Why this petition matters

Started by Ngaro

Dear educators,

Education is pivotal to a young person's attitude in life. With this petition we (i.e those signing the online petition) beseech you to ensure the climate emergency narrative in schools is not cultivating a demoralizing sense of doom and hopelessness that might undermine their motivation.

Disinformation today could even be leading some to become desperate eco-terrorists, or contribute to youth suicides. Please help them keep a balanced and informed perspective:

  • CO2 is not toxic and not a pollutant.
  • CO2 is essential to life.
  • Atmospheric CO2 had decline to dangerously low levels.
  • Burning fossil fuel restores carbon to where it came from.

 

  • For most of Earth's history life thrived in a warmer climate.
  • Life thrived with more CO2 than there is today.
  • Raising atmospheric CO2 is greening our planet.
  • If we prepare for it rather than fight it, changing climate need not be life threatening.

 

  • Climate change is dominated by solar cycles, beyond our control.
  • Proposed measures have negative side effects.
  • Our government's proposals will cripple our industry.
  • They will promote economies of the worst offenders.

Many people believe that free-market economy will regulate the declining fossil fuel far more effectively than incentives and penalties imposed by legions of bureaucrats guided by politicians.

Please teach our kids not to get swept along by hysterical political propaganda. Please help them to understand the reality and the science behind climate change, so they too can make informed decisions for their future. Please share this petition with your staff, colleagues, pupils, or your teacher.
