What kids should really be taught during 'Earth Week'
April 15, 2008
There are “climate change” stories all over the place these days, this being National Environmental Education Week. Many of our nation’s schools will be participating. The National Environmental Education Foundation is even offering an online student carbon calculator to help children figure out their “carbon footprint.” Of course, we all know it’s a way of getting kids to figure their parents’ carbon footprint so they can nag them into changing their “evil” ways. The event is funded by Canon USA (the cameras and office products company). Alexandra Cousteau is the event's spokesperson. She’s the granddaughter of the famous French explorer Jacques Cousteau.
“We can no longer ignore the human footprint on our planet," Alexandra said in a news release. “If we are to achieve a sustainable society, we must consider our impact on the natural systems that support life on Earth. EE Week is an excellent opportunity for students and educators to focus on shrinking their own carbon footprint and that of their families, schools and communities.”
Again, the liberals are targeting our children in order to brainwash them into thinking that all this global warming garbage is true. Here are some facts they won’t be teaching during EE Week:
- The Earth has actually been cooling since 1998.
- Compact fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and pose a health hazard.
- Mars, Pluto and other bodies are heating and cooling at the same rate as Earth.
- The sun is now believed by many scientists to be the culprit behind any kind of “climate change.”
- Most scientists now agree that hurricane frequency (or lack thereof in the past two years) and their intensity has nothing to do with human activity.
- The founder of The Weather Channel calls global warming the “greatest scam in history.”
- More than 500 respected scientists have published articles refuting the manmade global warming theory.
- England’s High Court now requires that when Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is shown to school children it must be accompanied by a disclaimer of 9 major mistakes found in it.
- One of the major mistakes the British High Court requires school children to know is Gore’s linking of CO2 and temperature variations is unproven.
- Polar bears dying in Gore’s film had nothing to do with climate change. They were killed by a storm.
- Greenland used to be green, thus the name.
- CO2 is not a pollutant. It’s what we exhale with every breath.
- Because of the way the batteries are manufactured and shipped, hybrids are more damaging to the environment than Hummers.
- We cooled in 2007 enough to wipe out any warming that may have occurred over the last 100 years.
- Al Gore uses 10 times the energy of an average household in just one of his four homes. That’s the revised estimate after he remodeled his Nashville home to be green.
It’s up to us as parents to combat this global ignorance. The radical environmentalists have an agenda. That agenda includes redistributing the world’s wealth. Don’t believe me? Emma Brindal is a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth. This is what Emma Brindal had to say at a recent global warming confab: “A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources.”
Now you know. Teach your children well.
