Out of the mouths of babes ...

LongmontFYI - Global warming on trial:
"LONGMONT — Humans don’t cause global warming, a jury of sixth graders at Trail Ridge Middle School concluded Thursday after hearing opposing arguments from their peers."

The vote in the classroom was 7-4 against AGW. Not a bad performance. I wonder what the result would have been if the degate had been on the more interesting questions - assuming there is a human-caused component to global warming, how large is it? will the solutions being bandied about have a significant impact? can the worst case scenarios constantly touted in the press be considered likely enough to guide policy at the expense of reductions in economic growth which also has serious, and not so speculative, negative consequences?
