Don't get me wrong, I commute by bike as often as possible, didn't have more than 2 kids, drive a car that gets over 30 mpg (and drive it less than 6000 miles a year), recycle as much as possible, purchase locally grown and ecologically produced food and in general, try to tread lightly.
This is the Environmentalist's version of "I have friends that are black!"
There are three parts to this education equation...the teachers, the parents and the students. If the any one of them don't give a shit, then it's a complete failure.
The fact is that there many are children out there who do not have access to computers and the internet at home that can easily out perform children who do.
Without parents that are involved with their children and are at least semi-computer literate, the kid will do nothing but Facebook or Half Life all day.
...that with the shit hitting the fan everywhere, the economy in shambles, urgent need to find "clean" energy, etc. that he wouldn't have time for such things.
Yeah, it's not like all those communist leaders were hording food and other supplies for themselves, or had huge offshore bank accounts for when they "retired".
Greed is a Human attribute that exists regardless of the economic framework.
Well, there is that small difference of the Y2K problem being completely testable. In fact, that's what we did many times. Set the clock ahead, run your stuff and compare against the baseline QA results. And of course, just looking through the code was a lot easier to do than it is for Global Warming.
In southern CA, where I grew up, you had to hide down a path at least 30 feet to even get to the beach. Then, it was at least another six foot drop from the beginning of the beach to the water line.
Their biggest challenge is remembering that no matter how well they communicate something, the ultimate power to act on science lies in the political process.

I concur.

And giving the kid a computer and broadband won't make up for a crappy parent.

Pearls before swine my friend, pearls before swine.

Is he paying attention?
Someone should illustrate his lack of body armor by shooting at him with a large caliber rifle.

I don't see what the government could do after the fact, they have no expertise in the field, nor should they.
Yet they pretend they know enough to regulate it.

It seems that the "Grandma problem" essentially describes a scalper or "ticket broker" (a scalper who operates from an office in much larger volumes)
"The result is a complete disaster: people will not make the sacrifices needed to stop climate change"
SnarfQuest seems to think so.

Hike down the path....Hike.
You are so full of shit.

All my predictions are true. Honest!, Here is a paper I wrote that says they are true!
We've found the cause of Global Warming!
...why CA is so screwed up.

Every Russian limo driver I've seen in the movies are really bad guys who are usually taking you to a very bad place.
