As I try to get younger generations interested in the future of the planet and the effects of global warming I discovered a really interesting site. Andrew Weaver and his team are leaving in November 2009 on an Antarctic expedition. One of his main goals is to get school children interested in the effects of climate change. As the team prepare to leave you can track their progress and their experiments once they arrive here:

all I want to know is when all this global warmings is going to occur. I woke up this morning and it was 32* and I live in the South
Screw the grandchildren, I'm cold now. (I need to go empty a can of hairspray into the air and kill off some of that pesky ozone that keeps all the heat out)
Global warming is a made up condition to fill the place of religion for the non-religious.
If you substituted the name Jim Jones for Al Gore, you'd have a cult
You preach doom and gloom
you donate your money to the cause
you follow the preachings of that say "do this, do that" but your cult leader Owl Gore lives in a mansion while you toil in the fields.
I personally blame farting cows as oppposed to me driving my 10 mpg SUV to work

There is a theory that the magnetic north and south poles are gradually shifting. This would explain why some parts of the globe are warming while others are cooling. It would also explain why Africa was a tropical rainforest 60,000 years ago and Europe was in an ice age.
I think that if schools teach one theory then they should teach opposing theories and let the kids decide.
