The American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) is an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems. The Academy’s elected members are leaders in the academic disciplines, the arts, business, and public affairs. James Bowdoin, John Adams, and John Hancock founded the Academy in Boston during the American Revolution. Their objective, as stated in its charter, was to "cultivate every art and science which may tend to advance the interest, honour, dignity, and happiness of a free, independent, and virtuous people." They were joined by Robert Treat Paine and 58 local community leaders to charter the organization in 1780. Other prominent men soon joined, and early members included Benjamin Franklin (whose American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia provided a spur to the Boston leaders to create a more politically oriented society), George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The Academy has about 200 Nobel Laureates on its membership roll. The modern academy is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It sponsors conferences, organizes research projects, and publishes a quarterly journal, Dædalus. As of 2009, the Academy has 4,000 fellows and about 600 foreign honorary members. Throughout the year, members are invited to regularly scheduled talks and meetings in Cambridge and around the country. From Wikipedia under the

Among scientific experts the debate as to the cause of global warming is over, because the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory. The people who continue to oppose AGW are either ignorant of the science or have ulterior motives. Many are simply in denial because they can't accept the reality that humans are causing significant environmental damage and we need to change the way we do things to fix the problem. They're afraid this will mean they can't drive gas guzzlers around anymore, that maybe there will be some sort of carbon tax and/or more government regulation. One natural reaction to fear is denial, and that's what we're seeing among a fairly small percentage of the… [cont.] Answered by Dana1981, Master of Science - Sun Dec 14 23:01:26 2008 What College Fits Me?

The American Educational Reform in the 1800s American reform movements in the early to mid 1800's strived at improving our developing society. America was growing larger, and with the expanding population, many new ideas sprang up. Conflicting opinions between the people of the United States caused the emergence of an Age of Reform, where people tried to change things such as the educational system and women rights.
