On Thick Ice

The latest news from England should give pause to educators who are teaching their impressionable students that global warming is underway and scary.
Phil Jones, until recently a key scientist on the climate change bandwagon, now admits that there has been no warming since 1995 and that temperatures may have been somewhat higher during the recent Medieval Period (warming obviously not caused by human activity).
In other words, Dr. Jones is quite lukewarm on this topic!
I don’t think you will get far. Al Gore and David Suzuki are saints to teachers, especially science and geography teachers. Every kids in Canada and the USA has seen An Inconvenient Truth probably more than once.
The public school system basically tells students, “climate change deniers are either nut jobs or Exxon Mobile executives.“
Good luck with that. The part I like the most is the explicit critique of capitalism as a dangerous system that needs a lot of external control just like Wall St.
