A kid's guide to climate change (plus a printable comic)
NPR ^ | July 14, 2023 | By Lauren Sommer , Malaka Gharib

Are you a kid — or do you know a kid — who is learning about climate change?

Whether they're asking about historic flooding or wondering about record-breaking temperatures, it can be hard to know where to start. So we made a guide about how it's changing the planet and how to deal with the big feelings you might have when you hear about it.

Why we made this

Over the years we've created resources for how parents can talk to their kids about climate change. This time we wanted to make something specifically for kids as they're processing their feelings. We also wanted to create a free resource for parents or teachers to use who are looking for ways to help their kids understand how the planet is changing.

Our methodology

We talked with scientists, psychologists and climate researchers to find the best information and proven practices for how to talk to young kids about climate change. We also interviewed several kids who have experienced climate disasters and have taken action in their local communities.

Who this is for

This comic is intended for kids ages 6-12, who are starting to hear about climate change or are starting to experience climate anxiety. But we hope it can be a resource for people of any age.

Taxes and stolen money cannot cancel climate change. It has been around since the beginning of time.

I have two grandchildren (boys) ages 7 and 10. Rising temperatures to them means more time at the pool. Climate change isn’t an issue for them.

They included a screaming Hussein and his beachfront mansion. Very nice.

Again, humans can’t affect the climate; climate is a force of nature. Denver used to be under an ocean, there is nothing humans could have done to change that.

And between 1969 and 1980 we were inundated
with a constant stream of THE COMING ICE AGE propaganda. Chicago was supposed to be under 500 feet of ice by now.

From POPULAR SCIENCE, Feb 1980..
PS/What’s News ....
page 73
Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)

“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”

AND WE DID IT! STOPPED THE COMING ICE AGE IN IT’S TRACKS!

“Nagel” means “nail” in German, and the surname is considered to be derived from the occupatio of nailmaker. Unless the person is using it as a pseudonym with an anagram in it.

They always go for the kids... utter scum. And devious:

“We also interviewed several kids who have experienced climate disasters”

There are no such things as “climate disasters”. Extreme weather, sure. But that passes on.

But calling a weather event “climate disaster” sets the hook.
