14 Myths About Global Warming

A man from ancient times is inclined to believe the myths. Some of them are not devoid of logic, but still more than half is complete nonsense. Same thing with global warming. Here are common misconceptions associated with it: 1). Global warming does not occur.

Unfortunately happening. Science more than once proved, and the facts confirmed that the temperature increases rapidly. 2). Global warming – a natural process. Probably not (rise temperature, especially in the 70s, much higher than natural changes). 3). In any case, the consequences will be gradual.

Severe storms become more frequent, and history proved a sharp change in climatic conditions may come suddenly, in just a few years. 4). Global warming will lead to a flood. If warming will go the same pace, the sea level rise of 1 meter. If we assume that all the glaciers melt, which of course is impossible, then the water will rise to 10 meters. And when you consider that the average height of land above sea level – 840 meters, then worry so much about flooding, it is not necessary. 5). Global warming – the only cause sudden, unpredictable changes in weather. Not the only one. There are a number of natural, cyclical processes, to which global warming has nothing to do. And they are what can cause sudden warming or cooling. These factors may serve as ocean currents, cyclones, changing Earth's magnetic field and just coincidence. 6). Carbon dioxide emissions are too small to cause global warming.

Countrys History Textbooks

Patriotism … Such a proud and radiant floor. p. Dictionary SI Ozhegova – it's "dedication and love for his homeland, his people." But this feeling can not arise from nowhere, it should be brought up from childhood. In my opinion – Is the direct responsibility of the school subject as the history of Russia. In what other school subjects can be fully and completely explain to children why should love their country, inculcate in them a sense of patriotism. Rate of domestic History has traditionally been viewed as one of the main pillars of patriotic education.

As the leading objectives of history education as defined in the federal component of state standards in history, we see "promoting patriotism, respect for the history and traditions of our country, to human rights and freedoms, democratic principles of public life", "civic education, national identity, development philosophical beliefs of students based on their understanding of historical, cultural, religious, ethno-national traditions, moral and social attitudes, ideological doctrines …. Thus, textbooks history should form a sense of patriotism and civic outlook. After studying history textbooks to the students the task, "see themselves historically representative of civil, ethno-cultural, faith-based community, a citizen of Russia. " Only this is not always the modern textbooks and manuals on the history of Russian help to bring love for the motherland and the pride of her young generation. After read some books there is a distorted patriotism, which can be reborn in the future, and nationalism and chauvinism in, or just any emotion does not arise.
