    Question for Private Schools?

    in Controversial Issues

    Posted

    That sounds like a CULTURAL issue, not a public/private issue.
    Actually, it is a public/private issue. The problem is, it kind of flies in the face of GoBigRed's argument on soccer. The private schools are also affected by the same cultural and social situations as public systems like Mayfield, yet the same schools that tend to dominate football, dominate soccer as well.

    I just read that article on the internet (that Al Gore invented). The earth has been around for millions of years. It has survived ice ages, asteroids, and disco. Are people actually arrogant enough to think they can destroy it with a few auto emissions and freon leaks? Al is an alarmist, nothing more and nothing less. He is the Al Sharpton of the environment.

    The eruptions of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and 1992 dumped more gas and toxins in the atmosphere than Man has in his entire time on the planet. The guts of the Earth were spewed into the upper atmosphere. Not just ash, greenhouse gases galore from burning coal, oil, iron, copper, and every element contained in and below the crust. (Why can't people see this? You don't need to be a scientist to use common sense.) Global weather WAS affected. The temperature DROPPED and average of 1.5 C in 1992 and 1993 around the earth. At the time, scientists where afraid the shock just might completely destroy the ozone layer. Guess what. In 1999 reports indicated that the ozone had actually repaired itself. Mother Nature adjusted and recovered.

     

    The 1815 explosion of Tambora was so bad it caused 1816 to have no summer. It was snowing in July and August as far south as Virginia. Mother Nature adjusted and recovered.

     

    I believe that we should do what is necessary to protect our environment, but there is no need to go overboard.
