As if scaring children wasn’t bad enough.
The climate change course for people with learning disabilities
Louise Cullen Agriculture and environment correspondent, BBC News NI
…
The brothers both have special needs and live in supported accommodation.
They have completed a climate change training course for people with learning disabilities – thought to be the first of its kind in the UK.
…
Hanna Coney works with the brothers in their Sperrins Supported Living Services.
…
She thought the training would help build the brothers’ confidence and independence, but was surprised by just how much they got involved.
“The conversation of climate change can be quite a frightening topic, but I suppose for us as support workers, it’s to make sure that we’re not fear mongering the people we support.
“And they’ve really taken off with it.”
The training will be rolled out to other support services in 2026.
…
“They get excluded from all sorts of issues facing all citizens.
…
“So it’s been incredibly empowering.”

I’m horrified. I’ve known people who are that disabled, if they ask about climate change, the right answer is “Some scientists are worried there is too much pollution. But this is not something which will affect you.”.
People that disabled shouldn’t be given picture cards which tell them to throw their food onto the compost heap, or stop eating meat, because that is what some of them will do – they’ll throw ALL their food on the compost heap, or refuse to eat ANY meat. Making intellectually impaired people feel guilty can have terrible consequences, because having a sense of proportion requires having the intellectual capacity to understand the issues.
The risk of convincing intellectually challenged people to do things which might lead to harm should rule out this kind of indoctrination, regardless of how “empowering” it is.
It is those on the LEFT who have the learning disabilities, they need to unlearn CAGW.
What comes around goes around.
This morning on BBC Radio 4 News they announced the discovery of a deep ocean mountain range in the Caribbean – “seemingly untouched by climate change.
They are funny
scientists on the first expedition beyond the islands’ shallows have discovered an underwater mountain range, a massive “blue hole”, coral reefs apparently untouched by climate change
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgmllk32g72o
And that “mountain range” was unknown? Impossible. For sure the American navy knew about it. Maybe it wasn’t intensely studied but its existence was not unknown.
A source would be useful. Have you got one?
No, but it’s the Caribbean- close to the coast of America- it’s seems reasonable that it must be well mapped. If that article said “a ridge” that would be one thing- but a mountain range?
Typical of the BBC, they probably mean unexplored
When I was a small child in the late 50s, when visiting my grandparents- they had one of those ancient wood radios that was about 4′ tall. I’d turn it on and the BBC would come up. A man with a deep voice would speak like God. You just had to believe him. I never forget that. I bet back then when the BBC said something- they were more careful with their wording.
I could get snarky, and state a learning difficulty helps in accepting scary climate change, but that is as cruel as it was exploring Greta Thunberg’s autism.
Michael Mann with hair.
It’s the BBC…which treats EVERYONE as if they have learning difficulties…
To inform, educate and entertain.To patronise, indoctrinate and bore
The agenda is oppression of the people.
Remote viewers at the CIA are trying to control the course of events on Earth.

When “inclusive” initiatives are concerned with sharing equally the terror of an imminent climate apocalypse, even among populations who should precisely be protected from media excesses and hysteria. Now some of these people, in addition to having an intellectual disability (which does not necessarily prevent them from living a happy life), will live frightened and outraged by the evil “planet destroyers.”
It all depends on how it’s done, and perhaps vulnerable people won’t be terrorized with images of hell on Earth (even though this has already been done to children for years, with the results we know), but all this kind of thing should simply be spared to people with intellectual disabilities.
Simply recommending that food be put on the compost can lead to awkward and potentially dangerous situations, and the same applies to other suggestions that require a real sense of moderation.
I’m not the least bit naïve, and perhaps I even have a somewhat twisted mind, but I find it rather disgusting to put this kind of simplistic “apocalypticism” into the heads of people with intellectual disabilities. If overly extreme messages are conveyed (everyone will die, incinerated on Earth like in a frying pan because of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming), try talking to them about paleoclimatology, logarithmic saturation, or the many biases of the IPCC and the unjustified nature of media alarmism.
Alarmists love to brandish the sacrosanct Brandolini’s law with disdain in order to try to silence skeptics without making much effort. But that very law applies in this direction as well: doing harm is very easy, and even with the best intentions in the world, once a simplistic message has been conveyed to vulnerable people, it becomes very, very, very difficult to repair the damage.
There’s a good chance they won’t listen to you if you try to reassure them with rational arguments, if frightening images and end-of-the-world clichés have been put into their heads.
Ultimately, it’s the people around them who may end up launching themselves into environmentalist crusades in the style of Extinction Rebellion, because the frightened look of the person they care for will have made them feel horribly guilty.
I have a deeply ingrained streak of pessimism, I know.

