What does Newt’s huge low-cost turnaround, in the face of all the money that Romney has spent, presage about the fall election with the hundreds of millions that Obama plans to raise?
[Afternoon update]
Heh: “Newt’s win in SC shows that big money can’t persuade as well as threats of violence from Chuck Norris.”
What we learned. Actually, it’s not news to me. This kind of one-sided media bias has been on full display for a very long time.
…from Andrea Harris. Yes, just because Google opposes it doesn’t make it good.
A graph that explains why the economy is stagnating. It’s because of flawed government policies that continue to pump air into a blown tire.
And I’m feeling a lot of schadenfreude.
Related: did social media usage drive Republicans more than Democrats? That seems counterintuitive but it may be so.
It’s inevitable, but there will be a lot of vicious fighting in the trenches by the entrenched before it happens.
Why it’s worse than worthless.
So it’s come to this:
after hearing an increasing number of anecdotes about K-12 teachers being challenged about how they taught climate science to their students, she says she began to see “parallels” between the two debates –namely, an ideological drive from pressure groups to “teach the controversy” where no scientific controversy exists. To get expertise in this area, NCSE hired climate and environmental education expert Mark McCaffrey as its new climate coordinator and appointed Pacific Institute hydroclimatologist Peter Gleick to its board of directors.
“There’s a climate of confusion in this country around climate science,” says McCaffrey, and NCSE’s goal will be to ensure that “teachers have the tools they need if they get pushback and feel intimidated.” Recent surveys, such as one done among K-12 teachers in September by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), suggest that attacks on climate education are far from rare. NSTA found that over half of the respondents reported having encountered global warming scepticism from parents, and 26% had encountered it from administrators. And a December survey from the National Earth Science Teachers’ Association found that 36% of its 555 K-12 teachers who currently teach climate science had been “influenced” to “teach the controversy.”
One of these things is not like the other. And Gleick sounds like a real piece of work.
…at the University of California. I love the “official” state seal of California.
The alumni association of my alma mater wants to travel to Cuba. Regardless of their saying it’s not about politics, I’ll bet a lot of them are admirers of Castro, which I always think is appalling.
