5 Ways to Teach About Climate Change in Your Classroom
National Education Association ^ | March 14, 2017 | Mary Ellen Flannery

Posted on 03/15/2017 2:02:45 PM PDT by mdittmar

Here’s a fact: In 2016, Earth reached its highest temperature on record, trouncing the record set just a year earlier in 2015, which beat the previous record set in 2014. Our planet is warming, and its temperatures are fast heading toward levels that scientists believe will threaten humans and the natural world. Another fact: Educators need to help students learn about climate change, caused by human activity. But how do we do it in a way that engages and inspires them?

Wow. What a bunch of anti-science propaganda.

When will someone answer my simple question?

“What’s the temperature SUPPOSED to be?”

The Global Warming Hoax morphed into the Climate Change Hoax. This is propagated by the same crew that was warning of the dawn of an ice age 20-30 years ago. When there are reports of record cold or snow in Mid east countries, it’s all part of Global Warming, I’m sorry, Climate Change.

Here is another FACT:

In November 2009, an anonymous whistleblower put over 1000 emails comprising to and from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) on an obscure Russian website. They were subsequently rapidly disseminated around the world.

These emails show a tightly knit cabal of scientists adjusting temperature data to conform to their political agenda; exerting pressure to censor publications going into the “peer reviewed” literature (usually with complete success); bullying journalists with threats of excommunication so that what was published in the mainstream media was in accordance with the global warming agenda; and using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the primary vehicle for their political ambitions.

To work through these emails, in order to discover what was going on, is a major undertaking. John Costella has provided us with an edited and annotated account of the emails which enables the lay person, in a relatively short time, to understand what was going on and how it was done.

This PDF version of the published book will provide access to everyone who is concerned with this great debate. It is available here.

Just give them a copy of the Communist Manifesto. Today’s “climate change” policy is all about government control of industry, nothing more.

Sure:

1. Evil conservatives hate you and want you to die.

2. Evil conservatives hate you and your parents and want you all to die.

3. Evil conservatives hate you, your parents, and your pets and want them all to die.

4. Evil conservatives hate the entire world and want everyone to die.

5. Send your lunch money to the government and the NEA, who know how to spend it better than you do.

Pass out blank pieces of paper and tell the youts that this is a summary of all the ways mankind has changed the climate.

More facts:

A great many temperature stations are in urban, concrete areas.

The NEA promotes sodomy.

The NEA silences Republican and conservative members’ voices.

The NEA is anti-Christian.

The NEA’s major concerns do NOT include children or teaching.

Here’s a fact: In 2016, Earth reached its highest temperature on record

Here's another fact: we have approximately 200 years of temperature records compared to the 4.5 billion year age of the Earth. In essence, we know nothing.

No, that is a lie. Starting with a like is a sure way to go wrong.

Looks to me like an unsupported assertion. On what data, assumptions, and methodology is the statement that Earth reached its highest temperature on record in 2016?

Please cite the satellite data used for this claim. Only satellites provide complete global information on temperatures.

I suspect that satellite data was ignored or "adjusted."

How to teach children about climate change:

Teach them what a null hypothesis is. Then ask them if they can figure out what the null hypothesis of the global warming hoax is.

Government education is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.

Tape a thermometer to the stand of a globe. Shine a lamp on the the globe and measure the temperature. Now put a plastic bag over the globe, and inflate it. Measure the temperature inside the bag. Was there a difference?

From one of my children's eighth grade math books, fifteen years ago.

Who needs a sophisticated scientific model, when you can prove AGW using common household items? That's why I switched to compact fluorescents. The globe doesn't heat up nearly as much.

Demonstrable bull-pucky, starting from the very first sentence: “. . . In 2016, Earth reached its highest temperature on record, trouncing the record set just a year earlier in 2015 . . .” Now if you dig deep (and you have to dig deep, because nobody reports actual numbers) you’ll find that the NOAA global average temperature for 2016 was 0.01 degrees higher than what they reported for 2015. So apparently “trounced” is a verb the connotations of which are a mystery to the NEA.

Not only is that number scientifically meaningless in any practical sense given the experimental error expected in these measurements, but it’s almost certainly fudged, given that NOAA used temperature data from ocean freighter boiler intake tubes to “adjust” the data derived from buoys specifically-designed to obtain ocean-based temperatures.

But don’t expect the NEA to encourage anyone to teach the little snowflakes those details.

Who will win the fight between sharia and globalist? Will the globalist have a shocked look on their face right before sharia types behead them?

if one ever needed more evidence of the statist mentality of the public school model, well, here it is...absolute grovelling in the face of the central authority...
