I have a plan for Massachusetts public schools that will help their students become better people, more productive citizens.
In schools, we will teach the Ten Commandments. Then we will move to the Beatitudes, and finally a summation of the two great commandments presented by that first century prophet Jesus of Nazareth.
The Earth's temperature has risen over the past century. There is no doubt about it. Since 1880, the temperatures on Earth measured on land and at sea show that the Earth's globally averaged surface temperature in 2016 was 0.94 degrees Celsius (1.69 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the 20thcentury average. This finding comes from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and is likely accurate.
Most climate change scientists, activists and politicians attribute these higher temperatures to greenhouse gases – primarily carbon dioxide (CO2). They argue that the temperature is rising because of increased levels of CO2 caused by mankind, primarily through the use of hydrocarbons – coal, oil, and gas.
