Advertisement The schools starting in first grade promote a political view that the world is experiencing global warming. They teach that this warming is caused by the United States and the West and that the United States of America is the world's largest polluter even though the facts prove differently.
The United States has the most stringent environmental laws of any country in the world, but, as usual, they are never strict enough for the environmentalists.
The schools are now promoting the United Nations Kyoto treaty that cuts carbon dioxide emissions drastically for the United States, crippling our industries. While China, with over 50 percent of the manufacturing in the world, continues polluting with no environmental regulations whatsoever.
The global warming hoax is the only view allowed in the public schools, even though 19,000 U.S. scientists have signed a petition declaring as false the belief that the earth is warming or that carbon dioxide causes global warming.
Parents and students, please go to the petition website www.oism.org/pproject and see the names of 19,000 U.S. scientists that have signed on to this petition and read their statement that global warming is false. Their peer-reviewed position paper also explains the way to a cleaner future using nuclear and coal, which the United States has in abundance.
The environmentalists claimed we would have global cooling in the 1970s and then it warmed up. So in the 1980s the new calamity coming was the ozone hole. In the 1990s the ozone hole disappeared so the global warming hoax started.
In 2002, the earth started cooling again. Last year, we had the coldest winter ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere. The Arctic ice is the thickest since records have been kept in 1962.
So many jokes were made about global warming last winter that the environmentalists and the government had to change the name from global warming to global climate change, which is what they call it now.
I think schools should be asking this question of themselves, why are we promoting the global warming hoax to school children instead of giving them the truth and a hope for the future?
