A certain truly badly done story is making its way through the skeptical blogosphere. It's a story that NPR did about a certain teenager who has decided that she doesn't believe the science behind global warming and has published a website to "debunk" it. What's bad about the story is not that a…
Today I'm going to soapbox about something utterly inconsequential and only tangentially related to science. Apologies all around. It's the weekend though, so I trust you'll forgive a bit of a deviation from the usual!

He wisely sidesteps the whole what-if-they conjecture with an admonition to 'get real' and a little empathy, and offers up a happy ending.
I think the whitehouse.gov website needs to link this - It's a good message for goodwill - for humanity and the planet! Thank you for sharing it!
