Email Correspondence with Michael Kundu, School Board President in Marysville, Washington
Michael Kundu, a whale photographer and school board president in Marysville, Washington, apparently thinks he knows more about global warming than NASA, NOAA, the IPCC, and thousands of scientists. And he’s perfectly comfortable banning from “his” classrooms any scientific information that contradicts his opinions.
This surprising state of affairs came to light when Kundu received a copy of The Skeptic’s Handbook by Australian science communicator Joanne Nova. The 16-page booklet challenges conventional wisdom about the causes and extent of global warming in an easy-to-read but scientifically rigorous fashion.
Kundu responded to the mailing by sending a blistering email to other school board presidents, on which he copied Carter. “I would encourage all of you to stuff that junk mail directly into the recycle basket,” he wrote.
This document offers the text of the email exchange among Kundu, climate scientist Prof. Bob of James Cook University, Queensland, Australia, and Heartland President Joseph L. Bast.
