Unfortunately, some misuse science. Some of their intentions, are far from benevolent. They see science as a mechanism for political power and control. There is great danger from those who would use science for political control over us.

How do they do this? They instill, and then continuously magnify, fear. Fear is the most effective instrument of totalitarian control.

Teacher alert: eco-blackshirts promote the killing of non-conforming adults and children

Is this where CO2-alarmism leads?

KILL! KILL! KILL THE UNBELIEVERS!


See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2010/sep/30/10-10-no-pressure-film
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FkB4uiizVo

The luvvies in and behind this despicable film are so convinced of the dangers of CO2 in the atmosphere that they wish to kill those who disagree with them, including children. The film ends with gore from an explosion sliding down the screen.  The film begins with a schoolteacher calmly blowing up two pupils in her class who decline to give in to her political requests , leaving blood over all the others in the classroom.


Now this is at a time when there is not a single piece of observational evidence that anything at all unusual is happening to climate.  The increase in a trace gas is so small that it remains a trace gas.  The role of it in the climate system is far from 'settled', with deeply qualified scientists estimating its effect ranging from a small cooling, through negligible to a modest warming.  A handful of scientists and programmers have created computer models of climate which include an additional hypothesis of postive feedback involving water vapour.  Then and only then do we get more scary scenarios of warming.  We also see in the model outputs a remarkable and pronounced hotter zone in the upper troposphere - one that has not been observed.  Ordinarily, the scientific method would say - 'model prediction not confirmed by observation, model not good enough'.  Some models also predict a hot spot over Antarctica - one that should be clearly detectable by now, but it is not there.  None of the models predicted the break in the warming since around 1998 to the present day.  None of the models include the fact that many weather station records show no overall warming at all in the past century.  The models are not good.  They are not fit for prediction. Yet there is nothing else that deserves an alarmed reaction.  Nothing.  The luvvies want to kill and destroy based on the output of computer models of demonstrably poor quality, in a field where there are substantially different theories about the impact of CO2 on climate.  Only those theories which predict a modest to negligible impact have been supported by observations of the real atmosphere.

Note added 8 Nov 2011.  I regret the term 'eco-blackshirts' in the title.  Although I think such people could readily be recruited, the filmakers themselves did not actually apply real violence to those they deem to be so evil that they, or their children, must be blown up by terrorists acting for the climate cause.  They merely promoted such violence.

Note added 3 Dec 2011.  Prof Jones of UEA, the notorious climate schemer as revealed by CG1 and CG2, put his department into the 10:10 campaign less than a year before the ugly video was released:
'I am a lot more free to push my environmental interests without ongoing critique of my motives and supposed misguidedness - I've signed my department up to 10:10 campaign and have a taskforce of staff and students involved in it...' (29 October 2009, source: http://di2.nu/foia/foia2011/mail/1625.txt)
I wonder if they are still part of it?

Note added 28 April 2012:  Violent imagery used by out-of-control EPA bureaucrat: cruxifixion.

 "The Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They'd go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they'd find the first five guys they saw and they would crucify them. And then you know that town was really easy to manage for the next few years."

'A recently surfaced video of an EPA official's rant confirms what many of us already knew about the Obama Administration: they imagine themselves to be the rulers of conquered territories populated by restless barbarians who must be subjugated at any cost, complete with indiscriminate and severe exemplary punishments.'

Note added 17 April 2014.   The close relationship of eco-fanaticism with National Socialism in Hitler's Germany is illustrated by this quotation: '"We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the whole of life, leads to humankind’s own destruction and to the death of nations. Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger. That is the fundamental point of the biological tasks of our age. Humankind alone is no longer the focus of thought, but rather life as a whole . . . This striving toward connectedness with the totality of life, with nature itself, a nature into which we are born, this is the deepest meaning and the true essence of National Socialist thought."

Loaded climatology: what chance have the pupils if their teachers buy into this?

Corruption of schools by politicians and government agencies:

(1) NASA pushes alarmist projections based on woefully inadequate computer models for use by schools.  See how hot we'll be in 2060!!  A withering attack on this at C3 (http://www.c3headlines.com/2010/09/nasas-inaccurate-climate-model-technology-pushed-into-schools-classrooms-incompetence-101-or-propaga.html):

NASA's Inaccurate Climate Model Technology Pushed Into Schools' Classrooms: 'Incompetence 101' or 'Propaganda 101'?

