US PROPAGANDA TARGETS THE YOUNG

Here's an example of what the climate realist movement is up against. When asked "what are you doing to save the planet", how many young people will reply, "where is the evidence that it's under threat"? Emotion trumps cold facts in many young minds. It is vital that students are not simply presented with a one-sided emotional argument, but how can this avalanche of officially sponsored material be countered?

Only by sceptics writing in the press and talking on the radio. People such as Christopher Booker and others can and do have an effect, but many more need to speak out. In my experience when asked directly for the evidence for CO2 causing dangerous global warming, most speakers cannot give a good answer (which is not surprising as there isn't one).What they do is trot out the same old mantra about the IPCC being beyond challenge, consisting of "thousands of peer-reviewed top scientists". That argument is rubbish and it must be demolished robustly.
