When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education.
46 years and $4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40. We are, however, #1 in cost per student.

I find the current SPC risk scale unclear. Without looking it up, which column is most clear to you?
Would you folks mind reposting please? I may have a follow up poll with a proposed solution. Thanks.
@robinmonotti Been saying this for years. Albedo is overlooked as a planetary constant. It is nearly constant because it reacts massively to any change in energy contained in water. Latent heat processes control with headroom to 1.6 million W/m². So hard to miss, but the dynamics are ignored.
@PeterTatchell Earth's temp is albedo controlled. Any incidence of higher temperature, locally or otherwise, causes the emergence of convection, clouds, and H2O turnover (precip) capable of latent heat release 5.6 orders of magnitude higher than CO2s marginal effect.
Today's temperatures are almost 10 degrees cooler than the entire Phanerozoic, since 541 million years ago. The temperature average is 18-26 degrees. Currently, it is 15 degrees. This reflects a rise of around 1.4 degrees in the 175 years since the end of the little ice age in Europe, in 1850.
Earth has been in the late Cenozoic ice age for 34 million years, since the glaciation of Antarctica. It is still glaciated today. For the past 2.58 million years, Earth has been in the Quaternary glaciation, cycles of frozen climates with brief warm interglacial periods, which we have been in for 11,700 years.
Coal has been used for warmth for several thousand years, and is a big part of the reason we have modern life at all.
The entire catastrophic nature of the campaign of fear and distorted science is only 38 years old. It has fractured world stability and led to trillions of dollars being shifted away from sovereign nations in a feeding frenzy of hysteria - that has no scientific validity.
This deliberate deception is costing the world $9.2 trillion a year, and should reach $275 trillion by 2050.
It is the greatest Ponzi scheme in modern history.
@JH_Otway_Ranges Here is an interview he did in Paris, Dec 3rd 2015.
I posted this to my YT channel on Dec 20th 2015.
Professor Nils-Axel Mörner explains how they got to "3mm/year" of sea level rise; FRAUD.
They simply added 2.3mm/year to the actual data!

A peer-reviewed study finds that most of the temperature rise observed over the past century in the US isn't from greenhouse gases, but instead from roads, buildings and parking lots.
By comparing raw US temperature data from stations in areas with different population densities, the study found that 65% of the warming since 1895 is explained by the urban heat island effect, and another 8% by urban growth into once-rural areas.
That's nearly three quarters of the warming.
No CO2 involved.
Crucially, NOAA's adjusted data hides this effect. 'Homogenization' smooths it out, a process the study's author, Dr Roy Spencer, calls "urban blending".
It's not global warming.
It's urbanization.
@eurofounder@GMidtbo It is 100% true! The EU has microprocessors that could power 2 dozen Casio watches SIMULTANEOUSLY. ⌚️ 😳
Shhh... be vewy vewy quiet. I'm not supposed to tell you this.
