Scientists insist that teaching the controversyand not the consensusis a dereliction of duty and a propagation of falsehood.
Translation: this is secular dogma. Honest scientific inquiry is not permitted. Heresy against dogma MUST be punished.
Shows who the actual free thinkers are in today's society.
When did Global Warming stop being a theory?
So stop teaching the consensus, consensus is NOT valid scientific method!
I loved the part where the author bemoans the ‘intensifying global warming,’ what intensifying...I froze my butt off this past winter and this summer doesn’t even put some legs on the tomatoes!
Proof that our entire school system is nothing more today than public indoctrination centers.
History will look back at how America fell and the key will be the public indoctrination centers.
Politics today are the result of political correctness and the hate of the white working male that was taught in all levels of these indoctrination centers...from public school through college.
In 1965 they were teaching us that we’d be in an ice age by 1975. They said we’d be out of oil by 1970. When we got to 1970 the moved it to 1980. It has since been indexing forward under names like “peak oil.” I was scared to death as a kid. Now I realize a lot of what I learned was propaganda. It’s still propaganda but it’s now anti-western, anti-American and anti-white.
We basically need to get government out of education.
Really? This is a statement of faith, rather than science, especially given what we know about the falsification of climate data.
If it was simply a recognition that "climate" is always changing, one way or another, that would be unquestionably accurate, but the context doesn't indicate this.

Whenever you run into a AGW kook, ask him to explain the MWP (medieval warm period) followed by the LIA (Little Ice Age).
Most likely they had never heard of either one.
By the way, it was during the MWP that America was discovered, and Europe flourished.
“Scientists insist that teaching the controversyand not the consensusis a dereliction of duty and a propagation of falsehood.”
In other words “you disagreed, shut up and drink your hemlock”.
This has been debunked so many times that every time I read it I want to scream, but they still keep throwing it out.
Sigh...
97% of climate scientists, eh? You mean the guys who are dependent on grants for their livelihood? Do THEY back their position with EVIDENCE like the students are challenged to do? And how firm is that 97% number?

“Politics today are the result of political correctness and the hate of the white working male that was taught in all levels of these indoctrination centers...from public school through college.”
My white male children have a healthy distrust of public education. I’ve made it clear to them that global warming, and the larger environmental movement, are simply pagan replacements of the Christianity many Americans abandoned. Once Americans steered away from breeding, many had to find a cause to fill their time. It is no accident that many of the older people in the movement still dress and appear as they did when they were protesting against the Vietnam War...
Whatever mush they are trying to fill these kids’ heads with isn;t working very well; I still hear kids tell the same racist jokes from my childhood (and many new ones), and I have yet to meet a kid who gave a hoot about the environment. For my part I proudly point out all of the things invented and/or made by white men around them (to prevent them from suffering the self-perception issues associated with ghetto people).
A good teacher points her students to many facts and allows them to draw their conclusions. My class, with many misgivings on my part, had a presentation they prepared on AGW. I needn’t have worried. Half of the class presented Algore and the other half refuted it. Truth always will win.
The consensus opinion is always correct.
As a teacher, I am forced to correct you - it is not just "was" it is "is".
You can't tell them that explicitly, since the data connecting human activity and global climate change just isn't there. In fact, the data supporting the hypothesis that carbon dioxide is a driver (not a responder) of global temperature just isn't there.
The hypothesis is based in the fact that carbon dioxide has a wide fluorescent band in the infrared frequencies. Most substances have fairly narrow fluorescence bands in comparison. (You might see fluorescence referred to as "absorbance." Absorbance is only half of the picture--all substances that absorb photons of light also emit them; absorbance + emission = fluorescence.) When a photon is absorbed, it is almost immediately emitted at a lower energy, and the extra energy becomes kinetic energy of the molecule. While that kinetic energy is equivalent to heat, there is a limit on how much of this process can go on. Eventually, the energy of the photons is too low, making the wavelength too long for the CO2 to absorb it--so no further absorption occurs, and no feedback loops exist. As this blog post points out, the limiting factor on how much energy can enter the atmosphere in this way is the amount of IR radiation entering the atmosphere, not the quantity of CO2. And the quantity of IR radiation is nothing that anyone can control.
“As a teacher, I am forced to correct you - it is not just “was” it is “is”.”
As a FReeper I am forced to direct you to the original poster; I was including their quote before my response.
FRegards!
What an irony it would be if world governments spent gazillions to fix something that doesn’t exist and by doing so devastated these ‘educator’s’ budgets. Imagine the howls and screams.
Sigh...
Yep, and FReepers would be well-served to be able to recite the process that this 97% was derived.
A poll was conducted of 11,000 people, asking on video ‘Who's you're favorite football team?’
Then their answers were reviewed, but the only responses considered were the 79 people who wore Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys. Turns out, 77 of those 79 claim the Steelers are the best!
(The other two were people who admitted they didn't have any other clean clothes that day)
And that's how you get a 97% consensus.
Oh, the horrors!!
I've been saying for years that this period of time in our history will be looked at as the Dark Ages Part Deux.
