Amusing Moment of the Day

One of my projects (both research and classes, they somewhat overlap) has to do with the FAA and planning/predicting future environmental impacts of aviation as well as what policy regulation will do to the aviation industry. Very with the times as far as environmental concerns go. Pretty neat stuff.

So today I'm in a class group meeting and my team leader informs that he doesn't believe in global warming. Not only that, but he recommended a (fictional) Michael Crichton book (State of Fear) as his evidence. Not so sure, but I'm not going to use fiction as my evidence. Perhaps instead of engineering my team leader should've looked into punditry.

Then, we're in a review with our Professor, who starts going on and on about the environment, how it will become increasingly more important in the future, and how not believing in global warming is, well... not smart.

Ah, the irony. The team leader of the environmental group doesn't "believe" in it. Doc lectures him on the evidence as to why he's wrong.

That's the only thing that made the impromptu-until-7pm-meetings today bearable.

Now it's time to go out and celebrate Marni's 4th anniversary of her 21st birthday!
