<font face="Calibri">GENEVA (AP) — Earth has sweltered through its
hottest Northern Hemisphere summer ever measured, with a record
warm August capping a season of brutal and deadly temperatures,
according to the World Meteorological Organization.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Last month was not only the hottest August
scientists ever recorded by far with modern equipment, it was also
the second hottest month measured, behind only July 2023, WMO and
the European climate service Copernicus announced Wednesday.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">August was about 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7
degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial averages. That is
the threshold that the world is trying not to pass, though
scientists are more concerned about rises in temperatures over
decades, not merely a blip over a month’s time...</font><br>

consecutive months, the WMO and Copernicus said.</font><br>

<font face="Calibri">“The dog days of summer are not just barking,
they are biting,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres said in a statement. “Climate breakdown has begun.”</font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Scientists blame ever warming human-caused
climate change from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas with
an extra push from a natural El Nino, which is a temporary warming
of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide.
Usually an El Nino, which started earlier this year, adds extra
heat to global temperatures but more so in its second year.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Climatologist Andrew Weaver said the numbers
announced by WMO and Copernicus come as no surprise, bemoaning how
governments have not appeared to take the issue of global warming
seriously enough. He expressed concern that the public will just
forget the issue when temperatures fall again.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“It’s time for global leaders to start telling
the truth,” said Weaver, a professor at the School of Earth and
Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria in Canada. “We will
not limit warming to 1.5 C; we will not limit warming to 2.0 C.

When Ty talked to Kurt Andersen back in 2020 upon the release of
his exceptional book Evil Geniuses, we never thought it would lead
to a sci-fi comedic series. Nevertheless, Andersen and Steven

Command Z, which is a hilarious adaptation that addresses not only
the major themes of Evil Geniuses but also explores how we might
all think about all types of political action in 2023.<br>
<br>
Kurt's back on the show this week to discuss why making Command Z
was a dream come true and what he wanted to explore with the
series that he couldn't with a nonfiction book. We also get his
thoughts on how the Inflation Reduction Act might be impacting our
view on the role of government and undoing some of the damage of
the Evil Geniuses he covered and what he thinks of the Federalist

<b>Mike Huckabee’s “Kids Guide to the Truth About Climate Change”
Shows the Changing Landscape of Climate Denial</b><br>
Producers of climate misinformation are targeting kids and
families, delivering an updated message that acknowledges global
warming, but minimizes the influence of human emissions.<br>
By Keerti Gopal<br>
July 31, 2023<br>
Beverly Grimmett thought the kids magazines she saw stacked on a
coworker’s desk this spring were perfectly innocent, until she
picked one up. <br>
<br>
“My stomach turned,” Grimmett said. <br>
<br>
The guides were decorated in bright colors and cheerful cartoons,
with titles like “The Kids Guide to Socialism,” “The Kids Guide to
Our One Nation Under God,” and, finally, “The Kids Guide to the
Truth About Climate Change.”<br>
<br>
Grimmett, who works in construction project management at a
six-person office in Norfolk, Virginia, had happened upon one of
former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s educational ventures, a series called
The Kids Guide from Ever Bright Media, the children’s publishing
company he founded. The company launched its children’s guide to
climate change this spring, and has spent thousands of dollars on
TV and social media advertising that prominently features Huckabee
himself. The guide argues that the climate crisis is not as dire
as mainstream media would have you believe, but it does not list
its authors or what their credentials might be. And though its
title claims to present the “truth,” science educators and climate
researchers have found the guide to be full of factual
inaccuracies. <br>
<br>
“It’s propaganda,” said Glenn Branch, deputy director of the
National Center for Science Education (NCSE), a nonprofit
organization dedicated to promoting fact-based science education,
including about evolution and climate change. “It’s highly slanted
with a clear ideological message, and it’s very unreliable as a
guide to climate change for kids.”<br>
As climate debates remain polarized and politicized, Huckabee’s
guide is part of a small but determined contingency of climate
disinformation materials marketed to children and families. It
also fits into a new niche in the broader landscape of climate
skepticism. In recent years, efforts to erode public confidence in
