Our children should be shown how elected officials can and will make up nonsense, or worse, blindly buy into it and then claim the need for funding to "study" or "monitor" the supposed problem. Students should learn to examine facts before deciding on any supposed hysterical claim. The whole "global warming" idea, and all the various spin-offs of it, is little more than a form of mass-hysteria invoked specifically for the sake of causing the mindset of the common man to "seek guidance" from "leaders" on how to thwart the ever-new and frightening "boogy-man". It is a tool that officials have routinely used for centuries to maintain power and to confuse the attention of the masses so they don't notice other things going on. My favorite claim vs fact example from the essay is number 8. The good Dr. is kind in simply asking "by what standard?" instead of pointing out the glaring reality that mankind's contribution to any atmospheric effect is patently insignificant compared to naturally occurring events that effect our atmosphere. As a single example, it is well known that volcanoes spew more "trash" and toxic gasses into our atmosphere than we are capable of measuring and that it is "estimated" that the volcanic activity of just the last 100 years has cast more such stuff into the earth's atmosphere than all of mankind has been capable of since our appearance on earth. This is based on science but "global warming" is not. Students should be instructed to always be suspicious of the motives of anyone who seeks a public office. When we see "leaders" lining up to take their turn at supporting something for which there is little or no evidence [like "global warming"] we should be telling ourselves not to vote for those people again because they are very clearly fools. If you vote for such a person what does that say about you? Dr. Battig’s essay should be included as required reading/learning in our local (national?) schools.
