At least “Burning Man” has an art component to it, “burning dolls”, not so much.
This is so stupid, so inane, so grade B movie “Plan 9 from Outer Space” level that all you can do is laugh at it. It is the latest effort from Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Project”. I suppose after this exercise in child brainwashing, anything goes. Watch:
From the YouTube Description:
The science girl takes a comedic look at the differences of climate vs weather. Created for the live broadcast of 24 Hours of Reality: The Dirty Weather Report.
Even more bizarre are the comments from the faithful on YouTube.

It is a well designed and artfully filmed ADVERTISEMENT for Al Gore’s message. Not even Al Gore’s acolytes would pretend it represents science of any sort. By all means criticise the message ( and I do!) but the medium is…. what it is.
People seem to be comparing it to the far more dishonest Al Gore “basic science” temperature experiment much ( and rightly so ) derided here.
Jaycurrie beat me to it, but indeed from the definition of IQ, half the population is below 100.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is young actress Yara Sayeh Shahidi. She doesn’t nornally wear glasses – just part of the act. She starred alongside Eddie Murphy in the film “Imagine That” back in 2009. In the film she played the part of a young girl that lives in a fantasy world – look’s like she’s becoming typecast…..

Pathetic and the best illustration of how low this man will stoop in some time.
To use children in this way is despicable in the extreme.

“Just thing about all the petrochemicals that were used for the plastic dolls, the paint, the sealant for the the aquarium tank, the energy used to process the silica and make the glass for it… for her glasses… which are probably actually polycarbonate. The industry that produced her clothings, the plastic in the Fresnel lens
Yeah, preach on you little brat”.
Much as I wish the young lady no harm, it would be ironic if in 20 years time she develops a lung condition that was traced back to breathing in toxic fumes in a confined space whilst performing her little well acted routine, she must have been rehearsing for weeks! She will go far I don’t doubt! I would also like to have had an opportunity to give her the third degree interrogation as to what she actually does know, & compare it to what she has spouted forth! Climate propaganda is the only political propaganda allowed in schools it would seem!
One word, Weak!
Where do these odnoxious brats come from? More pantomime than science.
It is surely no accident that the 12 year old chosen to illustrate the evils of carbon is (a) a girl and (b) “a person of color” ( to use that political correct description). Academy Award-Noble Peace Prizes winners leave nothing to chance. A girl melting dolls! How delightful. rdmill
This film is an insult to those who have recently lost their lives and had their homes and businesses wrecked by Sandy.
The girl coughs after burning the plastic dolls (or pretends to). Apart from the obvious fact that children should not play with fire, burning plastic dolls releases toxic fumes in the form of dioxins and furans which, if inhaled, may be harmful to human health eg. carcinogenic.
HADCRUT is out for October.
UAH,RSS + HADCRUT are down or unchanged, GISS is up. No surprise there then.

The shift of the mean temperature in Science Girl’s frequency distribution chart of summer temperatures is about 1.5 sd which in most temperate places would be more than 4º Celsius.

I find it objectionable that children are being brainwashed in school to this extent
If “green energy” is so good, then why didn’t she have any examples??
Pathetic. Good production values, but pathetic in content.
(personally, I was offended at seeing the doll suffering a wardrobe malfunction while being burned alive)
Wow !!
Great parody !!

It made me cringe. I felt badly for the girl and how she’s being used to promote propaganda. The parents should be ashamed. It comes from the same mindset the video “No Pressure” came from, albeit less gorey.
This piece was professionally produced for a specific purpose. I would like to know the producers and the actors and how much they were paid to promote the cause. Can someone do some research?
Is this what we are going to be seeing after Al gets finished indoctrinated the kids?
Dozens of cars and a few houses were all vandalized by shooters
It reminds me of PETA and the the Animal Liberation Front. Where Peta presents the ‘clean public image’ to sucker people in.
Indoctrinated young people can easily turn violent. History is littered with cases and you only have to look to the middle east today to see hatred indoctrination turning into violence today.
Or look at the USA.
This little video will doubtless end up in the curricula of thousands of elementary schools. Unlike “Plan 9” it is deliberately ‘cute’, aimed at youngsters. And it probably will be successful. The melting dolls is an image they won’t easily forget.
The girl is a pretty good actress, actually.

The climate crisis manifests itself as a social crisis, not weather.
The crisis consists entirely of how the climate obsessed feel empowered to lie, cheat, steal and abuse.
Let us not forget the infamous 10:10 video
Well that’s one use for Barbie and Ken once you’ve outgrown them! 10 year old girl science – yup that’s about the right level for Al Gore and his acolytes!

Burning plastic in a closed room – I wonder what could go wrong there?
