Andrew Bolt is a polite and studious climate realist, but climate alarmists now portray him in children's textbooks in Australia as a climate "shock jock."
2/21/12, "How global warming is preached in Year 8," Australia Herald Sun, Andrew Bolt
"A textbook on how to brainwash children on global warming. From this book for Year 8 NSW students we learn the only “shock jocks” and a few journalists - no real scientists, of course - disagree with the “overwhelming scientific evidence” that the world is warming because of man’s gases. These deniers include, well, you know who. Some deniers seem to be in the pay of “many large fossil fuel-based industries” who have “tried to discredit the work of scientists”. “Fortunately”, though “a new generation of world leaders” is “taking global warming seriously” - Barack Obama, Al Gore and Kevin Rudd.
And on and on:
This is not education, but propaganda. It is pure melodrama, short on facts and long on fancy.
Few “deniers” - an offensive term meant to evoke Holocaust denial - dispute that man’s emissions have a tendency to warm the planet. That is not where the main debate is at.
The dispute is about the extent of any warming, the danger of it, the likelihood of it being overwhelmed by natural influences, the true sensitivity of the climate to our gases, and the cost-benefit of trying to “stop” the warming we’ve seen - which actually halted 15 years ago.
These “deniers” include many reputable scientists, including some of the world’s leading climate scientists. To suggest they’ve been bribed to say what they do is a vile smear. If money does corrupt debate, it should be noted that the vast bulk of money goes to the alarmists.
As for those leaders who “fortunately” take “global warming seriously”, Obama is not doing anything seriously about it and Rudd was dumped after backing off his own plans.
There’s much more to say about this sludge. What is depressing is that it is taught as fact in our schools.
(Thanks to reader Mike, an appalled teacher.)"
======================
Ed. note: News from Australia about global warming in school textbooks is meaningful because of how the global warming movement has been structured. Which is outside the awareness of average citizens and through endless global groups and 'coalitions' often sponsored by the UN. It's important to the left to control information. Children are the easiest to control so the left took over textbooks. The BBC for example thinks textbooks in Texas are their business. As a global power, they're in a better position to influence Texas school books than Texans are. Most in the political class don't even think of us as a country. Someone like Jeb Bush for example thinks of us as "the western hemisphere."
