I was saddened that the author glibbly assumes that global warming is a fact. My kids want to be smart. Smart isn't going through life wanting to devote your life trying to tell people how to live theirs based on irrational blutherings of neoscientists with anti capitalist political agendas. Smart is being a thinking, rational individual who acts on reality to improve his or her own life and the lives of everyone by being productive. My kids saw through it, hopefully your's will also.