Britain has just two days of gas as Middle East flow runs dry
Shrinking reserves could spark potential crisis with UK now paying highest wholesale price in Europe

Looks like America is going to be one of the few places on the planet with abundant, cheap energy! 🙂
As the Lord Percy (Blackadder) would say: a gloater.
Enjoy the moment, Joseph.
The UK could have been spared had it had better energy policies. But no, the govt foolishly chased after Net Zero, to the detriment of its citizens
More than a moment- much more.
Don’t worry Srat. Mad Ed is already sending out the minions to say the rise in gas prices proves how important it is for the country to keep building wind and solar. Nothing will stop the idiot!
Britain Gas production and import:
Domestic production (43%) roughly matches imports from Norway (43%), with the remainder (14%) supplied by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
“See? Climate Change is so easy that kids, and the mentally handicapped can understand it!”
OR they are the only ones who will believe it 🙂
Well, Lucy, that ’bout ‘splains it; now we know why Nick and what’s his name username are like they are.
It is God’s punishment that children have learning disabilities.
God punishes humans with harmful energy in their houses. When the punished humans become parents, their children will have learning disabilities because of the harmful energies in their houses.
Humans must behave so God doesn’t punish them.
There are humans who can sense and communicate with souls.
Humans who can communicate with souls know the truth.
The earth is inhabited by spirits and souls. These souls create geopathic stress energy in the houses that are being punished.
Some mistakenly believe that geopathic stress energy comes from the underworld and describe the harmful energy as follows:
Geopathic stress zones are the areas where the earth’s natural energy fields get disrupted. Such a disruption can lead to an adverse impact on human health. If you don’t pay much attention and let yourself be exposed to these zones for long, it can lead to long-term health issues.
Earth is known to resonate at a certain energy at 7.83 MHz called the Schumann Resonance. This frequency is known as the healing/peaceful frequency. However, there are many activities, mostly human, that can disrupt this frequency.
Oh wow, what a profoundly enlightened take.
So God’s running some kind of cosmic home owners association now, zapping houses with ‘harmful energy’ like a divine HOA fine, and then punishing the kids instead of the adults because… reasons?
Truly elegant theology.
Nothing says ‘loving omnipotent creator’ like giving innocent children permanent neurological struggles as collective punishment for their parents’ supposed moral crimes.
Maybe take your medieval blame-the-victim fanfiction somewhere else – preferably far away from actual parents and children who are already dealing with enough real hardship without your smug, evidence-free finger-wagging.
Disgusting.
I speak as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy and a brother, now diseased, who had severe learning difficulties, both of whom have a superior outlook on life than your twisted views
Feng Shui practitioners are familiar with the black stream energies.

Divorce houses contain harmful negative energies. This is the reason why some residential areas become divorce areas while other roads are full of homes that rarely come onto the market.

ADHD is on the rise in the US. Over 11% of children in the US are diagnosed with ADHD and no one knows why. ADHD is significantly lower among Feng Shui practitioners.

21% of 14 year old boys in the US are diagnosed with ADHD. Doctors treat these boys with the drugs ritalin and adderall. The medication makes them like walking zombies. They start seeing humans as things instead of humans and stop greeting the humans they meet.

Studies on Schumann Resonances show humans can’t survive without this frequency.
NASA uses a Schumann wave generator on spacecraft to enable astronauts to live in space.
SR=Schumann Resonances
Existing evidence shows that low-frequency SRs decrease the risk of developing acute myocardial infarction, and there is a tendency for them to promote cases of chronic kidney disease. SRs are an important external natural factor influencing the human body, coordinating metabolic processes and the functional activity of its cells. It is necessary to take into account the importance of their physiological influence, as well as the possibility of the activation of pathogenetic mechanisms of NCDs.

Once NASA identified the problem, the solution followed naturally. If astronauts were suffering from Schumann resonance deprivation, provide it artificially. Engineers developed compact frequency generators capable of producing 7.83 Hz electromagnetic fields within spacecraft and space stations. These devices didn’t need to be powerful. The natural Schumann resonance is extremely weak, less than one picotesla. Biological systems, it turned out, respond to frequency and waveform pattern more than raw amplitude.
The results validated the hypothesis. Astronauts exposed to artificial Schumann resonance generators showed improved sleep patterns, better circadian rhythm stability, and enhanced overall wellbeing compared to missions without this technology. While spaceflight still involved numerous health challenges, this particular variable had been addressed. The technology became standard equipment, quietly operating in the background of every long-duration mission.

Researcher Baron Gustaf Freiherr von Pohl developed the 0–16 scale to measure the intensity of geopathic stress (GS).
The scale runs from 0 to 16, with 0 representing a neutral, healthy zone (approx. 7.83Hz) and 16 indicating a highly stressed zone.
Geopathic stress is a distorted or disrupted electromagnetic field of the Earth (Schumann Resonance / Waves).
How long have you people known about geopathic stress?
It looks like, our ancestors, in most cultures knew about geopathic stress or geopathic zones. In feng shui, Chinese called geopathic stress many names such as ‘claws of the dragon’ or ‘dragon lines’ or ‘underground demons’.
Van Pohl developed a scale of 0-16 where zero is 7.83Hz neutral, healthy zone and 16 is a highly geopathically stressed zone (going up to 250Hz). Any area above zero can create a greater susceptibility to viruses, bacteria, parasites, environmental pollution, degenerative diseases and a wide range of health problems because our immune system is compromised in the geopathically stressed zones.

Nothing surprising here, we are up against really bad people.
Salute and bury the Hippocratic oath.
Some civilized countries have laws against child abuse, elder abuse, and abuse of the disabled.
It seems apparently not in the UK. This is disgusting.
