Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable.
Recent global and local heat records reflect natural temperature cycles.
These are some of the themes of children’s videos produced by an influential conservative advocacy group.
Now, the videos could soon be used in Florida’s classrooms.
Florida’s Department of Education has approved the classroom use of material from the Prager University Foundation, a conservative group that produces videos that distort science, history, gender and other topics.
Education experts call the videos dangerous propaganda.
Florida is the first state to allow PragerU materials in public schools, where teachers will have the option of showing the five- to 10-minute videos in their classrooms. Florida public schools have roughly 3 million students, more than the entire population of Kansas.
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit says the videos will rebalance schools that have been “hijacked by the left.”
“Young kids are being taught climate hysteria," Streit said in an interview. "They’re hearing that the world is coming to an end, and we think that there needs to be a healthy balance.
“The climate is always changing,” Streit added, repeating a climate-denial motto that rejects fossil fuel burning as the cause of continuing record-high temperatures.
For now, Florida has approved using PragerU videos only in civics and government for younger children. Some PragerU climate denial videos are classified under non-climate categories, which could enable their use in Florida.

DeSantis gets the job done.
“ Education experts call the videos dangerous propaganda.”
…go blow it out your butt. About time that differing “opinions” were allowed in this country again.
Heaven forbid they should present another side of the argument.
so lets have a debate
a great debate about climate change
lets see who has the goods
“Scientific” American, HAHAHAHAHAHA. Please. Voodoo pseudoscience magazine.
Whiny liberal journalists hate the Florida is allowing PragerU materials in some classes.
They hate President Bukele of El Salvador, too, because he actually cracked down on crime.
Scientologist American is a garbage publication
There goes our governor again—threatening yet another woke entity’s place at the trough. My question is—can these so-called scientific Americans even define what a woman is?
But…..Al Gore said the debates over.
“Climate-denial motto”
“Scientific American”
Probably used to be a good magazine.
SciAm isn’t.
Scott Waldman wrote this tripe. He works for “E&E” news, which I guess was bought up by Politico. E&E stands for energy and environment, IIRC.
In other words, it is leftist propaganda.
Scientific American has been a thoroughly compromised Leftist organ since at least the mid-1990s, similar to National Geographic. Anything they say should be taken with a full tablespoon of fleur de sel.
In the 1970s, Scientific American WAS a good magazine.
No longer.
Same story as National Geographic and many others.
But differing opinions make some people feel bad..
even suicidal...
or, worse ..vote Republican.

That visual/noise pollution isn't a problem if you are deaf, blind or live in mom's basement and don't go outside.
Abouttime someone told the TRUTH. Climate Change is a HOAX!.
Do they tell the kids about the arson being conducted to promote global warming ideology?
