Global Warming?

by @ Thursday, April 2nd, 2009. Filed under rants, science

I nearly threw up in my mouth today as I was catching up on the enviro-clips at work today.

From the Statesman

The State Board of Education on Friday adopted standards on the teaching of global warming that appear to both question its existence and prod students to explore its implications.

Language that instructed students to “analyze and evaluate different views on the existence of global warming,” which had been offered as an amendment and was adopted unanimously in an initial vote Thursday, led to outrage among environmental groups.

I laughed when Tina Fey gave her Palin impersonation…  “It’s just god huggin’ us closer.”

Then I was informed that we weren’t allowed to speak of Global Warming at the office.  Umm, I am a scientist.  WTF? Apparently in the land of Bible Beaters and Gov. Goodhair, the only GW out there is the one that just left office.
