Fifth grade students at Fremont Elementary School in Colorado were assigned a reading passage that describes global warming as a dangerous, man-made phenomenon that will destroy civilization in a few hundred years.
The reading assignment was found inside a workbook aligned with the controversial national Common Core curriculum guidelines, and was titled
Homework from the Future. It tells the fictional story of a visitor to the year 2512 who discovers that the eastern United States is under water and the countrys population greatly reduced, all thanks to man-made global warming:
By the early 21st century, people knew that the massive use of fossil fuels was heating up the planet. But people didnt stop their destructive lifestyles. They just kept using up Earths resources. The ice sheets melted, and Earths crust shifted. ..
In 2130. the oceans began to rise over farmland and cities.
In 300 years, most of the eastern United States was covered with water. All that remains are the Smokey Islands -- formerly the Smokey Mountains."

So Common core thinks that the Eastern USA up to about the tips of Smokey mountains, i.e. Smokey Mountains are 6,644 feet will be under water.
These "experts" are trying to make kids believe that the Eastern USA will be covered by at least a mile deep of water.
Sorry but the PHYSICS of how much water there is ENTIRELY in the WORLD totally makes that an impossibility!
There are 343 quintillion gallons of water in all the oceans.
How many gallons of water does the ocean have
Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow water volume cubic miles: 5,773,000 or 5.7 quintillion gallons or 1.74% of all the WATER in the world!
How much water do ice caps and glaciers hold? | Textile Waste Diversion
So explain how by melting ALL the ice in glaciers and permanent snow would cover the land mass from East Coast to Smokey Mountains with a mile deep of
water?
From Providence RI to Nashville TN is about 900 long , 900 miles wide and 1 mile deep or 810,000 cubic miles of water.
Greenland ice cap contains 10 percent of the total global ice mass.

So my question is has any one from Common core figured out that if ALL of Greenland ice cap melts or 573,000 cubic miles of water would cover with
one mile deep of water or 810,000 cubic feet at risk.. i.e. from Smokey Mtns (5,000 feet tall) to Rhode Island..900 miles away)
See this kind of flaky math just bothers me that Common Core will be teach our kids???
