What’s the point of teaching children to deny climate change? So that they won’t go and find a solution? Are they trying to eliminate human beings?
Let me guess…big oil is now lobbying for changes in our education so they can keep making money and ruining the planet
what good is money for if we all die
The world isn’t going to die overnight, it’s going to happen slowly, and it’s already started. Failed crops, mass migration, water shortages, etc. The rich need to maintain the ability to influence policies like immigration to stretch out their miserable existance.

The rich think they’ll live in opulent bunkers.
It doesn’t seem to occur to them that they’ll be killed and eaten by their own security guards, once the collapse of civilization renders their money moot.
But we will all be dead by then.
If anyone has not previously googled for PragerU content, you should. I watched a couple vids and looked at images from a textbook awhile ago. You’ll be sure it’s either satire or fake. Best as I can tell, it’s neither. That makes it scary.
Just a reminder that PragerU made a video defending racism and slavery.
I wonder if other well-known industry groups are also called our for their propganda? For example recycling is pushed by the plastic industry, the notion of “clean coal” is pushed by coal mining, and of course the entire notion of volunteering for charity is just Capitalism ensuring that societal problems will never try to be tackled by a Government.
This is no different.
What schools are teaching clean coal as part of their curriculum? And yes, even ineffective solutions like recycling are extremely different and far better than teaching kids outright denial.
I don’t know any specific school that is teaching clean coal, however there is nothing at any school district that would preclude clean coal from being discussed as an answer to climate change. Much like the PragerU videos. No school district is currently using those videos, but there is nothing stopping any school from using them which is what the whole article is about.
