The ironic part is all the paper from the blue boxes gets incinerated by the school district! So they learn all this fantastic stuff about recycling, and then the school does this?!?

Are you sure its just incinerated? Many commercial furnaces are capable of burning certain waste as an alternative fuel.

Follow the money, airedaly--follow the money.

Yeah... straight to big oil. Oh no, that's going to the "scientists" who deny that man is capable of accelerating global warming.

Or the envrionmentalists who think buying off scientists with "grants" is entirely ethical and acceptable.

Was hoping if Airedaly could shed some light upon his/her comment regarding how Native Americans had Planned ahead for Seven generations?? Would appreciate learning about the science and techniques Native Americans used to protect their environment and ward off disease and infestations as well

Sorry - i don't take troll bait.

I, too, would like to plan ahead for seven generations. Any further insight would be great! Thanks in advance.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC, is quoted as a source of credible science most usually by Pop Culture fans, or more so ones who get all their science and history from Hollywood and other Pop Culture Big Brother Type of Media. Yes! Planning for Seven Generations, kinda like watching a Eugène Ionesco Play, Theater of the absurd at its best by airedaly.

On the other hand, the CEI's scientists receive much of their funding from the fossil fuel in industry. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

GLOBAL WARMING

Follow the money.

Science from fantasy?

The far right has denied science for many years--- dwatted rabbit-what does Larry Craig have to do with global climate change ? Denial.

[airedaly]

Editorials from unknown groups claiming that global warming is a hoax are not worth reading.

If you want a scientific report that is based on years of study, including research by New Hampshire-based climate scientists, look at this. It explains what we in the Northeast can expect in the coming decades. The map showing the change in snowfall is something that every New Englander should be concerned about.
