Miseducation: How Climate Change Is Taught in America (2 Viewers)

[Germinator]

During the covid lockdown did lots of reading and one of the books that I found interesting (and eye opening) is "Miseducation"

Miseducation · Columbia Global Reports

An eye-opening look at how some states do not want children to learn the facts about climate change.

That book has been on my mind ever since I read it. I thought about it for a while so put together a two-part Doodly. It outlines the science I believe teachers should be teaching their students. The Doodly starts with the combustion process and walks through the data. It shows why the daily global consumption of over 100 million barrels of oil, burned each day, is reflected in the Keeling curve. Furthermore, incorporated Milankovitch orbital variations that indicate decreasing solar intensity, which suggests the Earth's climate should be cooling. Given this, the only thing that makes sense to me is that humanity is causing an unprecedented global climate change event.

So any climate change skeptics care to share where they think I'm not presenting solid science (in the following videos posted on YouTube)

“We are the only country in the world that has had a multi-decade, multi-billion dollar deny-delay-confuse campaign.” So true. Many people believed the "Clean Coal" media campaign.

The lies about climate change, from a Rightwing perspective:

1. Snow storm in Texas, proves climate change is a hoax
2. Some ice reforming in the Artic, proves climate change is a hoax
3. We always had hot summers, so nothing new
4. Climate IS changing because of volcanoes, sun spots, natural cycles
5. They predicted NY would be underwater by now, it isn't, so it's all a hoax
6. F. Fred Singer is sceptical, so I will be too
7. Globalists and George Soros are behind all this climate change hysteria
8. Scientists saying that climate change is man made are all woke and leftists
9. I know better, I have a brain, I am smart
10. No one is taking my gas powered Dodge Ram or F150 from me

The lies about climate change, from a Rightwing perspective:

Yes, all that, AND all global rising temperature measurements are distorted by urban heat islands!

 

[ataraxia]

The fossil fuel industry which propagates so much of the misinformation is Penny wise and pound foolish.

They must either not care about their own kids and grandkids, or think that if they make enough money, they will be able to protect them as the rest of the world anunks into chaos.

They will not have enough ammo for their ARs to shoot all the climate refugees as islands get flooded and agricultural lands face drought..

Science needs to be taught like it always has, the theories are developed from experimental evidence. hypothesis should not be taught as facts. This is what’s going on with the case of CO2 driven climate change.
Human activity is very likely causing the climate to change, but the activity is likely first causing air pollution, and then quickly removing that pollution. The spectrum of earth’s energy gains are all wrong for CO2 to be causing them. It would be like saying an a.m. radio station is disrupting a TV station.

THAT is a new one on me, so will add it to my list.

The scam is taught as fact. This needs to stop.

6. F. Fred Singer is sceptical, so I will be too

Actually was a first hand witness to Singer bull$hit (although didn't know it at the time, only realized it look back)

Basically two pioneers in the field of climate science are Roger Revelle and Charles Keeling,...

As an undergrad back in the day had Revelle as a prof in a PolSci seminar class (that was designed to give non science majors like Al Gore an introduction to hard science)

Roger Revelle

FWIW I took the class because I double majored in PolSci and physics, anyway the seminar class was designed so PolSci knuckleheads could listen to informal presentations of various world class scientists (and ask them questions one on one),... this is how I stumbled across Keeling (who is known for the "curve")

The Keeling Curve

The Keeling Curve is a daily record of global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration maintained by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

Long story short, while I was taking Revelle's seminar class, Singer was at the same time plotting was to sow doubt on the science (in his "cosmo" article),... actually Singer sued Revelle's assistant (and just happens court documents in the case specifically mention the Revelle's seminar class)

PS IMHO we can't just blame the rightwing for the cluster **** we're in, because as I see thing the leftwing were too busy focusing on political bull$hit themselves (and not learning the actual science,... like in the case of Al Gore talking about polar bears starving in "an inconvenient truth")

I think the US elections of '24 expedited whatever hellscape awaits us in a decade or two. Do I think we're going to go extinct by the year 2050? No, but I think we can expect waves of destructive weather phenomena that make stable civilization challenging until there is some sort of radical intervention. Perhaps if we have the resources to scale nuclear fusion and even smaller-scale conventional nukes (in tandem with solar, etc.), we might be able to dramatically slow the absolute worst of it mid-century. That would buy us some time. But that doesn't appear to be the direction we're headed now.

What I always find funny is Republicans say "Look at the money trail!" when talking about scientists as if the poor oil companies are battling these super rich scientists.

Yes, it must be horrible to be a poor Exon executive with only his fleet of private jets and 5 homes to shelter in against the attacks from scientists who most likely just have a small grant and a middle class income.

Won't somebody think of the poor executives!!!

Hyperbole by the left is not nearly as dangerous as blind ignorance by the right.
This is how it often happens, someone will point to someone like Al Gore, and say "see, he was wrong" while ignoring the evidence of climate change all around them. Like I said..........

1. Snow storm in Texas, proves climate change is a hoax

 

[NoMoreDems-Reps]

They have been saying a lot of stuff for a long time !

"IF" the Left "REALLY" cared about Climate change they would be pushing for Tuble ligation and Vasectomies world wide and
focus on highly populated poor nations !!!.............

When that happen then we should start to get worried!
