When wildfire smoke blocked the sun and turned the sky orange above the San Francisco Bay Area in September 2020, Andra Yeghoian’s two young children, ages 3 and 5, were scared. And they had questions: What was going on? Was this normal?
Yeghoian did her best to explain and to comfort them.
“I can’t not talk about climate change with my kids,” she said. “It’s the same for teachers with their students.”
Yeghoian is one of the lead authors of a new report — released Thursday and shared exclusively with The Times — exploring how K-12 schools can educate students about climate change, while contributing to climate solutions themselves.
Building schools that run on renewable energy and provide shelter from heat and smoke, the report argues, will not only protect children — it can also support entire communities struggling to deal with climate change impacts and help prepare young people to thrive in a world that’s only getting hotter.
Bringing solar panels, heat pumps and electric buses to schools could help show students that their parents’ generation is serious about building a better world for them — while also giving students a climate learning laboratory, the report argues.
Teachers could use those clean energy systems to bring environmental lessons to life. They could also build classes around school air-quality monitors, plant-based meals served to students and on-campus gardens seeded with native trees and plants.
Is this vision for climate education likely to come to pass in our lifetimes, let alone the next 10 or 15 years?
It would certainly require a paradigm shift. But then again, so will sustaining a habitable planet. I choose to be optimistic.

Yep, need to brainwash the kids early so they can’t think for themselves - kind of like how schools are teaching kids that pedo-drag queens are something to be celebrated and are completely normal.
Groomer teachers that think there is a climate “crisis” should all be fired. Don’t let your children near groomer teachers.
Skip the teachers—just go for electric shock treatment and drugs to brainwash the children...
;-)
We need to keep children far, far away from pretenders with eddikashun degrees who wouldn’t come even close to understanding real science. Name a “climate” prediction that’s come true. Just one.
So what are her 3-and-5-year olds - now six and eight - supposed to do to fight climate change?! Effing laughable....
How are they going to do all that and still teach woke-ism and CRT?!
Let’s be honest. No one wants to “solve the climate crisis.” Half of us don’t believe it exists. The other half desperately needs its continued existence to perpetuate their political power.
Actually not laughable, this is very dangerous.
LA Times so.................
To get a doctrine nation, you need indoctrination.
Academia is always a necessary component of forced indoctrination.
There is no “climate crisis” so there is nothing to solve.
We put stupid ideas into the heads of children then we must back up the stupid with stupid actions. Where the feck are the ADULTS?
Strange how they make it sound like a religion. I’m sure Jim Jones said similar things about schools and teachers.
File under “Wasting extra fossil fuel to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.”
I think what she is trying to say is that the Green Weenie Bowel Movement needs more money taken from American workers’ paychecks.
FOAD Times.
In other words, indoctrinate the little retards with more of this “climate change” bullcrap.
