It is sad to see, as in a recent letter to the editor, young children indoctrinated in public schools concerning what causes climate change. Indoctrination of any kind is the tactic of tyranny. There is no scientific evidence that hints fossil fuel emissions cause the formation or the increased frequency of hurricanes, floods or forest fires. It is all conjecture.
As an educator, former pilot, civil engineer and amateur astronomer, I know man-made climate change is a hoax. I can only surmise that it is an attempt to manipulate people to change. And, to pay higher taxes and prices at the gas pump.
Al Gore tried the same tactic with his defunct “An Inconvenient Truth.” His documentary was made mandatory for every public school student to watch.
It is very important to clean up the environment. Especially, more than anything else, the oceans. But lies should not be the fuel to instigate change in human behavior. Or has the Age of Reason come to its end?
