It's for a philosophy class on critical thinking and writing arguments. There's a list of websites about opponents of the global warming theory, and the assignment is to read the articles, identify fallacies (not phalluses ) and uses of propaganda, and then write rebuttals to them using logically flawless arguments and language (7-10 pages, which isn't too bad in comparison to the rest of this quarter so far). I love the class, because I think rhetoric is 1,000 times more powerful than a weapon, if it's used right. It's interesting, but I just don't feel like doing it at the moment.
