Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t Dr. Willie Soon, The Gateway Pundit; Be very careful what your kids watch. The first few minutes of the following educational children’s video seems harmless enough. But then it slowly morphs into radical green propaganda for children, inferring climate entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Elon Musk are as important as superheroes, the benefits of green communism, and how wonderful it would be for all the cute animals if humans disappeared (though they would miss the free food).
If you want to skip forward after watching the first few seconds, Bill Gates appears at 3.29, Elon Musk at 4:49. “What if humans disappeared?” 8:49. Solar panels 9:55, 11:07 Psychic powers, 14:27 Green Communism. Barf bag recommended.
The YouTube channel about page claims We try our level best to create highly creative and refreshing videos of Science. AumSum seems to be a very popular children’s educational channel, YouTube states all the videos on the channel have been viewed a total of 596,149,611 times since the channel was created in 2014. There is more information about the channel on a fan site.
Why watch such a video in its entirety? Because if you only watched the first few minutes, you would have no idea how polarised the rest of the video is. Going by the channel views, millions of parents trust AumSum, they sit their kids down in front of an AumSum every week, likely thinking the kids are watching harmless, thought provoking educational cartoons.
The main takeaway for me – always watch children’s educational videos right to the end, before you expose your kids to them, or sit down and watch with your kids with your finger poised over the pause button. Because otherwise you have no idea what kind of ideas the the educational videos your kids are watching might attempt to plant in their impressionable little minds.
Good god!
“How far the termites have spread and how well they have dined” (christopher hitchens)
And how much more CO2 and CH4 they are emitting 🙂
Anyone who truly feels things would be better “If Humans Disappeared” owe it to that very same society to ensure that THEY Disappear THEMSELVES
Strangely they never disappear themselves and almost always have a few children.
Actually their fertility rates are below average.

This shows how desperate the Left is getting. The earth is not burning up and the public is getting wiser. This stupid video is just another attempt to scare people with climate alarmism as they did before … https://newtube.app/user/RAOB/I97sm2D
Yep, no climate crisis, but a definite climate alarmism crisis.
…. and with respect, a correction, that would be the phony-Left.
What if Elon and Bill disappeared?
Dire things according to the video.
Society WOULD be better off…
IT’S TRUE
If all the AGW apostles and hangers-on disappeared, the world would be much better place.
People could go on with their lives without being badgered left, left and left by anti-CO2, anti-life blathering.
The video is nonsensical in that regard — as though all their wealth would disappear with them. Sorry, no. All their wealth would continue to exist, their foundations would continue to exist, their publicly-held companies would continue to exist. Ridiculous.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is woke on steroids compared with that.
It should help Musk maintain his position at the top of the pile. It appears he is ranked above Superman in the pecking order of super heroes.
I’ll trade a Couple of Koalas and a Wombat for Bill Gates and Elon Musk and throw in a Numbat for Good Will.
Bad deal
I wish posts, comments, movies, tweets and whatever else had an IQ rating and that there were an IQ filter that would filter out whatever had a lower IQ than a value you can set. I would save quite a few minutes in my day.
That is no longer a problem for me – I now go straight to an oracle.
You already have fact checks. They’re called fact checks, so they must be true.
Here’s how this would go:
Any post about Biden being an absolutely fabulous human being with the utmost integrity and blah blah blah …… 100
Any post about normal Americans wanting prosperity, kids and even a lawn ….. 0 for those deplorable, white supremacist trash, climate-denying Trumpsters
Still think your idea would work ?
At least all the Dumbocrats involved in the Impeachment Trial had their arguments Trumped
Problem is GOOGLE would be setting the ratings system and then all “Einstein Level Videos” would be Three’s Company
More fine work.
From Gang Green.
The social equivalent of gaseous gangrene working on your body.
It takes a rather amazing type of person to produce this kind of tripe.
When do we start banishing them from productive society?
Gang Green-brilliant!
That’s been around for a couple of decades.
Very true Jeff,but it perfectly describes my revulsion for these virtue signalling scum,who prey on children.(And those as gullible as children)
And as noted above,there are still quite a few who have not made the connection.
Mockery is important.
Especially when there lies a huge kernel of truth within.
Water Melon’s ,while true,denigrates a fine food.
Gang Green has no friends.
Wasn’t aiming that at you, John, but at Bsl for being late to the party.
