I left Kansas a year ago. Will never look back. When I moved there I asked what is there to do? I was told shop and eat. LOL Then how about going to the Flint Hills. Well if you have never been there, all I can say is if Hell had a National park it would look like the Flint hills. LOL. Then we had the WBBC in Topeka, and after I read the book Whats the matter with Kansas, and it was time to go. Kansas just suck.

Climate change isn't a theory.

Climate change is an observable phenomena. We know that the planet's climate has changed over time, we have a variety of ways of measuring those changes. We know that changes in the planet's climate impacts the lives of human beings.

The only thing up for discussion, it seems, would be the causes of climate change, and how humans should react to the changing climate. And I think that those discussions probably don't occur in science class, but in social studies classes instead.

Even the causes of climate change are not debatable. There is no other reason for the steep increases in CO2 levels other than human action since the industrial revolution. The fact that CO2 prevents heat from leaving the earth and instead deflects it back at the planet is also a fact, not a theory. It acts like a blanket on the earth. These are facts.

I guess some people don't believe in neither science nor history.

scrub, rinse, repeat. Nobody has ever said that climates don't change. We wouldn't want to let that get out though.

When natural climate change occurs, it is either an event like El Nino, or changes that take place over tens of thousands of years. We're not in an El Nino, so there is no other explanation for all the climate change we are seeing.

Keep one thing in mind, climate change itself causes climate change!

Further more: Climate change is not always bad!
