Three cheers to Will for helping engage students, particularly -- the generation whose climate is most at stake -- in the first step: simply absorbing the wonders of the world's remote places, particularly the Arctic, which has been so ice-locked for so long we kind of took it for granted. -- Andy Revkin, nytimes.com/dotearth
"Global Warming Movement"!!
This isn't science, this religion.
These sort of lax allegations and boosterism are why so many are turned off or outright skeptical.
These guys will do nothing to convince those sitting on the fence.
This guy plays really fast and loose with his assertions.
