About Climate Change” Shows the Changing Landscape of Climate
Denial</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Producers of climate misinformation are
targeting kids and families, delivering an updated message that
acknowledges global warming, but minimizes the influence of human
emissions.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">By Keerti Gopal</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">July 31, 2023</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“It’s highly slanted with a clear ideological
message, and it’s very unreliable as a guide to climate change for
kids.”...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“There’s not enough truth mixed in with the
lies for me to even think that something like this should be
published,” Grimmett said...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“Of course we need to protect our home,” the
guide remarks on page four in an acknowledgement of environmental
responsibility that advocates for recycling and energy
conservation. But when it moves on to describing climate change,
it asserts that “the climate has always changed — long before
humans walked the earth — and it continues to change.” Such
rhetoric, a hallmark of many media campaigns that minimize the
severity of climate change, ignores the scientific consensus that
temperatures in the past century rose almost 10 times faster than
the average warming after ice ages during the past million years,
and that the increasing heat correlates with global carbon
emissions, which are higher than they’ve ever been in human
history. Warming during the next century is projected to progress
20 times faster than it did in the last two million years.<br>
</font>- -<br>
<font face="Calibri">The Kids Guide series is being marketed to
parents as an alternative to mainstream education, which
Huckabee’s ads claim will send their children into a false panic
about climate change. Branch said the guide ignores key scientific
advances and uses factual information in a misleading way—on one
page, it notes that China’s greenhouse gas emissions are 2.5 times
higher than the U.S., ignoring the fact that per capita emissions
in the U.S. are actually close to twice those in China, and that
the U.S. remains the largest historic emitter of climate warming
gasses. </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“They’re not just trying to create climate
skeptics,” Fisher said. “They’re actually eroding trust in science
and the scientific community.”..</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Huckabee’s guide acknowledges the warming
effects of CO2, but argues that its fluctuation is natural and
that the U.S., “thanks to capitalism, free thinkers and
investors,” has “helped turn the climate tide.”</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The U.S., which houses a little over 4 percent
of the world’s population, has contributed 20 percent of global
emissions since 1850.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">As book banning and partisan calls to censor
current and historic events from public school curriculums grow,
climate misinformation is only one piece of a broader
politicization of information in education. Grimmett, who returned
The Kids Guides to her coworker after looking through them at
home, said it makes her fearful for her son’s generation. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“So much of my heart and hope is hanging on the
kids,” Grimmett said. “These materials…will make that generation
be just as split as we are now.”</font><br>

Remember the 2008 Financial Crisis? Experts warn that the same
thing may be happening again, but this time, CLIMATE CHANGE is the
culprit. Increasing natural hazards, from wildfires and hurricanes
to rising sea levels and catastrophic flooding are threatening the
very foundation of our real estate system in huge swaths of the
country. State Farm, All State and Farmers Insurance all stopped
writing new policies in the entire state of California. And we're
seeing similar stories unravel in other states due to different
threats, like in Florida and Louisiana. Could the real estate
bubble be popping? Where else might be affected? <br>

Today we’re playing a game. A fun game. It’s called Quickfire
Climate Denial and it involves debunking some of the deniers'
favourite myths.<br>
It was such fun hanging out with Climate Adam IRL. And I reckon it
