NSF blows another $1.25 million in an attempt to develop more effective climate hoax propaganda

Climate education effort targets regional leaders | UTSanDiego.com

An unusual alliance of social scientists, researchers and communications experts in San Diego County is trying to elevate the nation’s literacy of climate science — though the effort itself might inflame skeptics of global warming.

The initiative is designed to approach climate issues in a fresh way. Unlike most science-education programs, this one doesn’t target school-aged children or young adults, nor does it rely solely on scientists to do the talking.

Powered by a $1.25 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the University of San Diego and its allies are analyzing what regional trendsetters in business, politics and other endeavors think about global warming so they can fashion messages that resonate best and find the most effective people to deliver them.

...The effort is polarizing. “(It) is a giant waste of taxpayer money that should be immediately terminated,” said James Taylor, a senior fellow for environmental policy at the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, a national group that advocates for free-market solutions to social issues.

“Environmental activist groups … can and do undertake the same environmental ‘education’ programs already,” Taylor said. “We have a federal debt that is beginning to look more and more like that of Greece and other failing European nations, yet we are spending increasing amounts of money on ridiculous boondoggles that accomplish no real-world objectives other than making global warming alarmists feel good.”