mainstream climate science—which have long been orchestrated by
the fossil fuel industry—have trended away from outright denial of
the climate crisis to a more nuanced narrative that doesn’t deny
that the planet is warming but instead suggests it’s been
overblown by scientists, politicians and mainstream media, and
advocates for continued use of fossil fuels.<br>
<br>
Climate skeptics’ arguments have been consistently debunked by
scientists, but misinformation from the oil and gas industry and
its proponents has continued to proliferate and seek out new
audiences. <br>
<br>
<b>A Misleading Guide</b><br>
Grimmett said her coworker bought the guides—including The Kids
Guide to the Truth About Climate Change—for his eight- and
11-year-old children. She borrowed them to show her own
12-year-old son, and was alarmed by what she understood to be
blatant misinformation.<br>
<br>
“There’s not enough truth mixed in with the lies for me to even
think that something like this should be published,” Grimmett
said. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
“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>
<br>
The guide has little sourcing of the information it presents—the
only citations offered are for graphics, and even these are often
as vague as a file name or organization title, making it difficult
for a reader to track down the original source. <br>
<br>
The visuals used in the guide are even more blatantly misleading
than its text, Branch noted. One graph, titled “Thousands of Years
of Carbon Dioxide Levels,” spans 400,000 years ago until “present
day,” and is summarized with the conclusion, “looking back in
time, carbon dioxide levels have always gone up and down.”<br>
But the data the graph labels as “present day”—peaking at a little
over 280 parts per million—actually represents levels from 2,300
years ago, around 391 BC, Branch pointed out. The vast majority of
the carbon dioxide driving climate change has been emitted only
since the Industrial Revolution, with atmospheric CO2
concentrations currently over 420 parts per million, higher than
any data point included on the graph, which has a scale that only
goes up to 300 parts per million.<br>
The guide’s rhetoric fits into recent trends in select media that
seek to minimize the severity of climate change and delay action,
accepting that the climate is warming, but downplaying the
magnitude of impacts and disputing human influence on the climate,
said Syracuse University Biology and Earth Science Professor Jason
R. Wiles.<br>
<br>
“What science is presented is cherry-picked and used to cast doubt
on what is actually a very robust and well-evidenced scientific
consensus,” Wiles said. “Apart from its being very misleading, my
main concern is that it fosters complacency by promoting the
notion that climate change is not as dire a problem as it truly
is.”<br>
Eroding Students’ Faith in Science</p>
<p> “You may have heard from your kids that the earth is soon going
to be an uninhabitable hellscape,” says Huckabee in one of The
Kids Guide’s ads, standing in front of what looks like a
greenscreen of a blazing forest fire. “That’s because some of
their teachers and the media have an agenda.”<br>
<br>
The advertisement goes on to describe how the guide will answer
kids questions about climate change “truthfully,” and sends
viewers to keepkidscool.com, where they can sign up for a “free”
gift bundle that includes the guide, with an advertised shipping
cost of only $1. Ever Bright Media, however, has faced frequent
customer complaints and accusations of hiding fees and charges,
obscuring terms and agreements and automatically enrolling people
into a magazine subscription program that costs $19.95 plus sales
tax every three to four weeks, plus a monthly magazine charge of
$7.95. <br>
<br>
Since Huckabee’s term as governor of Arkansas ended in 2007 he’s
had two failed bids for president but has mostly worked in media.
His talk show, Huckabee, ran on Fox News from 2008 to 2015 before
moving to Trinity Broadcast Network, a Christian outlet. <br>
<br>
Huckabee, who is an ordained Southern Baptist minister, founded
Ever Bright Media in 2009, and launched The Kids Guide in 2020.
The series has more than forty guides focused on history and
current events, plus a series on the Bible. According to data
gathered by Media Matters—a nonprofit research center that
monitors misinformation in U.S. media—the company spent $83,300 on
Facebook ads from January 1 to June 6, 2023 and has appeared
hundreds of times in ads on Fox News.<br>
<br>
In 2015, Huckabee jokingly compared climate change to “a sunburn.”
Last year, in a video on his TBN talk show’s YouTube channel, he
derisively belittled a doctor for citing climate change as a
factor in a heat related illness, despite scientific consensus
that increased frequency and severity of heat-related illnesses
and death are in fact tied to global warming. <br>
<br>
Allison Fisher, who reviewed the guide for Media Matters, said one
of the main dangers of materials that deny the severity of climate
change like Huckabee’s guide is that they deliberately undermine
children’s scientific education. Such materials also take away
crucial context for a generation that is already experiencing the
impacts of climate change, she added.<br>
<br>
“They’re not just trying to create climate skeptics,” Fisher said.
