Utah State Board of Education considers removing ‘climate change’ from curriculum

When the Utah State Board of Education meets on Thursday, May 4, they will have a controversial topic to discuss – whether the term “climate change” is too politically charged to be taught to students.
The discussion would affect core standards for elective high school courses, specifically for a meteorology course. According to the board, they want to avoid language they feel may be politically charged.

Party of Small Government, ladies and gentlemen, protecting the populace from dangerous ideas.

Several states and myriad districts throughout the country now follow the Kansas model, requiring textbooks to replace the word "evolution" with "change over time."

I can only imagine how the teachers will have to twist themselves into pretzels when students attempt to discuss climate change in class.

While I find it dangerous in principle that such a fundamental aspect of biology needs to be quelled for the politics inserted by the right, it doesn't directly affect our day to day lives. But, slippery slope again, when you convince a voting block that the scientists have an agenda about origin stories, it's a small step to get that voting block to doubt science's intentions about vaccines and global climate change.

We need to teach people about the record ice growth in Antarctica

A ten-year-old meme which deniers desperately cling to:

The Antarctic ice sheet's mass has changed over the last decades. Research based on satellite data indicates that between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica shed approximately 150 billion metric tons of ice per year, adding to global sea level rise.

Areas in East Antarctica experienced modest amounts of mass gain due to increased snow accumulation [2012-2014]. However, this gain is more than offset by significant ice mass loss on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (dark red) over the 19-year period.

Not to mention the unprecedented loss of Arctic and Greenland ice.

Who says such things? Only those pencil-neck know-nothing climate scientists at NASA.

Stringing a few words together doesn't result in them containing any meaning, ChatGPT 645.

Sure, if that were the case, but it's not.

The good news is when Repuglicans shut down the space program they'll put all that high tech money into artificial womb research, won't they?
