American Thinker Blog: Global warming brainwashing

It's freezing. Our kids have been lied to their entire lives.

Step outside and ask yourself if billions of your tax dollars were well spent on Global Warming. What if the amount is in the trillions? Generations of American children have grown up being taught the dangers of man-made global warming. On just one day, my twelve year old son heard about global warming in his science class, his Planet Earth video in English class, and in the Green Ideas in his school newspaper. It comes close to being brain-washed. Many teachers are also brain-washed. They too have been taught that the science behind global warming is settled. Our teachers need to be introduced to Climategate. Simple words will spell it out. The data was manipulated and made up, facts omitted, disagreements silenced. Pass this on to our children. They have been lied to their whole lives and deserve better.

Chris Mooney | What’s Hot in Climate [Junk] Science Today? Communicating

They’re growing convinced that if they don’t get themselves and their knowledge out there, someone else—like, say, Marc Morano—will be conveying the message about climate science instead.

Yesterday a session I participated in, called “Communicating Climate Science,” was packed with over 200 people. We literally had to move a wall at the Moscone Center to fit everyone in the room safely and ensure it wasn’t a fire hazard.
...
Somerville, meanwhile, took on the challenge of communicating when there’s a “dark side” trying to thwart every effort. He gave a roster of bogus denialist arguments, including the claim that there’s a conspiracy to suppress legitimate scientific dissent with respect to climate change science. As Somerville noted, climate skeptics like to paint themselves as Galileos struggling against the establishment, but in reality, “Historians of science will tell you that the odds of Galileos are extremely small.” (That was a laugh line.)

The other panelists, and those in the room, seemed to concur with my suggestion that one of the problems here is what you might call asymmetric warfare. As Mike Mann has put it, debating climate skeptics is kind of like “a battle between a marine and a cub scout.” Scientists are constrained in communicating, in a way that many climate skeptics aren’t, by various professional and scholarly norms. So how can they be expected to respond in the media with one hand behind their backs, given the kinds of scurrilous claims often made against them?
