Repeat after Comrade Wong, children | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
Er, should a competition to scare kids about global warming really offer as first prize two plane tickets?
Sea Level Graphs from UC and some perspectives « Watts Up With That?
The point I’m making is that in 100 years, for some places that extra foot won’t make much of a difference. Some low lying areas will be affected certainly, but even some of the lowest lying areas of the earth won’t see all that much impact from a third of a meter of sea level rise in 100 years. Probably the worst place to live is in a river delta which is almost at sea level anyway. Even so, 30 cm falls short of the lowest notch on this graph of 1 meter.

EI: What about environmental issues? Are you into global warming?

MC: Yeah, that’s what I do with Youth Service America — we do a whole thing where kids could find ways…it doesn’t matter what you do, but as long as you’re doing something. It doesn’t matter if you’re cleaning up trash or if you’re going house to house and asking people what they want to do to help — big or small, if you’re doing something, you’re making a difference, so that’s the way I think of it.

EI: Do you believe your generation can actually save the world?

MC: I think so much has been done and it’s a lot to undo, but I think we can because we’ve got so many different technologies of seeing what’s wrong and whatnot, and I think there’s a way to do that, but we can’t do that without anyone’s help.
