Check out the first paragraph from an email sent out to the entire Duke undergrad population to highlight Focus the Nation, a nationwide “teach-in” about global warming. My favorite part? Tonight Cameron Crazies will be asked to shed their Duke blue for “free green t-shirts and body paint.” Can’t wait to see how that turns out. 

“Have you ever complained about the weather being too hot? Have you ever
wondered, “Gee, what?s with these crazy
droughts/floods/hurricanes/wildfires lately?”? Have you ever seen a
picture of a polar bear drowning? If you answered yes to any of these
questions, global warming concerns you. If you answered no, but are
planning on living past the age of 40, global warming still concerns
you.”

The email was written by two undergrads and someone named Jennie who is somehow associated with the Nicholas School for the Environment. But since it went through official Duke channels, it had to be approved by someone up high somewhere.

Lots of transparency. Perfect for the free and open debate shocker emails like this inspire.
