To spur climate action, educators must get personal

In the United States, climate education needs shaking up — across all levels and settings.

Some 72% of US residents accept that climate change is happening. But many don’t understand why — only 58% think that it is caused by humans. And many don’t think that the climate crisis will affect them: only 46% consider themselves personally at risk.

These statistics might help to explain why, even though the United States saw record-setting heatwaves, wildfires and mega-storms in 2024, climate-change discussions remained on the back burner during this year’s presidential election. Campaigners called for cleaner air and water, but few argued for a drastic cut in fossil-fuel use, or discussed how communities can adapt to climate change. President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a hoax and has promised his campaign backers that he will overturn fossil-fuel regulations.


Global warming is on the cusp of crucial 1.5 °C threshold, suggest ice-core data

People who don’t think climate change affects them are often apathetic towards, or resistant to, climate action — despite it being one of the largest long-term threats to everyone’s health and well-being. What is needed to turn things around in the coming years is broad climate literacy.

Total and utter bullshit; the same way the scientific "consensus" used to be that phrenology predicted who would turn into a criminal, and what sort of criminal.

Climate Change Education Indoctrination

Climate scienece is the empirical measurement of quantifiable data   from satellites, weather stations, ice cores, sediment cores, tree rings, and fossils.

Climate Change is as old as the universe itself.  It will only stop when the universe ceases to be.

Past generations mitigated the impacts of (constant) Global Climate Change via engineering projects and technology advancements.

The international "Global Climate Change" farce is anti-Western communist nonsense that only benefits America's enemies.  They want to destroy Western economies and destabilize Western societies.

Germany is the future they want for the rest of us.  One of the largest Western industrialized nation's economies, and the economies of its electrically intergrated neighbors, are brought to their knees by a lack of wind.  Where was the risk analysis?  Where was the risk mitigation via diversification, distribution, and redundancy?  Where were the 'adults in the room'?

Now, America is behind in the AI race because we don't have the reliable electricity generation and distribution capacity to power the data centers.  This is no accident.  This is by design of America's enemies, especially the Chinese Communist Party.
