Students take action on global warming

The WWF Allianz Southeast Climate Witness Program selected 24 high school students to engage in vulnerability research on the Southeast Rivers and Streams Ecoregion.

These students earned the opportunity to work with scientists on their research and learn about climate change from some of the most active scientists in the field today. In Washington, D.C., the students had the experience to speak in a briefing on Capitol Hill in which Chairman Markey of the Select Committee on Energy Indepence and Global Warming greeted them as the Green Generation and encouraged them to continue to take action on climate change.

Like I said - "Think for yourself, it's called "Critical Thinking". Einstein did it, he went against the usual school standards and he's considered a genius. Don't be blocked into thinking one way only.

First thing students NEED to do is look at both sides of this issue & find out exactly what the facts are & DO NOT just accept what your teacher tells you to look at or listen to. Most teachers only knowledge on ANY subject only comes from the state sanctioned curriculum books & often will only tell you what they politically want to push. ALWAYS find out for yourself. Think for yourself, it's called "Critical Thinking" & educational facilities do not teach that, especially universities.
