The New York Post's Andrea Peyser was a bit ticked off when her daughter came home singing a global warming song she had been taught in school, a song that not only treated global warming as a done-deal doctrine but which "scolded selfish adults (that would be us) for polluting our planet and causing a warming scourge that would, in no short order, kill all the polar bears and threaten the birds and bees."...The scandal began when someone hacked into the server at the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, England, and uncovered a cache of messages between leading warming gurus. These e-mails revealed guys deeply frustrated by planetary temperatures that, stubbornly, had refused to rise in some time. Were they afraid of losing their scientific juice? Or their funding?
So, as the e-mails prove, the scientists did something about it. They cooked the books to exaggerate global warming.
Of course! How can you scare the bejeezus out of little kids and small animals if you can't make the mercury move a millimeter? Simple. You lie...
It's a good article. Check it out here.
By the way, if you think this is an isolated instance, think again. A quick search of the net scored plenty of examples of kids being indoctrinated by children's books, library programs, school teachers, and kid's TV shows with the the pantheistic pap played by radical environmentalists. For instance, the illustration above comes from the children's book, Planet Earth Gets Well, written by Madeline Kaplan and illustrated by Taillefer Long. Here's what "green dad" George Spyros at treehugger.com had to say of it:
As a green dad, I’m always on the lookout for informative books that can help to make a better world for my children’s future. Ecolibris, who plants a tree for each book purchased, put together a nifty list of gifts for this past Fathers Day, but not since The Lorax by Dr. Seuss has a whimsically illustrated book come along aimed at sparking serious conversation with kids about the depleted environment they could inherit if each and every one of us don’t continue to act.
Planet Earth Gets Well synopsis:
Kaplan’s Planet Earth Gets Well is presented in a child-friendly format with full-color illustrations by Taillefer Long on every other page. The story revolves around Planet Earth feeling sick with the fever of global-warming, and its Mother Nature nurtures with insights about the human’s little Earth plays with. For wee Planet Earth to take better care of himself, he must not let we humans do whatever we please, but rather should encourage us to take better care of him.
The relationship between the health of the planet and the people that live on it is clearly demonstrated for young readers, promoting this awareness as part of their earliest understanding of the world in which they live. Just as today’s children are born into a high-tech society, they also inherit many serious environmental concerns. Planet Earth Gets Well promotes responsibility along with a positive message that parents will be able to pass onto their children at an early age in the effort to create an eco-friendly and proactive generation.
