These are the “young ambassadors” the UN wants us to listen to on energy supply and “global warming” | JunkScience.com

Kids think yoghurt comes from plants, survey finds – FARMERS want more investment in agricultural education after a survey showing students have worryingly little knowledge about food and fibre production.

The survey, released today, found that three-quarters of Year 6 students thought cotton socks came from animals.

Warmists cautious in trying to exploit bad weather this time

"Climate Central" actually admits that tornado frequency could DECREASE in a warming world. But they are not giving up their religion just yet. They say: "Climate change is already changing the environment in which severe thunderstorms and their associated tornadoes form". But how can it be changing anything when it doesn't exist? Even Warmist scientists now admit that average temperatures have been flat for the last 15 years. So "Climate Central" is still faith-based, certainly not reality-based

In climate wars, radicalization of researchers brings risks - The Washington Post

AGU offers communications training for its members, along with an annual “Climate Day on the Hill” in which it dispatches them to speak with lawmakers about recent scientific findings, and a $25,000 climate communication prize. Several scientists have created a “Climate Science Rapid Response Team” to help lawmakers and members of the media reach researchers quickly, while others have raised more than $30,000 for a Climate Science Legal Defense Fund to aid researchers facing either lawsuits or Freedom of Information Act requests over their work.

Several academics who question the notion that human activities are driving dangerous warming said Gleick’s actions show that climate scientists cannot be trusted. William Harper, a Princeton University physics professor who is chairman of the George C. Marshall Institute, wrote in an e-mail that Gleick’s actions demonstrate how radicalized several of them have become.

“Some scientists feel that any hint that something may be rotten in the state of climate is a threat that must be countered by any means possible,” wrote Harper, suggesting that many scientists can fundraise by projecting dire climate impacts. “If you are saving the planet, along with a good funding source, the ends apparently justify the means.”
