What happens when children grow up believing the world is ending?
In this thought-provoking presentation to Heartland’s 16th International Conference on Climate Change, Anika Sweetland, a former climate believer describes how years of climate messaging leave her fearful, anxious, and convinced that humanity is headed toward disaster.
She argues that schools, universities, media outlets, and political institutions are teaching certainty where there should be debate and fear where there should be curiosity.
Her message is simple: science is supposed to encourage questions, not shut them down.
Warning, don’t type her name into an image search, unless you’re alone.
Counterpoint will bring you down.
I could have gone all day without seeing this.
Me, too!
Don’t get me started on ol’ Naomi. She will be in a world of credibility hurt when Federal investigators and/or the law firms defending the energy companies in the “ExxonKnew” lawsuits start digging into her fatally faulty accusations about ‘industry disinformation,’ along with her other assorted inconsistent narratives about her own personal role in the climate issue.
“Summary for Policymakers: Naomi Oreskes“
We can only hope. But it seems like most bald-faced liars in this arena just skate on by without paying any price. This could turn me into a cynic!
Nothing will happen to people like her, Mann, etc.
I’ve no idea which search engine you’re using but even with safe search off, I don’t get any images that I wouldn’t be happy for my family to see.
I use Duck Duck Go, and all it showed me was pron. No idea why. I use it all the time and don’t typically get results like that.
At first I thought “pron” was a typo. Then I did search for “pron”.
Maybe “pron” is what you meant to type!
I typed it on purpose, so my comment wouldn’t potentially get flagged. I knew it was an internet meme-typo, like pwned for owned.
On my computer looks normal, some profanity from her enemies: Reform climate ‘expert’ is a climate denier
Sex sells, always has and always will…regardless the opposite idiotologists want you to make believe.
Hey even Jehovas Whitnesses have begun to use “sexy bait”…mere observation.
Looks like we found a smart blonde.
Who? Where?
I had family who were diverse political radicals, with my fathers cousins Birchers, and some of my mother’s family being
Socialist Labor Party. Being preached at from an early age diverse radicalism gave me the tools to recognize really bad arguments.
The Greens came across as True Believers as much as the Birchers.
I knew of the John Birch society and guessed that’s who you meant by’Birchers’ – never met one that I know of. So I went to Google… Search of ‘Birchers’ got me nowhere until I specified ‘John Birch’, then got only a Wikipedia page that probably offends members of that society. Now as a test I’m going to Google ‘Socialist Labor Party’ and see what Google says. I’m trying to go into this open minded.
“The Socialist Labor Party (SLP) is the oldest socialist political party in the United States, founded in 1876. Originally emerging from the First International, the party historically championed “De Leonism”—a Marxist ideology that advocates for a classless society achieved through both socialist industrial unions and political action.”
Could have been “worse”. Google AI went with a just (some of) the facts answer.
There are not enough Rightwing Radicals in the U.S. to fill a football stadium. They are all fringe groups that Republicans and conservatives pay no attention to and are not affiliated with.
There are enough Leftwing Radicals in the U.S. to fill all the football stadiums and then some. And they are not fringe groups but mainstream Democrats.

When the Proud Boys came up …I was like wth is that
Because the left is always organized, because they have nothing else to do only to scream they want free stuff, while the ‘right’ consists of hard-working people with a family life who keep the country afloat.
When there is scentific consensus under false pretences, it causes dire consequences for fragile minds…
It’s criminal, considering the mental health consequences of essentially telling children they have no future because of CO2.
I sure wouldn’t want to be a kid today trying to make sense of all the insanity that passes for knowledge nowadays.
One can get to the truth but it is very difficult. More than most children can manage. Places like WUWT can help, but most kids are unaware of us.
It all depends on the parents. our son never fall for the propaganda in the ‘education’ system because from the beginning we showed him the big lei it is.
Other kids became Green Shirts and Climate Jugend.
The stupid thing is that here in spain now the teachers are protesting the socialist government they themselves voted into power because the work pressure in the multi diverse inclusive classrooms is no longer sustainable. Of course the true reason for the protest is never mentioned.
Very nice. Our government, our schools and our media have failed us. It is up to us to inform the tax payer and the rate payer how much they have been lied to and cheated.
That’s why the founding fathers saw a well educated People as a must to keep the country on the right track.
Of course for Big Government it is the complete opposite. They need people dependent on government. It has to create poverty forever.

It’s not just AGW they’ve been indoctrinated (correct word) with. LGBTQ, Socialism, race “theory”, hate for authority, and more is on the agenda. Not that there’s anything wrong with knowing about those areas but that’s not what we expect our children to be learning instead of the “three R’s” and if we want our children to learn about those things it’s the parent’s right to teach them …. not the education system. Today many high school graduates can barely read or do simple mathematics and that’s a far bigger problem than giving them questionable moral guidance.
Our “Leftwing education system” is undermining our nation by brainwashing one generation after another with Communist philosophy.
We are now reaping what the Leftists have sown.
Trump started something and he’s reverberating globally as the usual suspects got drunk with power and lack of accountability-
Albanese’s $27 plea to fight One Nation draws ridicule
What’s your values and where do they come from Westerners because the barbarians are within the walls
Sadly, the Misleadia will completely ignore this because er… climate crises… er… Heartland er… deniers
When school curriculums are designed by leftists, it’s a guarantee that any climate/environmental studies will have a one-sided slant. This is aimed to carefully suppress the benefits of fossil fuels while dishing out propaganda about adoption of simpler lifestyles to protect civilization from possible extinction. So it’s up to parents to take state and provincial education department to task if they’re not allowing examination of climate matters from all angles, not just an alarmist viewpoint.
