Based on a
UK GCSE guide
from 2015, but
you can be sure
climate change
scaremongering
has increased
since then.
Whoever wrote
the teaching guide
had little climate
science knowledge,
and simply parroted
the main talking points
of the coming climate
crisis religion.
This particular GCSE
course is assumed
to be based on
what was written
in the 2015 guide.
The guide
was originally
published in 2010,
and last published
in 2015.
It was used in
Welsh schools.
It was part of the
geography course,
and the current
syllabus is likely
to be worse,
because climate
scaremongering
ramped up a lot
in recent years.
Teachers have made
the younger generation
paranoid about climate
change, which I consider
a form of child abuse.
The middle red box
in the guide photo below
claims CO2 levels have
never been as high
as they are now.
Complete nonsense !
In fact,
CO2 levels
have rarely been
as LOW as they
are now !
How about
the roughly
estimated
180ppm from
about 20,000
years ago, when
oceans absorbed
a lot of CO2,
and Canada
was under
an ice glacier ?
That is the
lowest estimate
of atmospheric CO2
in the Earth's
4.5 billion year
history.
Geologists estimate
peak CO2 levels were 10x
to 20x higher than today !
The CO2 that
was in the air
back then is now
mainly sequestered
underground as carbon
in coal, oil and natural gas.
Burning those products
actually recycles CO2
back into the atmosphere !
Many plants would not
survive below 150ppm
-- and 100ppm CO2
would certainly end life
on our planet.
Most plants
alive today,
that are
used for food,
( C3 photosyntheses
plants ),
evolved when
the air had about
1,000ppm CO2.
( 415 ppm today )
Greenhouses add CO2
to reach 1,000 to
2,000 ppm CO2 levels
( ppm = parts per million )
indoors, to accelerate
growth of their plants.
The UK teachers guide
for teaching climate
change to school children:
They mention the
retreat of glaciers
over the last 150 years,
yet there is no mention
of the Little Ice Age
centuries where
the same glaciers
expanded massively.
They assert extreme
weather events are
becoming more frequent
with no evidence
of the claim ... because
no such evidence exists !
A claim that the UK
has experienced
some of the wettest,
windiest and driest
weather is also
contradicted by data.
The section called
“What are the
alternative futures”,
is nothing more than
scaremongering,
encouraging kids
to imagine an
apocalyptic future.
Sea levels are shown
on a map drawn
at 5 meters above
the current sea level.
In fact, based on
tide gauges, sea level
has been rising at a
a stable rate of
+6 to +9mm a year,
since the late 1800's,
with NO acceleration
visible that could be
blamed on global
warming !
Children are scared
with wild speculation
about earthquakes,
tsunamis,
mass extinctions,
plague,
Greenland
melting,
nuclear war,
climate refugees
and other nonsense.
Here's what I would
teach children:
(1)
Climate has
always been
changing.
(2)
Before there were
enough people
to make a difference,
a million years ago,
people were not
changing the climate,
yet the climate
was changing !
(3)
The climate has been
gradually warming
since the 1600's,
long before people
had cars and trucks !
(4)
The notion that
local climates
all over the world
were ‘just right’
in the mid-1700s,
and any change
from then is bad,
is nonsense.
It’s a meaningless
argument
coming from
a bad assumption.
Geography
used to be
learning facts
about the world.
Not leftist propaganda
of scary, wild guess
predictions about
the future climate.
Propaganda repeated
in public since the 1970s,
as Earth's climate
got more moderate,
and more pleasant !
The climate crisis,
"coming" for 50 years,
but it never arrives !
