Rockport-Fulton Middle School's Students Working Around Town (SWAT) team has been participatinig in local community action services in an effort to make a difference in society.
The group of 40 eighth graders participated in the Adopt-a-Beach program and have been working with seniors at a local nursing home to brighten up their day. The SWAT team visits the nursing home once a month, shares stories and games with the young-at-heart residents, and even manicures their nails.
The SWAT team also works with children at a local daycare center, visiting once a month, sharing games with them, assisting their teaching, reading to them, doing arts and crafts and even just hanging out on the playground with them.
The group also hosts various fundraisers to help buy gifts for the elderly and young they visit regularly. They have many other community service activities planned for this spring, next year and beyond.
Sponsors said the response the group has received is so heart warming and the RFMS students will continue to pay it forward.”

Instead of presenting this to the scientific world in a peer reviewed journal, these guys publish it in this book in an attempt to sway public opinion. I could go on as many of the statements in this article are misleading, or blatantly ludicrous. Suffice it to say, it looks to me like this book is much more about influencing public opinion than any scientific review of whether human activity is causing climate change.
It is sad some people will believe this as fact. "
