This week NSDL’s blogosphere features a comment to the News Topic Center post: 2006 Heralded Record Loss of Ozone and Substantial Ice Shrinkage that questions the human role in global warming and climate change and suggests resources on the other side of “This historic debate (which) is a wonderful opportunity to give students an insight into the central role of scientific debate in scientific method.”
A lively panel presentation at last week’s NSDL Annual Meeting: Meeting Web Kids on Their Own Turf: Expanding Online Social Spaces for Scholarship,
sparked a thoughtful converstaion between Dave MacArthur and Tammara Sumner regarding MacArthur’s post, Keeping up with the pace of the web in education in which he wonders about why significant technologies such as DLESE’s strand maps take so long to make their way into classrooms. You are invited to take a look and add your thoughts.
Former Vice President Al Gore has put out a DvD on GLOBAL WARMING called “An Inconvenient Truth”. Please rent it, watch it, and tell your friends about it. While it is frightening, it is also very enlightening, as well as empowering!
This is VERY IMPORTANT!
Thanks,

I think it is pretty sad that global warming is used as an example of scientific debate because I don’t think there is any significant scientific debate on this issue anymore!
This just furthers the false notion that there isn’t a clear scientific consensus on this issue.
