Climate change has entered Florida’s battle over education.
The state approved classroom videos that reject the reality of global warming, writes Scott Waldman.
The materials — produced by the conservative Prager University Foundation and geared toward grades K-5 — compare climate activists to Nazis, falsely claim that wind and solar power pollutes the planet, and wrongly dismiss record heat waves as natural weather variations.
PragerU, which bills itself as “the world’s leading conservative nonprofit,” has received millions of dollars from the billionaire brothers Farris and Dan Wilks of Texas, who made their fortune in oil and gas fracking. It has also received funding from foundations that oppose climate regulations such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
The move by Florida’s Department of Education to approve the videos marks a win for Republican Gov. and presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis, who — like leaders in a number of GOP-led states — has aggressively sought to reshape curriculum in African-American history, LGBTQ+ issues and climate science.

The climate change farce is for the most part a huge boondoggle perpertrated on the world's population by special interest groups and ignorant BA degree types who know nothing of real science.
Sure the climate is indeed changing. As a matter of fact it has been in a constant state of change and turmoil since the earth began. It is also cyclic as real science has shown and proven many times over. These changes happen over a geologic time scale, not a human history time scale.
Fact is, if it ever stops changing, that would be a real cause for concern.
