An inconvenient acronym methinks.

A dyed-in-the-wool Yankee Puritan Collectivist. She can't help herself...it's socio-genetic. The devil may work in New York ... but he lives in Boston. While in the bottom right - In Florida, Officials Ban Term ‘Climate Change’" The state of Florida is the region most susceptible to the effects of global warming in this country, according to scientists. Sea-level rise alone threatens 30 percent of the state’s beaches over the next 85 years. But you would not know that by talking to officials at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the state agency on the front lines of studying and planning for these changes. DEP officials have been ordered not to use the term “climate change” or “global warming” in any official communications, emails, or reports, according to former DEP employees, consultants, volunteers and records obtained by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting. The policy goes beyond semantics and has affected reports, educational efforts and public policy in a department that has about 3,200 employees and $1.4 billion budget. “We were told not to use the terms ‘climate change,’ ‘global warming’ or ‘sustainability,’ ” said Christopher Byrd, an attorney with the DEP’s Office of General Counsel in Tallahassee from 2008 to 2013. “That message was communicated to me and my colleagues by our superiors in the Office of General Counsel.”

Back when I worked for state and local governments, I was always happy to hear an executive or administrator ask for a balanced analysis of an issue(s). Rightly believing that you didn't want to leave any evil snakes laying around waiting to bite you OR the constituents you were pledged to serve. Requiring that your employees ignore all dogma and concentrate on open-minded analysis will ultimately let the truth shine through ... whatever that may be. The devil does live in Boston ... but his ugly, younger sister / brother vacations in Florida!

If I wanted America to fail NOT. That video makes me somewhat sad. When children become that indoctrinated at such a young age, it portends lots of problems in the future.

That's the main reason the army needs 19 year old recruits. More about receptiveness to military indoctrination than physical capability. And will those 19 year old men pull the trigger when told to? Against who?

Shucks, I could have told them that about Cockroach behavior. We used to put sugar trails out for them in Guam. Turn out the lights, wait 5 mins and then turn the lights on. Douse them with lighter fluid, (they are fast little suckers) and light them up. Turn out the lights quickly so we could see where they had been hiding as they would always return to the last safe area, even as they popped from the heat. We needed to get rid of them.

Actually, there is so much precedent in this area that the Senators should be removed from office.

Have to go back to the Logan Act. Then look at the general conduct of the Senate in treaties. The conduct of the 47 was nuts.

I'm going to agree with sigurdur. The conduct of the 47 was borderline treasonous. Regardless of the your political affiliation you have to be an American first.

I want to be alive first. And if your leader is doing something incredibly foolish, you need to speak up. Obama can die for his country if he wants to, but leave me out of it.

Those Geese been anywhere near a solar array?
New syndrome, post solar array syndrome.
I have to say no matter what side of this debate you sit on these loony green ideas are funny but worrying all at the same time.
You know I was into physics as an undergrad and I would have been totally absorbed by those projects and would have lied about anything to have idiots pay for a peace of kit like that in CA.
Just saying.
