But, anyone who openly disagrees with anthropogenic global warming is labeled a denier who doesn't care if the planet is destroyed. Pretty much everything put in the hands of students these days tells them that humans are the cause, even when the science isn't definitive.<BR/><BR/>The Religion of Man-made Global Warming demands adherence to the doctrine and anyone who disagrees is apostate. Never mind that there is much we don't know about how the climate works. Until I start seeing balanced information for students and the general public about climate change (you know, there seems to be a stronger correlation between solar activity and earth's temperature than any supposed correlation to carbon dioxide levels...), I'm not going to present my students with something that is, IMO, questionable.<BR/><BR/>So, I have decided that I won't spend my money on this book or place it in classroom of mine. You think the book is great - that is your choice. I write about children's books from my perspective. People can read my posts and make their own judgements.Miss Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036711338399907180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27530118.post-29388012497196910362008-02-02T13:25:00.000-06:002008-02-02T13:25:00.000-06:00I love this book. I ran across it in the pst and ...I love this book. I ran across it in the pst and fell in love with it. I went back yesterday and bought it. Not once does the book blame humans for global warming. It simply reads: <BR/><BR/>"As you know, the planet is heating up. The ice caps are melting. Year after year, these lovely birds of the South Pole see their territory get smaller and smaller."<BR/><BR/>It's not saying it is getting smaller and smaller because of humans. It is getting smaller because of global warming in general melting away their territory. <BR/><BR/>This book is a great way to introduce new vocabulary, math, social studies, and science to young students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
