3. A short personal commentary what you learned from it or what made you curious about it given the week's class content. However, it doesn't have to be about the week's content, only something related to human-environmental interactions.
4. Then put a long line ('-------------------)'.
5. Then cut/paste A SMALL PART of the article or topic you found. (This is because blogger.com now has a limit of "4096 characters" in blog comments. However, that should be enough to concentrate on your own comments, and provide an excerpt and a link to the original article. If you do want more space, and I encourage it, post a second time to get another "4096 characters".)
6. Then a small line '---'.
7. Then, finally, paste the URL (link) of the post.
Post for the first week on this thread. I'll set up a new main post each week, and then we will do the same.

ReplyDelete2. Global Warming Snow Job
3. I Know some people insist that 'global warming theory' is just a myth. But when I saw a film 'An inconvenient truth', I was really shocked. Even some statistical data were not accurate, I think the fact that environment around us is being destroyed by human is true. Of course accuracy should be needed in researches but is there any benefit of criticizing for criticism like this article? Yes, it would be very welcomed by growthists
--------------------------
The global warming fraud is without equal in modern science.
The fundamental problems exposed about climate-change theory undermine the very basis of scientific inquiry. Huge numbers of researchers refuse to provide their data to other scientists. Some referenced data is found not to have existed. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007 report that global warming activists continually cite invented a large number of purported facts.
Getting facts wrong and citing dubious sources isn’t the worst of it. Rajendra K. Pachauri, the U.N.’s climate chief, remained silent when he knew information was false. He only grudgingly came partly clean when Pallava Bagla, a writer for the journal Science, pointed to e-mail correspondence from last autumn showing Mr. Pachauri already knew of the fraud.
Man-made global warming theory isn’t backed up by science; it’s a hoax. The fact that the world has been asked to spend tens of trillions of dollars on global warming solutions without being able to evaluate the data upon which the claims were made should have been the first warning that something was seriously wrong. The public and world leaders have been sold expensive snake oil by charlatans like Mr. Pachauri.

ReplyDelete2.California Approves New Environmental Curriculum for K-12 Students
3.According to this article, The K-12 environmental curriculum for public schools was authorized by legislation in California. The K-12 students of California will be provided with systematic environmental education.
In Korea, Even though the environmental education has been improved since 1990s, there were no national standards for environmental education. We must teach children so that they can understand the relationship between environment and human being, and they should have a desirable environmental viewpoint. Accordingly, it seems necessary that environmental education should be included in national kindergarten curriculum.

California Approves New Environmental Curriculum for K-12 Students
Saturday February 20, 2010
Beginning this spring, schoolchildren in California will be learning more about the environment than ever before, thanks to a new state-approved environmental curriculum for students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The state Board of Education signed off on 76 sections of a proposed 85-part curriculum that integrates environmental education into science, history and social science classes and is designed to meet and fulfill state academic standards, according to a report on Mercury News.com. The board is expected to review the other nine sections later this year. Teachers should be able to access the curriculum online this spring at no charge. Meanwhile, state officials are trying to find money for printing costs and teacher training.
The new K-12 environmental curriculum includes lessons on food chains and ecosystems for younger students to the relationship between government, economics and the environment for high school seniors. Other lessons focus on a wide range of environmental issues such as food production, watersheds and how water gets to farms, storm drains and water treatment, and the role of California ports in food distribution.
The K-12 environmental curriculum for public schools was authorized by legislation that was signed into law in 2003, but developing the curriculum took several years and the work of multiple state agencies. While many schools already have some form of environmental education, it is usually considered supplemental because the lessons are not aligned with state academic standards.