The most recent video published yesterday, Bill Gates shows up at the same time slot.
At 1:24, “What if Donald Trump disappeared”.

I wonder if he is part funding some of the videos?
yeah I wondered too
list billygates as 3rd richest eeyore at 2nd and ???missed 1 entirely
Here is an interesting video from WION in India. The government has arrested a climate activist who was distributing a “toolkit” put out by lovely Greta. The Indian government has taken a very dim view of Greta and any who support the green madness. … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6WP0zIs1nA&list=UU_gUM8rL-Lrg6O3adPW9K1g&index=9
In the pursuit of secular pleasures, with the normalization of “planning” and other wicked solutions, it could happen. Forward!
This just proves how diseased the minds of the Left have become. Sowing the seeds of self hate is NOT educational. It’s child abuse, leading to early high rates of child suicide, despair and drug usage not to mention gender dysphoria (because connected with such indoctrination is the idea that male privilege has caused “climate change”)
. .
Some lame corp in India is just feeding Americans what they think Americans will accept as childrens edutainment.
I understand that the video is nonsense, but… There are far worse things out there that can influence a child or adult. The media, the teacher, friends and authority play a big part in peoples lives and you have little influence in changing that. Actually, you can change things for your child by chaining them in a closet for a number of years. From what I’ve heard that is not a good thing. Just be grateful they don’t grow up to be a prostitute, gangsta, drug addict or some gender fluid entity. If you can’t short-circuit some of the stuff they are exposed to then you’re an idiot that should have kept your privates private.
It has certainly been known since the Greeks, particularly Athens, the art of indoctrinating young children, but it was perfected to a science by Ignatius Loyola in the 1530s when he founded the Jesuit Order (a teaching order).
‘ Give me a child till he is seven years old,’ said St Ignatius Loyola, ‘ and I will show you the man. ‘
In the 16th century Loyola had few visual and teaching aids but managed to reprogram his charges away from their parental training with comparative ease. Think what he could have done with films, cartoons and nearly non stop control from infancy and children with only limited contact with often only one parent (and sadly, even more often the more accommodating female parent). I agree with your assessment that only hands on parenting probably with both a father and a mother could offset such well planned indoctrination. However such couples are few and far between … many probably believing this film is great.
It is a mistake to think people like Loyola had no mass media. I remember as a child we could make one dirty cartoon, or reams of jokes, from a waxpaper copy printer (lithographs?) circulate the entire neighbourhood in two days, …and everyone remembered every detail. Loyola had woodcuts and town criers and priests repeating words and normalising ideas from the hights of divine appointment. And nobody threw away anything as important as a printed page in 1980, just think how they looked after hand-written copies in the year 1180! Loyola and co sure had mass media, believe me.
Even the Protocols of Zion explicitly describes the use of mass media as a tool to disseminate Bolshevik propaganda as Truth.
As for hands-on parenting? You white supremacist fascist gender-denying neo-Nazi scum throwback from the patriarchy, you! Next you gonna promote the female-hating habit of forming nuclear families! The State shall raise any children you get a licence for conceiving…
Aw shucks … you’ve found me out.
Note: … I think it was ‘mimeograph’ copying you were looking for. Lithography was making copies from drawings made on limestone, invented by Alois Senefelder in the 1790s.
Mimeograph, right! English is not my first language, but I speak Bolshevik fluently…
Surely this is grounds for child abuse
“The planet was perfect, until humans appeared”, David Attenborough’The Perfect Planet’, BBC.
BBC running a series of adverts for their own series’ on the environment reflecting the “science”.
Final Solution to the climate crisis?
What a surprise! (not)
Childish. Very childish. This is the kind of discussion you have with teenagers who dont understand how the world works.
Repetition is the key. It will help little to watch one or two videos with your kids and a pause button. Every movie, every news report, every advertisement, every fashion page, every toy comes with a reminder that we humans are worthless consumers of scarce resources.
People think magic does not exist, while the satanic incantations roll over them in a never-ending stream. Then we wonder why our sons have become afraid of their own totties, and our pre-teen daughters practice pole dancing and strip teasing, swinging their cute little baby-fat asses to the beat of the latest pop song glorifying prostitution as a “viable career choice”.
