“The class found more than enough evidence to prove global climate change is occurring and humans are causing it,” Beatty said, referencing her project.
Rick Schuhmann, director of engineering leadership development, gave the students several sources for researching, including United States Senator Jim Inhofe, who said in a speech that global warming is a “hoax” and was proven to be a hoax by the nation’s top scientists.
Schuhmann wanted his students to make their judgments on facts, not beliefs.
“Science and engineering is not about beliefs — it’s about empirical evidence and judgement based upon facts,” Schuhmann said.
He offered his students dinner at Cozy Thai, 232 S. Allen Street, if they could find more than 10 valid sources that disproved the existence of global warming. The students found none.
Rick Schuhmann is the director of the Engineering Leadership Development minor. He joined Penn State in 1994 as advisr to the Leonhard Center Envisioneers.
