Movable Type 4.24-en Phyllis' Weekly Challenge: 2/5/10 tag:www.eagleteens.com,2010://5.242 2010-02-04T21:12:07Z 2010-02-04T21:29:26Z Glyn Wright http://efcollegians.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi Use Phyllis Schlafly's Column "Global Warming is Frozen Over" and the links below to answer the following quesitons.

 

Backround:

 

1. Why did 20,000 delegates meet in Copenhagen to discuss "climate change"? What is the Kyoto Protocol?

 

2. What is "Climategate"? 

 

3. Why would Climate Research Unit try to suppress information concerning global weather patterns? 

 

4. Why would Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus call the theory of global warming a "religion"?

 

5. What main assumption are global-warming supporters making?

 

6. Does the U.S. Constitution give the federal government power to regulate emissions? If so, which Article and Clause give Congress authorization?

 

What's your opinion:

 

1. Should America sign onto a treaty with other nations to try to lower emissions?

 

2. Obama is on record as promising that U.S. emissions in 2050 will be reduced to our 1910 level of emissions, when we had a population of 92 million. How would this be possible?

 

3. Would you be willing to lower your standard-of-living in order to meet regulatory emissions standards?

 

4. Even if one concedes that global-warming is occurring, do you think a global treaty requiring nations to lower total emissions would be an effective solution? Why or why not?

 

5. Is it possible to find middle-ground on the debate concerning global warming? What would the compromise be?

 

Research Challenge: Research historical hysterias concerning global weather trends. Are they consistently concerned with warming? How long ago was the last hysteria?

 

Action: Post Phyllis Schlafly's column on your Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter, or any other social network in which you are a member.

untitled.JPGWe also had the honor of listening to two amazing guest speakers Utah Representative Greg Hughes and Cherilyn Eagar Republican candidate for the United States Senate!  It was an inspiring experience to hear how these two incredible people have soared to new heights as they have explored the world of government!

Representative Greg Hughes enlightened our minds as we explored the possibilities in education.  Our teens became very involved in the discussion as they expressed their views on education!

Cherilyn Eagar also opened our eyes to new possibilities in the United States Senate as she told us of her plans of action!  We hope many of our teens will volunteer to support her in her campaign!  For information about Cherilyn Eagar and her progress please visit www.eagarforsenate.com!

To close our conference we had a mock city council where our teens practiced speaking up and being heard in their communities!  Each of our teens reasoned the purpose of government in their community and then voiced their opinion!

We handed out copies of The Constitution and Declaration of Independence and asked our teens to take the pledge to read through these founding documents and really take them to heart!

    1. Academics: Courses and shorter studies that relate to the Constitution and the Worldview/Culture war in which the Constitution is a central battleground.
    2. Articulation: The presentations of persuasive speeches and moot court argumentation focusing on the hot issues, court decisions, etc.
    3. Activism: Projects in which students put into action the knowledge and skills they have acquired with emphasis on "teens teaching teens."
