I’d recommend not doing it as they come in the house, their cheeks rosy red from the cold, stomping snow off their boots
Parents: Talk Climate Change With Your Kids
……
Start Them Early
It’s their earth they will inherit, help them to appreciate and respect it. Everyone has to do their part to help reduce their carbon emissions — it is especially important to teach your kids. They hold the keys to saving the planet. We all have some type of mess in our lives. It doesn’t matter if it is economical or ecological, it is up to to do our part to help clean it up.
Warmists have specificially stated that they want this junk science to be personal: I’d like to know if the writer, Neale Godfrey, still drives a fossil fueled vehicle. Oh, and why does she have kids? Kids are Bad for “climate change”. Hey, she wrote that “everyone has to do their part…” Warmists should lead the way. Otherwise, why should anyone believe their dogma? Anyhow, she has a few ideas to discuss with the kids, such as
- Take your kids on a train or a bus ride — even better if it’s a natural gas powered bus. Explain that, in the U.S., cars and trucks emit 20 percent of the carbon emissions. Trains and buses, mass transit, move groups of people, with far less fuel consumption and pollution than everyone taking their own car. (<-think Neale does this?)
- Use a time to limit the length of showers. Let your kids know that showers account for two-thirds of your water heating costs? If you shorten your shower time, you can save money and 350 pounds of CO2 emissions per year.
- Change your menu. Eat less meat, especially beef. If you reduce the meat in your diet by half, an average family can avoid creating about three tons of emissions a year.
- Include a civics lesson. Teach your kids how democracy-in-action works. Together, with your kids, let policy makers know you are concerned about global warming. Research you representatives in local, state, and federal government — and write to them with your concerns. Have the kids make appropriate drawings to include. (nothing better than teaching them far left hyper-partisanship early, so they can end up like the typical unhinged leftist creating mayhem)
She also recommends planting a tree (hey, never a bad idea), wrapping insulation, and turning down the temperature of the water heater. I do those last two myself, they save me money. I did plant a tree by my porch.
She always wants parents to take their kids on a scavenger hunt to pick up bottles and cans. Essentially, trash. This is one of the parts of “climate change” that makes me nuts. Warmists wrap real issues, such as litter, under the banner of their wackadoodle cult.
As with all the lessons you teach your children, remember to use the world as your classroom. There are examples of waste and conservation all around us. Point them out. Explain them. Challenge your kids to come up with solutions. Also, remember that they learn by example. Create good habits, and greener living – you kids will follow along.
So, practice what you preach, Warmists. Somehow, I doubt Neale does. Oh, and you can start by no longer having children. This way we can wipe out your deranged cult within a couple generations.
