Rick Schuhmann at Michael Mann's Penn State: Another professor promoting the global warming hoax?

Nov '10: Student project aims to prove global warming is occurring - The Daily Collegian Online
[Via Populartechnology.net] A recent project conducted by Penn State students proved that humans contribute to global warming, contrary to the belief some have that it’s just a natural cycle of weather changes.

“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.
