Whacky Seattleans on Climate Change.
Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth has caused a little bit of controversy. Okay, I’m a sucker for ‘controversial’ films starring former-Vice Presidents who discuss important issues, oh for example climate change. It all started when a seventh grade science teacher planned on showing the film to the student body at the Lakota Middle School in Seattle. It all started when the students’ parents started to complain about teacher featuring Gore’s film within the classroom because it was conflicting with their religious and political beliefs. M’kay . . . can you say intolerant?
I was watching a news programme based in Seattle and a father stated something like, “I’m a Christian. I think climate change is an important issue . . . it’s biblical, it is in the Book of Revelations . . . however, I don’t think its that BIG of an issue to teach our kids about it.”
So? Let’s protect our environment. I remember studying the Bible when I was younger and I remember that God wanted us to take care of the people and things around us. Well. The environment is around us, and if we don’t take care of it - we’ll be all in underwater cities. Well. the people who cannot afford to live in the Everest Apartment Complex . . .
Climate change is an important issue that we should be telling and teaching our future generations about the issues.

I agree 100%
No matter the childrens religions they should know about whats going on globally and how their parents and the rest of the humans in the past have done nothing more than screw up the planet. If kids are to change the path of the planet in years to come then they need to understand and work what they’re given…not be as close minded and intolerant as the elders in our current society seem to be a majority of the time.
Theres a difference between being carefull and being careless. We are ALL being too much of the latter and this needs to change and soon.
