Climate indoctrination begins at a very young age; “Arthur” is targeted at ages 4-8, “The Magic Schoolbus” is targeted at ages 3-10.
The Teen-Agers Fighting for Climate Justice
By Carolyn Kormann
July 22, 2018On Saturday, hundreds of teen-agers—loud, pensive, stubbornly determined—marched through Manhattan. They represented a movement that other teen-agers had started, last year, called Zero Hour. They were gravely concerned about politicians doing almost nothing for climate justice, and they had created a list of demands—including, most importantly, achieving negative carbon emissions by 2030.

Juhal and Hu are both rising seniors, at Bronx Science and Stuyvesant High School, respectively. Both want to study computer science after they graduate and remembered first learning about climate change in “Arthur” and “The Magic School Bus” cartoons. Their biggest concern is sea-level rise. “Especially because we’re both from Queens,” Johal said. “We live on an island. It’s really scary to think it won’t exist in the future.” (By the end of the next decade, sea-level rise around Queens could be greater than a foot.)

One of the speakers at the post-march rally was Leela Sotsky, who wore a bright-yellow-leather backpack and had long lavender nails. She called out one of her teachers at her high school in Fresh Meadows, Queens, where she will soon be a senior. “It was snowing in April, which is kind of odd,” she said. “He said it was evidence that global warming isn’t real. And I had to talk to him about it, explain that it was not evidence—that weather and climate are not the same.”

That’s why kids should be watching Speed Racer, Loony Tunes, and Pink Panther.
Original Johnny Quest and Woody Woodpecker are acceptable too.
Paid protesting for fun and profit

Sim city 2000 also has a lot to answer for. It convinced a generation that wind and solar were the best way to power a city.
The first iteration of Sim City, the nuclear power plants would randomly explode.
The problem is that so many junior high school students are being taught climate stuff that just is not true. It is propaganda and not science and the students are having to memorize it for tests. The reality is that based on the paleoclimate record and the work done with models, the climate change that we have been experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans over which mankind has no control. Despite the hype, there is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate and plenty of scientific rational to support the idea that the climate sensitivity of CO2 is zero. AGW is only a conjecture and it is based on only partial science. The AGW conjecture is based on a radiant greenhouse effect that has not been observed in a real greenhouse, on Earth, or anywhere else in the solar system. The radiant greenhouse effect is science fiction so hence the AGW conjecture is science fiction as well. If they want climate justice then they should sue the one responsible for climate change, Mother Nature. Lots of luck collecting on a judgement against Mother Nature.
Society sends the kids to school and asks the kids to pay attention and learn their lessons. There is no fault in these kids, it’s the education system that has been corrupted.
