I would say once a few of the folks down Florida way experience a few more hurricanes, and the insurance companies subsequently refuse to insure for hurricane damage (already happening), and a few folks lose their homes and/or money - then some things might change... Unfortunately some people are slow learners.
But I agree that showing both sides of the argument is a good thing, as long as each argument is presented with the full story, or science in this case, and unbiased...

The 'information' they're giving kids though is very obviously biased & according to the article, distorted. You have to feel sorry for any teachers who disagree with the backward views but have to teach it anyway.

Either way, mankind is a blip on the earths history. The earth has frozen and melted heaps of times over millions of years.
