California Lawmaker Seeks Climate Change as part of Public Education

Andrew Feinberg writes "A California State Senator is seeking to mandate climate change as part of the standard science curriculum. Other members of the legislative body seek to teach an opposing view. 'Simitian noted that his bill wouldn't dictate what to teach or in what grades, but rather would require the state Board of Education and state Department of Education to decide both. Although global warming is mentioned in high school classes about weather, it is currently not required to be covered in all textbooks, said the head of the California Science Teachers Association ... teachers would have plenty to discuss: rising levels of carbon dioxide, how temperatures are measured globally, and what is known and not known about global warming.'"

Your religion dictates that you ignore any and all science that runs contrary to your belief system. Hmmm, never knew secular humanism espoused that.

I've heard that one a thousand times. It doesn't matter who I reference, if they disagree with you, you paint them as an oil shill, a bush-ite, or just plain crazy. Ahh, so you mean you can't make a reference from a reputable scientific organization. Because there isn't any. So you imply that you could... you just won't because I will call the French National Academy of Science a bunch of cheese eating denier-monkeys?

Your refusal to provide any legitimate scientific support for your ideology covered by a thinly veiled attempt to distract from the real point is completely transparent. Perhaps you could look at a few Creationist arguments, they at least do them with a bit of style.
