The indoctrination begins -  as Mandvi finds out - at labor camps for the young known as school science fairs.

Check it out.

  1. I just read an article on protests in Minnesota against climate science: http://news.yahoo.com/sticking-mann-climate-science-sparks-protest-171407752.html;_ylt=Aga0fRm0LkpHOlj40k5kbnnxh7l_

    There has to be something about a metric of the downfall of a civilization when its people start protesting against reality.

  2. yeah there are always going to be people who won't budge from their position no matter what.. on the other hand there is a considerable constituency who may change their positions.. example warming skeptic Richard Muller conducted a study of temperature stations and concluded that the warming trend wasn't due to the heat island effect..he should now loudly and clearly advocate his findings. that may help change the minds of many skeptics.
