Our school study of global warming started with lots of
questions. What is global warming? What is happening now?
What might happen in the future? What can each of us do to
help? Why should we care? What will the future look like?
A small group of students at our school has been researching
and studying the effects of global warming. The evidence and
data we collected is so overwhelming that we have decided to
write about this issue.
We want everyone to help curb Global warming. It truly means
that the Earth is getting warmer. The ocean is warming at such
an alarming rate that the continents are in danger.
Such a warming of the ocean is fuel for more severe hurricanes
such as Katrina. Katrina was only a Category 1 storm when it
crossed Florida. It became a monster storm by feeding off the
extremely warm water in the Gulf of Mexico.

The response from the RW was absolutely ferocious (from the reader's comments)...

Another liberal trash teacher that should be fired for brainwashing, compelling them to be spoon fed one side of the debate with doomsdayism for the paradigm that will control them politically later in life, rather than study both side of the debate and reach their own conclusions. would you care to explain global warming on mars? The liberal left is all about indoctrinating our youth from a very young age, the only way they can retain numbers as they kill off their own through their own policies.
The school system has no place for trash like you, and your school should be embarassed by your employment there. I hope the school makes the right decision and terminates their association with you.

Spoon fed eco brain washing is just what we need for our kids in public schools today!
I wish teachers would quit indoctrinating students with this enviro hogwash!
What sad and manipulative public school exercise in a sadly politically correct state.

Sad, shocking and humorous commentary from the great scientific minds of the GOP...
