A few weeks ago a girl (of apparent high school age, maybe 15 or 16) came to the door with her clipboard. I was polite and let her finish her intro, then asked what she was here for....she said she was sure I was "...concerned about climate change". "Not really" I replied. I said I didn't buy into it. She started with "studies prove..." but I politely interrupted her and asked her if she could answer a question: North America was once covered in ice 100s of feet thick, how did it melt while humans were doing nothing but exhaling and had nothing but campfires?

Stunned silence. she smiled, said thank you and left.

Too bad you didn’t have this little bit of homework to hand to her:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
