Liza Magill, Staff Writer

The other night I sat at the dinner table, attempting to elude the endless questions about my day from my inquisitive parents, when my father abruptly changed the subject. “So global warming isn’t actually happening,” he boldly proclaimed. “The Wall Street Journal had an article about it today; many scientists signed a document saying that it wasn’t happening.” I couldn’t and still can’t believe my father’s conviction about the truth in his claim. How could he believe this article to be completely accurate, while ignoring the thousands of other scientists who advocated on behalf of the same issue? It didn’t even have to do with my or his views about global warming at that... Continue Reading