Read here . Big government bureaucrats, whose entire careers are based on incompetence and wasting billions of tax dollars, have now decided that students should learn about the government's inaccurate, non-reliable, CO2-centric computer climate models.


Are they really unreliable and inaccurate? Well, the facts do speak for themselves. As everyone knows from real world day-to-day experience, weather computer models are notoriously inaccurate for weather projections out past a few days. Seasonal forecasts by weather/climate models are even worse, to the point that experts are no longer relying on them. It has become established scientific fact that the inaccuracy of computer model's increases exponentially over time, making them entirely useless as thermometer predictors for any future period.'

(2) US Representative, Sarbannes calls for deliberate indoctrination of schoolchildren to profit from the totalitarian strategy of using children for political pressure. (see: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/75645   via http://icecap.us/index.php/go/political-climate  H/tip: thanks Dave)

'
(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) told CNSNews.com at a “Sustainability Education Summit” hosted by the U.S. Education Department on Tuesday that environmental education in schools can “promote the agenda” of climate change and population growth through the influence it has on children.


“Like I keep saying over and over again, if you get young people invested in those ideas early on, that will result in those kinds of positive policy developments,” Sarbanes told CNSNews.com. “So, whether it’s climate change, whether it’s population growth, whether it’s all these factors that impact the health of our world, raising that awareness early among young people is only going to promote the agenda.”  '


(3) Here in the UK, there are websites pushing the climate dogma on to teachers, e.g. this one in Scotland  (http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/exploringclimatechange/index.asp ) where it says:

'Our climate is changing. The planet is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Global average temperatures have risen by 0.8ºC since the late 19th century, and 0.2ºC per decade over the past 25 years. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions have caused, and continue to cause, most of the observed temperature rise since the mid 20th century. Millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced every day by human activity. These constant emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere continue to drive global warming. '


Here are some things their pupils may find on the internet to infuriate any teacher taken in by the thrust of the above paragraph, i.e. that there is something unusual about recent climate, and that human activity is driving it.


The global temperature rises according to the UK Hadley Centre, a venue not noted for any anti-establishment position on global warming, have been occuring at much the same rate in the late 20th century as earlier in the 20th century with some cooling phases in between despite a sustained increase in CO2 levels in the late 20th century. If the pattern repeats, we can expect some cooling for the next 20 years or so:

Here is a plot based on temperature reconstructions over the last 2000 years.  Once again, nothing unusual about the 20thC:
(more context for this plot here: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/09/28/loehle-vindication/#more-25461

And over the past 10,000 years or so of the Holocene, this plot shows nothing unusual in our bit of this pleasantly warm interglacial, but unfortunately with an overall cooling trend for the past 6,000 years as we approach the next glaciation of our ice age:

(4) In Australia, the Australian Science Teachers Association endorse this insidious website with its game for 8 year-olds an up: http://www.footprintsgame.com.au/game.

'FootprintsTM is a challenging learning game for players aged 8 and over. It is specifically aimed at middle school students, encouraging them to learn more and act on saving our environment. FootprintsTM is about the greatest challenges facing humanity today... global warming and climate change.'

How will the children themselves deal with this if their teachers are overwhelmed by all this pressure and toe the line?  

Depression and dismay, a hatred of technology, a horror of the future?  Cannon fodder for eco-terrorists? Or will some of them when they are old enough, make use of the internet to expose the nonsense and embarrass their teachers?

Time will tell.  Perhaps some teachers will lead the way instead.  Although in so doing,  they will put their careers at risk in our current environment.  But perhaps that is preferable to risking those of any pupils who dare challenge the disgraceful and anti-scientific orthodoxy of alarmism which is being imposed upon them.

One day, and I hope it is soon, our schools will be free to encourage both realism and optimism about our environment, and show how our technological systems have brought so much benefit - coal-fired power stations included.  There is a great deal to be pleased and excited about, but the sickening flood of ill-founded alarmism about CO2 is poisoning the minds and spirits of a generation.
