Pending doom: Global warming crisis (from Maine 4th graders)

A group of fourth-graders in Portland creates a list of priorities to stop global warming.

Our school study of global warming started with lots of
questions. What is global warming? What is happening now?
What might happen in the future? What can each of us do to
help? Why should we care? What will the future look like?

A small group of students at our school has been researching
and studying the effects of global warming. The evidence and
data we collected is so overwhelming that we have decided to
write about this issue.

We want everyone to help curb Global warming. It truly means
that the Earth is getting warmer. The ocean is warming at such
an alarming rate that the continents are in danger.

Such a warming of the ocean is fuel for more severe hurricanes
such as Katrina. Katrina was only a Category 1 storm when it
crossed Florida. It became a monster storm by feeding off the
extremely warm water in the Gulf of Mexico.

Just plain sick.

2. Good for the kids...

I am glad they are discussing this, however, the statements in the article are pretty amusing. For anyone to take this seriously is insane.
