    Unsupportable conclusion my friend. Perhaps a little of your
    liberal bias shining through.


    The following American and international science academies and
    professional societies have endorsed the position of the
    Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group that shared
    the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 97, that: "An increasing
    body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming
    world and other changes in the climate system... There is new
    and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the
    last 50 years is attributable to human activities."

    Please educate us on this strong evidence that most of the warming
    is caused by humans. Please tell me how the cause and effect
    relationship between human and climate change has been isolated
    from other possible sources including natural cycles.

    Please tell me what the hay Al Gore knows about climate change and
    science and please oh please do explain to me how making a video
    and burning millions of pounds of fossil fuel to convince the
    world that we should stop burning fossil fuel correlates to a
    Nobel peace prize.

    I maintain that the original tone of the OPs message was that
    he/she has some duty to convince this child to change her view to
    the correct one. Wrong! As has been stated by many other. I agree
    that this child's views should be heard but not allowed to
    monopolize the classroom.

    Have a great day! And peace on earth.
