Happy Easter All!!!
My 12year old is 'learning' all about the environment and climate change. He has homework where he has to list 10 climate change facts, and wants help because he knows I look into this.
I now have to sit down and imagine I'm an alarmist because if I help him with 10 facts as I see it, he'll fail, either because he'll confuse the teacher who has a syllabus in front of them, or anger them as my boy will be labelled a 'denier'.
Either way his only real interest is to get this done asap so he can play more x box before g parents come round for lunch.
I'd kick him and younger brother outside but it's actually pretty cool out there for this time of year.....if big boy cared/hung around I could keep my alarmist cap on and explain it's cold because of climate change......
(Sigh....off to have an Easter beer....cheers!!)

When my 12yr old has completed the homework set by his teacher I could post them?

When my 12yr old has completed the homework set by his teacher I could post them? Good idea. I was a teacher a hundred years ago ** .... I could mark it for you. ** when the climate was perfect.

Seems like climate change "facts" are becoming harder to retrieve. Used to be that data requests sent to ncdc.noaa.gov via their automated web site would come back the same day. Recently things appear to have slowed down. Sent a small request 4 days ago and it is still showing "queued". Hmmm!
