This is a fine example of why I despise AGW True Believers

PRIMARY school children are being terrified by lessons claiming climate change will bring "death, injury and destruction" to the world unless they take action.

On the eve of Prime Minister Julia Gillard's carbon tax package announcement, psychologists and scientists said the lessons were alarmist, created unneeded anxiety among school children and endangered their me
Linkntal health.

Climate change as a "Doomsday scenario" is being taught in classrooms across Australia
.
Go read it for all the disgusting details. Please note this:
Psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg called on educators to be "more circumspect and present both sides (of the climate-change debate)".

"When you repeat things over and over to young people who don't have the cognitive maturity and emotional maturity to process this stuff, you end up creating unnecessary anxiety," he said.

Federal Schools Minister Peter Garrett said the government would not stop the teaching of climate science, despite moves in Britain for the subject to be withdrawn.
Got that? 'present both sides of the debate' means "STOP TEACHING IT!" according to miserable little assholes like Garrett.

Damn these people; for their arrogance, and what they're doing to kids.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
