So-called "global warming" is just a secret ploy by wacko tree-huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and water, improve fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 21st-century industries, and make our cities safer and more livable. Don't let them get away with it!

Breakthrough.tv has created a video game ICED to teach people about immigration and deportation issues in the US. The premise is that you play young immigrant character and your goal is to become a US citizen.

Thanks to Boing Boing for the link.
