[quote=Anonymous]At the AAP presentation at Kilmer last night, the science teachers seemed particularly enthused that they "debate" in science class. I'm a little concerned. This isn't philosophy. It's science. "Debates" in science seem best reserved for people with extraordinary credentials parsing details out of mountains of data. One of the topics they mentioned: "Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?" That's not really a debate. Even the Republicans in the Senate have agreed global warming exists -- they just think it's caused by solar cycles and fairy dust. In the scientific community, it's overwhelming consensus that there's something going on -- it's just a matter of degree and what we should do to tackle it. The "Is it real?" argument is simply in the province of paid-for politicians and sensationalist media. Has anyone been through this program? Is it not quite the postmodern morass I'm fearing?[/quote]
