likely be taught by the liberal school teachers.

Why hell, don't teach them a thing about sex or prevention of pregnancy. There are plenty of people out there that are willing to teach them. And you can take care of the results, because they won't be around. Why do you think that Evangelicals have the highest rate of teen pregnancy?

I confess that I posted the topic in response to the similar topic regarding a "creationist" teaching kids. The topics are similar. Global warming is a faith based religion. You have to believe in spite of what your senses tell you and regardless of historic and pre-historic evidence.

Creationism has been disproven in it's every incantation. The hypothesis of Anthropogenic Global Warming has huge amounts of scientific evidence backing it up.

The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect

Global warming is a fact. It has warmed in the last 150 years. Period. Warmed especially in the Arctic and Antarctic, where we see major changes taking place. We see feedbacks in the form of CH4 being released from the seafloor at both poles now. And the outgassing of the permafrost in the last few decades has been confirmed in detail by scientists from many nations.

That would be better than having a MORON teach the class.

The trouble is that so many people don't comprehend the difference between BELIEVING and UNDERSTANDING. Believers assume that people who disagree with them are also BELIEVERS. Science is not about BELIEF.

Sciece is more often about PROBABILITY because there is usually a factor of uncertainty even if only because the data is almost always incomplete. The universe does not hand us information on a silver platter, it is more like pulling teeth. But that does not mean data can be ignored because we don't like it.

Science is not about belief and global warming is a theory. Belief in global warming is far more dangerous than creationism. Creationism merely gives an alternate viewpoint of the origin of the world. Global warming has morphed into a scheme designed to extort money from the once most powerful Nation in the world.. People who don't buy into the GW theory are called "deniers" just as people who didn't believe in creationism were once called "heretics". People are asked to believe that the US is the cause of the theory of global warming even when they are shivering in record cold weather and kids are taught that the US is the cause of worldwide misery related to a theory that has yet to be proved. People are asked to believe and fear man made G.W. even though ice core samples (hard evidence) indicates that periods of ice ages occur with shocking geological frequency and are devistating to humanity.

Every time you post you demonstrate you enormous ignorance of science.

How is the meaning of theory in science different from the everyday use of the term? - Yahoo! Answers

But that is wrong - a scientific theory is the highest form of a scientific work, with a long list of conditions reached, not turn a simple hypothesis about the observations into this theory. A theory for example, has to be fallible. That means: It must be contain a prediction, which would invalidate the theory, if the prediction does not come true. The theory of evolution for example predicted the existence of a way to give the attributes of the parents to the children. Almost a century after the theory of evolution, the DNA was found.

Of course, science can be wrong. That's why a theory has to be able to be wrong. A theory, which is under all imaginable conditions true, is not scientific. But that is no problem for science. When a theory is found to be wrong, there has to be a better one. Science is a dynamic process. The theory of gravitation for example is still not done. We know that there are many phenomena, this theory does not describe. For example Black holes are still not adequately described by it. So, there is now the search for a better theory.

But that does not mean, that a scientific theory, which was found wrong, is also bad. The theory of gravity by Galileo is already found wrong for centuries, but still, you can do a lot of good work, by assuming a constant gravity acceleration. It is not accurate, but often accurate enough (for example for rocket guidance, this model of gravity gets often used for simplifying math). Each new theory becomes more accurate.

Were you around when the globe started warming up 150 years ago (before the industrial revolution) old rocks? Maybe you recall the last (mini) ice age? The dirty little secret is that "scientists" who are funded by global warming grants will find global warming rather than be out in the cold world looking for a real job.