“They’re actually eroding trust in science and the scientific
community.”<br>
<br>
Branch said that the guide seems to be targeting a small but
receptive audience, so its impact may not be widespread. But for
some educators, Huckabee’s stamp of approval is a green flag.<br>
<br>
One Washington state educator, who asked to remain anonymous, uses
various Kids Guides with her middle school students, and said she
was initially interested in the guide because of Huckabee’s
involvement.<br>
<br>
“I consider myself middle class, and he comes across as a middle
class kind of person,” the educator said, adding that she felt
Huckabee seemed reliable based on past speeches. “If he would
recommend something, I would look into it.”<br>
<br>
When asked about the reliability of the guides’ sourcing, the
educator said she uses them with her students as a jumping off
point for research, not as a definitive source, and noted that her
students found them fun and engaging.<br>
<br>
“It doesn’t go into all the scary stuff,” she said. <br>
<br>
The main thesis of the climate change guide seems to be that
scientists and media are trying to create unnecessary panic, and
this rhetoric fits into a broader effort to introduce materials
denying the severity of climate change into American education.<br>
<br>
In 2017, the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank that
rejects the scientific consensus on climate change and the health
impacts of smoking, sent 350,000 copies of its publication, “Why
Scientists Disagree About Global Warming,” to teachers across the
country. The campaign had mixed results, as some teachers used the
materials to teach about the dangers of propaganda. This year,
Heartland sent out copies of a new publication called “Climate at
a Glance,” which the institute claims “provides the data to show
the earth is not experiencing a climate crisis,” to 8,000
teachers. Other groups, like the CO2 Coalition, a nonprofit
foundation that focuses on CO2’s benefits, and Prager University,
a conservative advocacy and media organization, have also targeted
children with materials questioning the existence or severity of
the climate crisis. <br>
<br>
Big Oil’s climate misinformation machine has been operating for
decades, despite the industry’s early awareness of the crisis. In
1965, American Petroleum Institute (API) President Frank Ikard
gave a speech directly acknowledging that burning fossil fuel
would cause climate change, saying “there is still time to save
the world’s peoples from the catastrophic consequence of
pollution, but time is running out.” In 1978, Exxon Mobil’s own
scientists published an internal report confirming that rising
carbon emissions would lead to global warming, and by 1980
industry giants were discussing the “globally catastrophic
effects” of temperature rise.<br>
<br>
Instead of pulling back operations, the oil industry outwardly
denied the science it had internally confirmed, continuing to
chase growth and profits and funding a widespread campaign of
disinformation that infiltrated government, research institutions,
media and schools. In 1998, as climate action drew global
attention with the Kyoto Protocol, the API wrote in a memo that
“unless ‘climate change’ becomes a non-issue, meaning that the
Kyoto Protocol is defeated and there are no further initiatives to
thwart the threat of climate change, there may be no moment when
we can declare victory for our efforts.”<br>
<br>
Today, Big Oil continues to pour billions of dollars into
anti-climate legislation, funnel high dollar donations to
candidates in both major parties and market pro-industry
curriculum to teachers in need. Huckabee is no exception: like
many candidates, his failed 2016 presidential campaign’s top
donors included oil and gas companies and private equity firms
that are heavily invested in fossil fuels. And the fossil fuel
industry’s misinformation machine has spawned a slew of
independent organizations and individuals driving their own
misinformation campaigns on the climate crisis.<br>
<br>
<b>Seeding Skepticism in Schools</b><br>
For the most part, Huckabee’s materials don’t seem to be targeting
schools, instead providing parents with alternatives to mainstream
education and doing outreach to homeschoolers. Still, in 2020, the
Arkansas Department of Education used emergency COVID funds to
strike a $260,000 deal with Ever Bright Media for “The Kids Guide
to Coronavirus,” one version of which reportedly quoted incorrect
information about the effectiveness of wearing masks to inhibit
transmission of the disease. The Arkansas DOE also purchased a
constitutional booklet from Ever Bright Media, according to their
communications department.<br>
<br>
Other aligned materials, however, are making it into public school
classrooms. Melissa Lau, an Oklahoma science educator with over
two decades of teaching experience, said she’s seen a general lack
of climate change-related materials in classrooms. The vast
majority of teachers in her state avoid the topic, she said.
