WHEREAS, the over-reliance on high - stakes standardized testing in state and federal accountability systems is undermining educational quality and equity in U.S. public schools by hampering educators» efforts to focus on the broad range of learning experiences that promote the innovation, creativity, problem solving, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and deep subject - matter knowledge that will allow students to contribute and thrive in a democracy and an increasingly global society and economy; and

Finally, we returned to the science, and I addressed a theme that's come up on this blog, and that I think contributes substantially to making the human response to climate change (or global warming) a particularly vexing problem — the reality that while the basics of the science are clear, the science on questions that matter most to society is not.

Summing up, he says that in his view other real - time problems, particularly global poverty, trump whatever long - term risk is posed by man - made warming, and that the slow natural pace of society's shift away from dirty fuels like coal toward cleaner ones will take care of the problem in any case.

At the inception of the Al Gore era of the global warming issue, Stephen Schneider and the Society of Environmental Journalists spotted the very thing that could stop the issue in its tracks — if the public only saw scientists contradicting each other over whether man - caused global warming was a problem, the issue would never advance as a problem in need of a solution.

A change in local rainfall may affect human society more than a change in global temperature, so we should beware of equating the size of the projected global warming with the potential seriousness of the climate change problem.

«But, of course, we knew that global cooling was the real problem and that we were heading towards a new ice age,» all the usual suspects — from the once - distinguished heights of NASA and the Royal Society to the stygian depths of DeSmog — will all chorus.

Building on this critique, Speth goes on to conclude in his book that: (1) «today's system of political economy, referred to here as modern capitalism, is destructive of the environment, and not in a minor way but in a way that profoundly threatens the planet» (2) «the affluent societies have reached or soon will reach the point where, as Keynes put it, the economic problem has been solved... there is enough to go around» (3) «in the more affluent societies, modern capitalism is no longer enhancing human well - being» (4) «the international social movement for change — which refers to itself as «the irresistible rise of global anti-capitalism» — is stronger than many imagine and will grow stronger; there is a coalescing of forces: peace, social justice, community, ecology, feminism — a movement of movements» (5) «people and groups are busily planting the seeds of change through a host of alternative arrangements, and still other attractive directions for upgrading to a new operating system have been identified» (6) «the end of the Cold War... opens the door... for the questioning of today's capitalism.»

In a policy paper released ahead of the July summit, civil society groups said that President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement was «short - sighted and irresponsible... a decision that not only ignores the reality of climate change... but also undermines the standing of the United States as a reliable partner in solving global problems.»

If this shits you... well, petal, just get over yourself: global warming is a profoundly serious problem, and if the likes of you get your way and we don't address it post haste the planet will within decades be committed to a future where down the track it is screwed for human society and for a large chunk of life on Earth.

Problem is, it's pretty much just a retread of the path the U.S. is already on, which isn't enough to keep global warming from crossing the «dangerous» two degree Celsius threshold — a point above which scientific consensus paints an increasingly bleak future, with global impacts capable of destabilizing human society.

Most Americans believed they were personally powerless to change morality and society, and therefore saw the problem of global warming as insoluble.

Instead of reevaluating the way in which every one of us lives our lives (in terms of material consumption, housing patterns, transportation patterns, dietary norms) to build societies which are radically lower in carbon emissions than they are currently, just spend a lot on money trying to tinker with global ecosystems to correct for global problems which were caused by us in the first place.

Human societies need energy — turn it off and chaos would result: But if we could fix the ratio without obliterating other life forms, we'd be giving ourselves enough breathing space to tackle other urgent global problems, such as clean water supply, food sufficiency, and the preservation of health - giving natural areas.

Of course, simplifying anything too much will lead to experts and more - informed viewers criticizing the work for oversimplifying the subject matter - and as I'll discuss below, even TreeHugger has written about the problems with this oversimplification - but in order for anyone to understand something as complex as how global trade, manufacturing and consumption functions in modern society, it can be helpful to start with a basic overview so the average person can more easily digest the material.
