Generation E - Alec Loorz, 14, Acts on Global Warming

There are signs that a generation is rising that plans to make an energy quest -- from the light socket to the laboratory to the classroom and boardroom -- a top priority. At 12, Alec Loorz was already trying to excite fellow kids to get involved. Now he leads a climate group focused on students: http://www.Kids-vs-global-warming.com .

Vostok ice core samples from a 25-year old report indicate that over the past 400,000 years Carbon Dioxide levels rise for 21,000 years and then stop. Why?

Just as the tilt of the Earth's axis gives us summer and winter, the wobble of the axis causes a 26,000 year cycle of global climate change. Plato called it the 'Precession of the Equinoxes' and divided the 'great year' into 12 Ages.

December 21, 2012 is the first day of the Age of Aquarius.

Poor kid...yes well meaning, unfortunately at a young age (which is important to the social engineers and now he's doing his part with the kids), bought into the convenient lie that is global warming/climate change. I'm sure he has a fantastic future in government or working for a big foundation making a lot of money the next al gore or george monbiot...how did we end up fending off the global cooling that was being pushed in the 70's?

global warming isn't real

"a match inside them waiting to be lit" - that will release more carbon won't it?

Silly git!

Listen to this load of utter rubbish -- the fool is just a parrot.

Poor kid. Doesn't even realize that he's been brainwashed.

I seriously feel bad for people that live their lives under this anvil of global warming. Living an efficient life where you minimize the resources and energy that you use is just plain common sense. To go through life feeling as though the sky is falling because the human race is wasteful is a waste of energy in itself.

I hope this poor kid meets someone someday that is able to open his eyes.

If my children come home sprouting this kind of nonsense, I will have to seriously consider homeschooling.

Sad.

The surest sign of a movement that's anti-reason is that it's led by kids. He seems like a really nice kid. I feel very sorry for him.
