Climate science lost in the classroom

Climate scientist Dr. David Legates reports at CFACT.org that too often propaganda substitutes for science in climate education.

"Students are increasingly being fed climate change advocacy as a surrogate for becoming climate science literate," Legates writes. "This makes them easy targets for the climate alarmism that pervades America today."

Legates appeared on a panel in April during the Capitol Hill premiere of CFACT's new film Climate Hustle – which is now available for pre-order on DVD and Blu-ray.

Legates asks, "How can students understand and put into perspective their influence on the Earth’s climate if they don’t understand the myriad of processes that affect our climate? If they don’t understand the complexity of climate itself? If they are told only human aspects matter? And if they don’t understand these processes, how can they possibly comprehend how climate influences them and society in general?"

Enlisting the young in support of an ideology is a tired old trick. Today's young people deserve a genuine scientific education. A generation of open-minded, well-informed, inquiring minds would spell doom for the climate campaign.

That campaigners would rather teach advocacy in place of science is not a surprise. That they get away with it is a scandal. For nature and people too.