For a fee, an Inyanga in Africa will put a death-curse on anyone you wish, and it very often works, even on “civilised” folk. There is one rule, though: If the target does not know about the curse, it does not work. Our children are being told how cursed they are, over and over and over…
What if human disappeared- indoor animals would mostly die, domesticated animals would run wild – cats and dogs would annihihlate all small mammals, sheep, goats would ravage undergrowth in temperate areas, pests would go crazy more malaria, more weeds… the climate would mostly doing what it does.
Dogs would take out sheep and goats as well.
My first thought was “Gee! I and my sister used to play games like that before we started at school”.
Then, as it went on and on, I thought “How boring!”
In the end, once the whole thing was over, I thought I can imagine the kids latching on to the idea of “What if [fill inis space] disappeared?” and get carried away in the succeeding smart suggestions.
I thought I could make much more convincing childish propaganda.
Its obviously aimed at those with tiny, malleable, gullible, unformed and uninformed, minds
I’m sure griff, loy, simple, et al would just lap it up.
it started repeating at around 12mins?
entire thing is trash anyway
What if garbage like this “climate” video disappeared? Propaganda aside, honestly, I can’t believe parents allow their children, let alone encourage them to watch this drivel.
Many parents use the electronic babysitter (pick a device, any device….) with no idea of what their little darlings are being exposed to. They are far too busy chasing the holy dollar and keeping up with the Joneses. Maintaining their lifestyle is too important to allow children to interfere, they only exist to be used as fashion accessories.
Sigh. Yet another example of how out of touch this website is. Why? Oh, because in the last 10-20 years cable TV has produced whole series of this “after humans” content and at the time they were popular. More are in the works, so what this site is saying is that it’s been completely out of touch with modern culture for more than 10 years. I knew there was a reason I’ve asked others to remove this from their blogroll or aggregator. And some have, and more will.
Sorry but when you’re this out of touch you have no place in the conversation. You’re a stumbling block that we keep having to remember is there otherwise it really screws us up with its dumbness.
Please, go dark. Catch up. Then join us, the spectators, because that’s where you belong. Not in the spotlight, but here among real people– the average, normal people who have at least some clue what’s been going on over the last decade.
You live up to your backwards name.
The difference between the “after humans” series and this propaganda, is the the former doesn’t paint humans as an evil blight on the planet, and make children feel guilty for being alive. At least not the ones I watched.
You’re not much of a spectator.
Don’t worry kiddies if Batman is disappeared as I’m sure the usual suspects can resurrect Farfour Mouse and the exploding schoolkiddies if you’re not in sync with his message and the faith of the true believers.
Aum Sum, go ahead cover the Sahara Desert with solar panels if you think it makes sense to produce panels that produces power where no one needs it and will soon get broken and the project exceeds the relevant total worldwide resource production. You should be easily be selling such a project to private investors.
Will there be a screening at Parkland High?
Many of the animated children’s movies are activist green propaganda.
Animals are depicted as equal or better than humans in intellect, wisdom and emotions.
Several films make anthropomorphic stars out of animals key to supplying meats to humans, e.g. Ferdinand – beef and steers, maliciously portraying bull fights.
Charlotte’s Web, anthropomorphically shows farm animals as equal/better than humans.
It doesn’t matter that while a few of these movies were popular hits, many were abysmal failures. They still regularly end up on TV.
STIV and Avatar listed as kids movies?
Avatar is just ferngully with better graphics, so, yes, it rates as a kids movie.
Global warming causes cartoon character’s eyes to become huge?
Well, it would certainly be a cure for systemic racism.
There are upsides to communism, at least as they’ve portrayed it: Funny how they show people “with real passion” leaving their boring jobs becoming singers, musicians, and artists.
Without money, people would have to barter, like for food. I don’t see world with a glut of “people following their passion” being able to barter for a lot of food.
The upside is that our current oversupply of social justice warriors would be lost to starvation almost immediately.
I wonder where they think they’ll find people “with real passion” for cleaning clogged toilets, picking up trash, pumping septic tanks, etc.
There used to be a show, can’t remember which channel, that explored the idea of a world without humans. “Life After People”. My biggest takeaway from that show was: Nature wins.
Psychic: “surveillance will go down the drain”.
They seem to miss the fact the cops and FBI will be psychic too.
This is not “worrying” it’s just mindless drivel.
The Brothers Grimm are back as climate communication consultants.
and who is behind it all…let’s take a look shall we?

Well, there’s 15 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. What a complete and utter waste of bits.
