Letter to the editor: Professor Rossiter uses "fallacious reasoning" not facts
Imagine the surprise of a student who comes to Washington, pays over $150,000 for an education, graduates with honors, and leaves the university only to find that among the faculty from whom she learned, there remain supporters of fallacious reasoning and archaic ideas. In an appalling Op-Ed piece appearing in Monday's Eagle ("AU's 'Green Teaching' Certificate Promotes Bias"), Professor Rossiter shows his lack of understanding of the Green Teaching Certification, calls the environmental movement simply a "particular conclusion about the tradeoff between the environment and the economy," and ignores that climate change has been significantly linked to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions by an international panel of Nobel Prize-winning scientists (www.ipcc.ch).
