Here is another Global Warming article I came across today
New UN Children's Book Promotes Global Warming Fears to Kids
A new United Nations children's book promoting fears of catastrophic manmade
global warming is being promoted at the UN Climate Change Conference in
Kenya. The books main character, a young boy, is featured getting so worried
about a coming manmade climate disaster that he yells "I don't want to hear
anymore!" The new children's book, entitled "Tore and the Town on Thin Ice"
((
http://www.unep.org/PDF/TORE.pdf)) is published by the United Nations
Environment Programme and blames "rich countries" for creating a climate
catastrophe and urges children to join environmental groups.
The book is about a young kid named Tore who lives in an Arctic village.
Tore loses a dog sled race because he crashes through the thinning ice
allegedly caused by manmade greenhouse gas emissions. The book features
colorful drawings and large text to appeal to young children.
After the boy loses the dog sled race, he is visited by "Sedna, the Mother
of the Sea" in a dream. The "Sea Mother" Goddess informs the boy in blunt
terms that the thinning ice that caused his loss in the dog sled race was
due to manmade global warming.
"I'm the one who created and cares for the sea creatures -- whales and
walruses, seals and fish," the "Sea Mother" explained to the boy. The "Sea
Mother" then tells the boy she will educate him about the reason the ice is
thinning.
A "snowy owl" informs Tore that "the planet's heating up" and that both the
Arctic and Antarctica "are warming almost twice as fast as elsewhere."
Next, a polar bear informs Tore that it is hungry because the ice is too
thin to stand on and hunt and the bear says that other bears have "starved"
because the sea ice went out to sea.
After a whale appears to present more climate fear, the boy finally screams,
"Listen, I've had all the bad news I can stand. Our world is melting. Polar
bears are starving and all sorts of animals won't survive. I don't want to
hear anymore!"
The "Sea Mother" tells him of the dangerous effects that an oil and gas
based energy system has on the climate and the "Sea Mother" singles out the
industrialized world as the cause of her predicted climate catastrophe.
Finally the "Sea Mother" tells Tore that the solution to the climate crisis
can begin in his Arctic village by "setting up solar panels to get
electricity from the sun, and modern windmills to capture the energy of the
wind."
