The disgraceful panic over rising CO2 levels has led to many harms, not least to the mental well-being of children, and the physical well-being of just about everyone. The jejune 'Earth Hour' is but one manifestation of the rot that has spread into many groups, organisations, and even governments.

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.

Inch by Inch, Row by Row, Make the Climate Rascals Go
Here's a slightly modified first verse of an even more heavily modified 'Garden Song' which I put together about 5 years ago:
Inch
by inch, row by row
Make the
climate rascals go
All it takes is to check, don'tcha know
For their claims are so unsound.
All it takes is to check, don'tcha know
For their claims are so unsound.
And here is a recent example on WUWT of what people can find when they check climate-alarm-campaigners' scare-stories about climate. There is surely great scope for including such examples in school textbooks as and when the climate alarm fad fades away and the whole sorry farce can be studied in ways to help children and adults recover from the propaganda onslaught they have endured.
'...
Climate Alarmist have over time gone from focusing on Global Warming,
to Climate Change to simply fear of Carbon. Thus, this research
sought to determine the credibility of Ten (10) very frequently cited
Climate Alarmists Claims.
Below
are Rebuttals to each of these ten typical climate alarmists’
claims. The
rebuttal authors are all recognized experts on their topic and each
rebuttal demonstrates the claim fallacy by merely citing the most
credible empirical data.
Claim
#1: Heat Waves are increasing at an alarming rate and heat kills
For
Rebuttal and Author Credentials See: EF_RRT_AC
– Heat Waves
Claim
#2: Global warming is causing more hurricanes and stronger hurricanes

– Hurricanes
Claim
#3: Global warming is causing more and stronger tornadoes
For
Rebuttal and Author Credentials See: EF_RRT_CA
– Tornadoes
Claim
#4: Global warming is increasing the magnitude and frequency of
droughts and floods.

Claim
#6: Global warming is causing snow to disappear

Claim
#7: Global warming is resulting in rising sea levels as seen in both
tide gauge and satellite technology

Claim
#8: Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland ice loss is accelerating
due to global warming

Claim #9: Rising atmospheric
CO2 concentrations
are causing ocean acidification, which is catastrophically harming
marine life

Clearing up the Mess produced by Climate Alarmism: watch out for Nolans and Baizuos.
The damage done to children and other vulnerable groups by the climate alarmists has yet to be quantified and assessed, but seems likely to be deep and extensive. Here is one recent example: young women, whose entire education could have been contaminated with climate alarmism, are agonising over whether or not to have children: http://wgntv.com/2018/01/31/climate-change-is-impacting-some-womens-decisions-to-have-children/
This blog will continue to report on people and materials that can help those who wish to repair such damage over the coming decades.
Here are a couple of types of people who will get in the way of such efforts: nolans and baizuos.

NOLAN /di’khe’d/ A bigoted blowhard, someone unwilling to listen to other points of view, someone who thinks they have licence to cast moral judgement upon others, someone who makes a show of being independently minded, intellectually rigorous and scrupulously impartial but is in fact someone who toes the party line and is in reality no more than a PC ‘bot’ churning out the Liberal Establishment orthodoxy whilst suppressing inconvenient facts.

BAIZUO. 'The
word 'baizuo'
is,
according to political scientist Zhang Chenchen, a Chinese word that
ridicules Western “liberal elites”. He further defined the word
“baizuo” with the definition “People who only care about topics
such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and
“have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are
hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only
to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are
“obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they
“tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of
multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits
only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and
arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think
they are saviours”. The term has also been used to refer to
perceived double standards of the Western media, such as the alleged
bias on reporting about Islamist attacks in Xinjiang. The
use of the word “Baizuo” could be an insult on the Chinese
Internet.'
'Baizuo' is apparently
pronounced 'buy-tshwaah'
