Much of what was available for public consumption at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancún could easily be dismissed as nonsensical or bizarre. The "Climate Change Village" exhibit was so full of patently ridiculous ideas that it seemed more likely that The Onion was sponsoring the event rather than an international organization that we're supposed to take seriously when it comes to matters of science. The only remotely believable thing in the entire exhibit was the fact that the "House of the Future" didn't have any human beings in it, which seems to be the real end game here. (The "House of the Future" was also stocked with products from the Village's corporate sponsors, whose goods are apparently granted "eco-friendly" status upon the writing of a large check.)
One of the more perplexing exhibits was a geodesic dome that featured a dirt floor covered in palm fronds, several flat screen TVs and a steady pulsing of some of the worst techno music ever heard. Even the more uncritical among the visitors were shaking their heads upon exiting this glimpse into an eco nut's drug hallucination.
While most of the public exhibits were fairly laughable, there was one very disturbing aspect that had some of us more skeptical types buzzing for a couple of days: the concerted effort to indoctrinate school children with the gospel of climate change.

This is in Quintana Roo. Little school kids from outside the urban area of Cancun live in palm-thatched mud huts with dirt floors, and sleep in hammocks that grandma made. No electricity, no running water, no sewer system. I wonder how they process this “information” about global warming.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Another reason to homeschool?
That’s their point; get the kids early indoctrinated into the leftist, commie mentality - and you’ve got it accomplished. They know it’s too late for us old Constitutionalists; but our generation has allowed the “one worlders” to take over everywhere. (While we were busy working and “minding our own business”, they were busy demonstrating, smoking pot, and getting their degrees in environmental “studies”.) Voila! Obama! Bill Ayers! Al Gore!
Ya know, at some point, the zealot becomes the satire of himself, unwittingly. The vision of palm-covered geodesic domes with dirt floors with flat screens and bad techno-music would probably convey the message about as well as most forms of criticism. Oh, so long as we included the altar for worshipping the god Ixtel.
At the time they reach the age of majority, they will be willing and ready to sign the voluntary sterilization papers.
Heh, I forgot all about this silly conference.
Did they have it already? Is it over?
The UN is nothing but a stage for fools and idiots, a freak show that schemes to bring everything down to its level. Our bankers and politicians are going to accommodate the kooks. Get used to the idea of no electricity, transportation, running water, fuel for heating and cooking. Forget the pounding techno music and flat screen TVs. There will be entertainment enough watching people bang their heads against the crumbling walls.
anybody have the link to wkileaks and state dept cables on climate change
That is a terrific report, well written. Thanks for posting here.
I raised my kids to be skeptical. We used to sit around watching TV and picking apart commercials and laughing. “Look! If I drink a can of Mountain Dew I’ll instantly find myself dancing on the beach with a bunch of bikini-clad girls!” Stuff like that. We would quickly analyze how ads were trying to sell us things.
I also made it a point to regularly debrief my kids about what they were hearing from teachers at school. Often, when it was clear a teacher was a lefty scumbag, I would tell my kids in a feigned aura of confidentiality, “Hey.. Just put down on your tests and your papers exactly what you think that simpleton teacher wants to see. You and I know it’s a bunch of lying garbage but who cares? What’s the goal? That’s right - - just get an ‘A’!”
The point is, parents need to take responsibility for addressing the relentless lefty propaganda push. The best way for them to begin is to keep their kids far, far away from the government schools.
I did the same thing - de-briefed my kids when they came home from school, and let them in to the ‘secret’ that we were giving lefty teachers answers they wanted on their tests, but we investigated and knew the truth.
Had to laugh when I met a very nice teacher at a sporting event; she complained about having to ‘teach to the test’ with requirements sent down from above. My comment to her is that teachers are ALWAYS teaching to the test - the more important point is ‘who is writing the test’.
Every grade school teacher wants to teach about the rain forest - very few want to go over the continents, countries, exports.
