http://statenews.com The State News has a great tradition of reporting on news that directly affects the student population. In that spirit, I want to bring attention to the local problem of global climate change. With ice caps melting and glaciers receding, hurricanes threatening our southern cities and historic wildfires ravaging the West Coast, climate change poses great challenges to our security and the very stability of our nation. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:37:55 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/45013 Greenpeace has some good ideas, however, they are way too expensive. I know, we can raise tuition to pay for them.

Hollywood and Eurotrash idiots make a movie about the effects of flying, but FLY to the New York premier (yes). They’re quoted as saying, “Some people need to fly.” (Gillian Anderson) and, in typical fashion, blame emerging nations and non-celebrities for the problem. Environmental activists want to live like “The Jetsons”, while the rest of us live like “The Flintstones”.

Half of his problems related to climate change are so full of crap it’s ridiculous.

Americans put it at the bottom when scoring issues that we care about. You may want to start looking for another bandwagon since the full and final dismantling this week of the “Hockey Stick” effect. Seems the purveyor (Dr Briffa) had been claiming that the dog ate his data, but he was recently forced to provide it. Surprise! He had carefully chosen tree ring data points to get his graph to go up in the last century. When all of the data points were used the graph turned downward. Lots of back and forth on this at icecap.us. Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:37:55 -0400 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/45272
