Im Miserable

I just wanted to let everyone know I have to write a 12 page paper for my final over global warming.... Ask me how an engine works and I'll write you a book, ask me to write a few pages on this s**t and I'm pulling stuff outta my ass just for the intro.

If it's coming out of your ass, no wonder it's so dang hot. That's methane silly.

So start off telling how your engine is bad for global warming and then explain how the engine works.

Explain how automobiles are NOT the cause of global warming, things like Mother Earth, power generation, China and Toyota are to blame.

You guys are funny.

 

No what I had to do was basically this, I had 2 options to choose from. Global Warming exists and man has or has not made it worse....I picked man has made it worse, just because it's so easy to do with people and groups like Al Gore. But yeah I've got power plants, the transportation industry, deforestation, lack of interest in cleaner use of fossil fuels, like hybrids. Ethanol isn't very wide spread (I live around corn fields, and I've never seen a E85 station in my life)(even though I've heard its harder to make than what it's worth), hydro cars aren't wide spread, stuff like that...basically whatever I can find. My personal opinion always goes out of the window for these papers, I just do whats easiest.

 

None of this is really in my own interest, even though it probably should be. I agree we do need to cut back on the CO2 we produce...but I'm no tree hugger

I love to see the reaction from the LIB's on that statement.

Screw global warming, What gets me is when you watch the weather and its hot that day then they bring up and say "if it gets 2 more degrees hotter it will break the record high set back in 1948" so where are those global warming S.O.Bs now? But those treehugging peices of $hit dont see that plus they dont care about jumping into commercial jet burning mega fuel to go to there protests somewhere SCREW UM.

Global warming is real. We got about 4 inches of it earlier this week.

Haha, yea I was JUST gonna say. If Global Warming is such a problem then why are we having some of our coldest winters ever...in HOUSTON!

 

Just a couple years back we had SNOW on Christmas..in HOUSTON!!

 

Global Warming..

Man, I don't envy you in writing that paper. Global warming is real. However, it is primarily a natural phenomenom that people "may" be contributing to.

 

I heard a vegatarian try to get Gore to quit eating beef because cows produce more methane and CO2 than any other single source in the world. Somehow, I think AG just got in his jet and watched those fields of cows as he ate his steak going to his next global warming lecture.

 

 

My opinion, of course

Well, it looks like I'll have to quote myself....

Sorry, back on topic....

 

If you're more into how engines work, Use an engine as an analogy for the earth, and someone not doing the maintenance on the engine as the global warming effect.

 

As the engine gets used, and the oil not changed, it begins to heat up, causing damage, like the global warming.

 

Then end the report with the idea of an engine being able to usually be rebuilt, but there are no replacement parts for the earth, so it may be a bit more difficult.

I found when I was in college, that if you want an "A", all you have to do is find out what the instructor likes or believes and write according to those beliefs or the instructors politics. I don't know if it is easiest, but I too found that my personal opinion, like yours, didn't count.

 

 

FWIW

Why not put in effort and learn something about the topic ? My opinion aside on Global Warming , I think the whole point in writing a paper is to build skills and find your own ideas and form your own opinions...

 

Ya have a chance to run with it so as long as ya are in School to run with education put it out there and run like hell...

What a lazy-a55 instructor!!!

The only reason to assign an either/or polarizing subject is to have you understand your position then write about the opposite position as if you were positive about that position. Then there would be a summarization paper created to outline why you have chosen a stance on the various points, this would be an exercise on how to conclude a compromise.

Ultimately it's a worthless effort for the reason of grading individuals. It's your beliefs that may or may not align with the instructor's. These days, instructors seem to have a personal agenda to get EVERYONE that they teach to view things only the way they view them. Instructors are suppose to be teaching the fundamentals of how to gather all possible information and form your own hypothesis. NOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO THINK, IT'S MUST BE HOW TO THINK FOR YOURSELF.

 

Global warming has always existed in cycles.

1. Did mankind accelerate this current cycle?

1a. Is the global warming cycles at predictable intervals?

2. If mankind did indeed accelerate this cycle, Can mankind be trusted to create a fix?

3. "Would the cure be worse then the illness?"

3a. If mankind creates a fix, how would it be full-proof?

3b. What if the mankind fix "screwed-up"? (can't even get the first version of any firmware to work right)

4. (related with 1a) If mankind stopped today all activities thought to "possibly" contribute, and the cycle seem to end within 10 years, how can it be proven that those stopped activities was the "cure" or just the end of one of the natural end of the current cycle?

 

The instructor should of had "bigger picture" sight and asked why has it become so mandatory to "pigeon-hole" people in one of two cubby-holes, and not allow any positions in between?

Good/Evil, Pro-Choice/Pro-Life, Republican/Democrat, etc.

i.e. if you are Pro-Life you are labeled a Republican automatically

if you are tree-hugger you are labeled a Democrat.

What if you want one tooth-pick created from a 200 year-old redwood tree and were Pro-Choice? Repubilcrat or Democan? NEITHER IT'S AN INCONCEIVALBE POSITION.

 

There is no longer a position of compromise, it's has become whom can beat the other into total submission or your scum.

 

Give your instructor this post and challenge IT to why they believe in perpetuating polarization.
