A Win for Science in Kansas
So. apparently. the Kansas State Board of Education voted to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a new science curriculum that treats evolution and climate change as fact and promotes hands-on learning.
The board passed the new standards in an 8-2 vote, and encountered significantly less opposition to evolution and climate change principles than in the past.
Recall that the state voted to weaken evolution teaching in 1999 and 2005, although it adopted an evolution-friendly science curriculum in 2007. What does this mean?
Progress.

climate change as fact
Has there ever been any question but that the climate is always changing? Oh, that's right, by the AGW hysterics who insist that we need to go back to the pre-industrial climate.
Which one? Little Ice Age or Medieval Warm Period (which was warmer than now)? Or the prior cold period or preceding Roman or Minoan Warm Periods? Perhaps the Holocene Climatic Optimum, which was much warmer? Or one of the ice ages?
What's the ideal climate? How do we prevent it from doing what it's always done?

You keep using those words, but I don't think they mean what you think they mean.