Still, she added that under-resourced schools and teachers often
jump at free curriculum or equipment opportunities for lack of
better options, even when they come with unreliable or harmful
information.<br>
<br>
Lau, who is a teacher ambassador for NCSE, said many of her
colleagues receive free lab equipment and curriculum material from
the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board (OERB)—an oil and gas-funded
advocacy organization that offers teachers free educational
materials with pro-petroleum messaging and $50 stipends in
exchange for attending events. <br>
<br>
Like many of her students, Lau has family working in the oil and
gas industry, she said, so she understands that discussions around
the energy transition are often personal or delicate. But the fear
tactics around job losses that are central in some pro-industry
materials can obscure scientific fact, she said. <br>
<br>
“That’s the hard part about disinformation,” Lau said. “Unless
you’re just attuned to it, it’s difficult to identify cherry
picking of data.”<br>
<br>
At a moment when children as young as five are suing their
governments for inaction on climate change, it seems like
materials denying the severity of global warming would face an
uphill battle. But information provided in educational contexts
can still have significant influence, according to researchers.<br>
<br>
In California’s Bay Area, a 2021 study by North Carolina State
University Professor K.C. Busch found that students who read texts
that framed the climate crisis with uncertainty reported lower
levels of certainty themselves, regardless of how much prior
knowledge they had around climate change.<br>
<br>
Even the best science textbooks lag behind current research,
though Busch said the textbooks she encountered about climate
change—even in the liberal Bay Area—went beyond being out of date
and were genuinely inaccurate. <br>
<br>
De-briefing with the students who participated in her study, Busch
found that students hadn’t considered the possibility that their
textbooks might not be entirely accurate.<br>
<br>
Busch said this makes it even more important not only to ensure
accurate information in textbooks, but also to teach students
critical thinking and how to evaluate the credibility of sources
themselves.<br>
<br>
“It kind of blew their minds that the textbook from their [class]
might not be accurate,” Busch said. <br>
<br>
Lau is working to address the problem of scientific literacy
within her own district, running a workshop with other high school
science teachers on how to determine if instructional materials
are high-quality enough to use in the classroom.<br>
<br>
<b>Reaching Children and Families</b><br>
Barbara Denson, a civil engineer who writes under the name B.B.
Denson, has written two children’s books that advocate for the
continued burning of fossil fuels and pushes a message she calls
“climate defiant.” Denson doesn’t deny that climate change is
happening, but she said she does not believe that human influence
is a primary driver of these changes.<br>
<br>
Denson worked in the oil and gas industry before becoming an
advocate for clean energy. Now, she advocates against renewable
energy. One turning point was listening to a presentation by
Patrick Moore, director of the CO2 Coalition—a nonprofit
organization that argues for the importance of carbon dioxide,
Denson said. Moore, who was an early leader with Greenpeace, left
the environmental advocacy organization in 1986 due to political
disagreements and has since consulted in the timber, mining and
nuclear industries, among others.<br>
<br>
Denson decided to write children’s books because she felt her
message needed to be simplified to a level that a child could
understand, and she didn’t see anyone doing that. She said she
doesn’t expect children reading her books to form opinions about
climate change, but instead hopes to influence families. <br>
“99.99% of what everybody hears is the other side of the story, so
there’s only a handful of us scientists that are kind of digging
in our heels,” the engineer said. She added that she believes
mainstream climate science is only a theory rather than documented
fact.<br>
<br>
“The fact that we are releasing carbon dioxide and making plants
healthier is a really good thing,” Denson said.<br>
<br>
One of Denson’s books, called “Carbon Comes Out of the Closet,”
follows Gary the Go-Cart, an anthropomorphic car that drives
around while learning about carbon dioxide. First, Gary is
bombarded with messaging that calls for sequestration and taxation
of CO2, and he tries to sequester his own emissions. Later in the
story he comes across a tree of apples that tell him they need
more carbon—meaning CO2—to grow bigger, so Gary decides to “spray”
carbon into the air and onto the ground around the trees and other
plants. <br>
<br>
“The plants were all much healthier,” the text reads. “With carbon
in the atmosphere, everybody wins.”<br>
<br>
This is an argument often used by the CO2 Coalition, one of
Denson’s main influences, whose founders previously worked in the
research laboratories of Exxon and Shell.<br>
<br>
“It’s one of those grains of scientific truth opening up an
avalanche of misinformation,” Wiles said, explaining that carbon
dioxide emissions from human activities have reached a rate that’s
far greater than our forests and plant communities can sequester,
while deforestation and biodiversity loss only add to that
discrepancy.<br>
<br>
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.”<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
“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.”<br>
<br>
Mike Huckabee’s office and Ever Bright Media did not respond to
multiple requests for comment.<br>
