Kristen did research, and didn't rely on "consensus", as 'agreement' is NOT proof, only opinion. When will our learned "journalists" learn the difference, or have they all misplaced their dictionaries?

Hi Noel,

 I was on my way to bed when Mike told me about your article. It's been a long day. School, track and over 1300 new emails when I got home. I think the reporter did a nice job, it was weird though, he was here for over 3 hours and they had to make it into 8 minutes so it was a surprise on how much we talked about did not get into the interview. He was really nice, I was really nervous and felt nauseous at first but he just hung out for a while before pulling out his microphone. You might be surprised that there are many sceptics in the NPR audience. Most of the emails were very positive but even the people who disagreed were polite and congratulated me on my work. Have a good night, I'll check in tomorrow.  : )

Kristen better be careful...she may end up being thrown in jail since many AGW advocates believe it's a crime to do research and experiments, or to speak out against the "consensus" viewpoint. At 16 years old, she's quite brave to take on these nutcases. It also goes to show just how fragile the entire AGW hypothesis is - especially when a teenager can sound more rational than "the world's top scientists."

Here's an excellent series that raises many pertinent questions concerning the entire AGW debate. I think it has already created enough doubt about the alarmist viewpoint, and the series isn't even halfway finished:

CLIMATE CHANGE STUPIDITY

Kristen:

You have done a wonderful job with your research and discussion on the topic of Climate.  Congratulations on your school accomplishments as well.

You are a fortunate person to not only think for yourself but to also have the intelligence to know what you don't know and to learn what you can know.

Whomever nurtured the desire to learn within you, parents/teachers, is to be commended for a job well done.

Thank you!

RRAM Tough! 

You seem to have discovered the secret to a rewarding future life.....

Do what makes you motivated, what makes you happy to get out of bed in the morning. There is nothing more fullfilling than to work on or work at the thing that gives you the greatest pleasure.

Good luck in architechture :)

For Kristen, she has unfortunately set herself up with the bullseye on her back at the hands of the envirofascists. Don't expect any help from her politicos in Maine, where even Republicans like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe would show their RINO tendencies. I hope Inhoffe still keeps in contact with her.

We had a generation steeled through the depression and two world wars that gave strength to our nation. Unfortunatley that generation raised the Baby Boomers in a time of prosperity and peace. Today we see the results of a spoiled generation in control of a country.

Will the next generation have enough people like this girl, or will we find that the indoctrination of a generation through beaurocratic institutions, created by the Baby Boomers, squashed the majority of thinkers?

Great job Kristen. There is hope that the scientific process will survive another generation. If you do put the global warming issue on the back-burner, could I suggest you take up economics as your next battle cry? It seems like a natural progression since both "sciences" deal heavily with unintended consequences. Keep the shades on because your future is bright.
