The following quoted with permission from the internet Journal of a 15 year old girl.
In my eyes, an example of the ‘conveyor belt force feeding’ of a pliant student body by NEA Left Wing teachers.
My question to her: “If I can show you that all your assertions are false, would you accept it?”
Her reply: “But it is the truth! I know it!” Everybody knows it!”
Of course the discussion broke down along lines of: “There is no objective truth, no right or wrong; just opinion.”
But when I pointed out her absolutes, all of a sudden…there was truth, her truth…
I present this little example, not to change any minds of the ‘regular suspects’ who continually mouth the Liberal Mantra; but for those perhaps younger whose infection may be only slight and not terminal in terms of thinking.
“Things have been rather boring and mundane lately, save for Friday, when I gave my Biology presentation on Global Climate Change. It went VERY well, especially with McLaughlin, whom I sure enjoyed the "Anti-Bush" slant. It's quite striking, however, to go home and speak to someone (namely, Kyle. Hi, buddy!) who refuses to believe in a potentially life-threatening event that isn't going to happen in the future, because it's occurring right now. The evidence, off the top of my head, includes:
--Entire Taiga forests dying due to 30% warmer summers
--Glaciers on retreat on six continents
--Permafrost melting and turning swamp-like
--Sharp migration changes in plant/animal species
--Shifts in the timings of each season
--Heat strokes killing 1,200 in Greece in 1987, 700 in Chicago in 1995
--3-5% of the Arctic's ice cap melting
--The break-up of the world's largest ice shelf
--Tropical mosquitoes (carrying yellow fever and malaria) taking residence in parts of the U.S. and South America
--Rising sea levels
--70% of the ocean's zoo plankton gone, krill also on retreat
--A yearly temperature increase of almost a full degree Fahrenheit
--Increased UV radiation effects: cataracts, skin cancer, heat strokes in the young and elderly
--Increased respiratory disorders as our lungs become choked under polluted air. Asthma cases have been on the rise each year, becoming a little worse each time.
Again, off the top of my head, some of these "doom's day" consequences include:
--Europe's climate turning as cold and as dry as Siberia, with an average temperature of 6 degrees F.
--Bangladesh uninhabitable, due to rising sea levels
--Waves of boat-people migrating to places like the U.S., as they cannot inhabit their lands anymore. (This creates a domino effect, you see. The United States would, effectively, shut down their borders and struggle to retain diminishing energy, fresh water, and food supplies. As tensions between the globe's super powers, such as the U.S., China, Japan, and Russia are strained to the breaking point, nuclear war becomes more plausible each day. Raiding would be common place (it's human nature) and millions would die from war, disease, and famine, until our numbers were reduced to something the planet can sustain. And all because we're releasing a little bit of CO2 in the atmosphere with little care to the short-term consequences)
--Animals like walruses and polar bears becoming completely extinct by 2050
--Mega-droughts in the world's major breadbaskets, including America's Midwest
--Fresh water becoming less available
--The growing-climate moving as far north as Canada, where the soil is unsuitable and therefore, useless.”

Now I am sure all of you rabid anti-American, anti free market, Left Wing Liberal doom and gloom and henny penny’s will wet yourselves in glee. But perhaps a few will understand the true monstrosities posing as educators are truly a menace.
