It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Positive Climate News for Kids 2018


Polar Update and SLR 2018







Explorer completes historic Antarctic trek - spoiler alert - it was freezing even in the summer.

Given the above it is not surprising to hear that Sea Level Rise is not proceeding at the catastrophic pace that some would like us to believe since the biggest source of rapid rise would originate with melting ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica. But they aren’t melting.



The Maldives and other small island nations are safe.


It is 2019 and they survived. None disappeared.

Perhaps the ‘experts’ lack expertise.

The kids need to be educated with this good news. Is it child abuse to do otherwise?


Kids: here are some more facts. Relax. No need for tears. The world is not going to be destroyed by your Mom switching on a light or driving you to soccer practice in the family SUV. There is no crisis despite what Nancy Pelosi says.















The climate trend news is all good. We are NOT going to burn, starve, drown or be hurled about by monster tornadoes due to anthropogenic climate change.

Consider that your elders may NOT know what they are talking about!







Although there will always be examples of unwelcome extreme weather in the world it is NOT getting worse due to the human emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels.

Can you find more examples in the scientific press which contradict the pessimistic doomsday scenarios in the mainstream media? WIll that serve to reassure you that our climate is NOT out of control and that there is NOTHING happening in the world that is UNPRECEDENTED?

Our planet, our home has been around for 4.5 billion years and has seen more extreme climate change than we currently experience. And we are still here!


The above graph takes a look at the last 600 million years. Yes it was warmer in the past at BOTH higher AND lower levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Doesn’t that break the causal connection assigned to CO2 by the IPCC?

Your elders are doing you a great disservice by not educating you to the truth about climate change. The interesting question to ask is: why would they do that?
