<i>[ Originally a 1965 Teach-Ins interrupted classrooms to learn
about the VietNam war ]</i><br>
<b>Penn State Behrend holds teach-in on climate change</b><br>
by: Jordana Elder<br>
Mar 30, 2022 <br>
Students and staff at a local college came together in hopes of
sparking change.<br>
<br>
A world-wide teach-in on climate change justice took place at Penn
State Behrend on March 30.<br>
<br>
The global event, which spanned over 50 countries, focused on
broadening the discussion around climate change, and included ways
that people could help reduce stress on the planet.<br>
<br>
Organizers said that several disciplines across campus play a role
in this issue and there’s something everyone can do.<br>
<br>
“Climate change is occurring globally. It really requires global
actions, global conversations, it needs all of us kind of thinking
about this and being part of the change,” said Sherri Mason,
Director of Sustainability for Penn State Behrend.<br>
<br>
This is the inaugural year for the world-wide teach in at Behrend.
Organizers are hoping to make this an annual event on campus.<br>

describes it well ]</i><br>
<b>Teach-in</b><br>
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br>
A teach-in is similar to a general educational forum on any
complicated issue, usually an issue involving current political
affairs. The main difference between a teach-in and a seminar is the
refusal to limit the discussion to a specific time frame or a strict
academic scope. Teach-ins are meant to be practical, participatory,
and oriented toward action. While they include experts lecturing on
their area of expertise, discussion and questions from the audience
are welcome, even mid-lecture. "Teach-ins" were popularized during
the U.S. government's involvement in Vietnam. The first teach-in,
which was held overnight at the University of Michigan in March
1965, began with a discussion of the Vietnam War draft and ended in
the early morning with a speech by philosopher Arnold Kaufman...<br>
- -<br>
The Michigan teach-in received national press, including an article
published in the March 25, 1965 issue of the New York Times. It went
on to inspire 35 more teach-ins on college campuses within the next
week. By the end of the year, there had been teach-ins at 120
campuses. Antiwar teach-ins were held until the end of the Vietnam
War. <br>

<i>[ Blame Trump ] </i><br>
<b>Two stark reminders about the political challenge of tackling
climate change</b><br>
By Philip Bump<br>
National correspondent<br>
March 28, 2022 <br>
There was an unappreciated irony to the placard that graced the
lectern from which former president Donald Trump spoke over the
weekend. “Save America,” it said, reflecting Trump’s preferred
descriptor for the threat the country faces should it fail to
acquiesce to his whims. But it was from behind this apocalyptic
imperative that Trump laughed off an actual threat the country
faces.<br>
<br>
Well, not “laughed off,” really.<br>
<br>
Trump claimed we were at the “single most dangerous time for our
country in history” thanks to the threat of nuclear weapons,
somewhat downplaying decades in which the exact same threat
lingered.<br>
<br>
“And yet you have people like John Kerry worrying about the climate!
The climate!” Trump continued. “Oh, I heard that the other day. Here
we are, [Russian President Vladimir Putin is] threatening us [and]
he’s worried about the ocean will rise one-hundredth of one percent
over the next 300 f----n’ years.”<br>
The crowd, pleasantly surprised by the vulgarity, cheered loudly...<br>

<b>Beyond 1.5 Series | Tipping points: Is there a point of no
return?</b><br>
Oct 12, 2021<br>
Woodwell Climate Research Center<br>
Arctic permafrost and tropical forests are two of the most powerful
natural drivers of our climate system, and both are approaching the
point of tipping from carbon sinks to carbon sources–with
potentially catastrophic consequences. At the same time, the ice
sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are nearing points of no return,
beyond which they may be committed to complete melting that would
cause massive sea-level rise. Continuing to emit greenhouse gases
without knowing where these tipping points lie is like driving
toward a cliff in the fog. This gripping event will explore what we
know–and need to know–to avoid going over the cliff.<br>

<font size="5"><b>March 31, 2009</b></font><br>
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann rips denialist Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL):<br>
<blockquote> "But our winner, Congressman John Shimkus, Republican
of Illinois, with two fascinating and utterly contradictory
statements. A, Congressman Shimkus on why there isn‘t global
warming. 'Today we have about 388 parts per million of Carbon
Dioxide in the atmosphere. I think in the age of the dinosaurs,
when we had most flora and fauna, we were probably at 4,000 parts
per million. There‘s a theological debate that this is a
carbon-starved planet, not too much carbon.' <br>
<br>
"Number one, Carbon and Carbon Dioxide are not the same thing.
Number two, the only theological debate over how much carbon the
plan needs would be taking place in the church of the Labrea Tar
Pits. Number three, didn‘t the freaking dinosaurs go extinct? Or
do they just have a bad public relations person? <br>
<br>
"But I‘m digressing. B, Congressman Shimkus on why it doesn‘t
matter anyway. 'The Earth will end only when God declares it‘s
time to be over. A man will not destroy this Earth. This Earth
will not be destroyed by a flood. I appreciate having panelists
here who are men of faith, and we can get into the theological
discourse of that position. But I do believe that God‘s word is
infallible, unchanging, perfect.'<br>
<br>
"So a man pressing a button to start a nuclear war, that would be
God‘s infallible word? Why do we bother trying to govern? Can‘t
he do something about the budget deficit? By the way, as you hit
me over the head with your Bible, Congressman, there ain‘t a word
in it about those dinosaurs you mentioned earlier. <br>
<br>
"Congressman John Shimkus of Illinois, today‘s worst person in the
world!"<br>
