From News.com.au - 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 mental health.

Climate change as a "Doomsday scenario" is being taught in classrooms across Australia.

Resource material produced by the Gillard government for primary school teachers and students states climate change will cause "devastating disasters".

Australian National University's Centre for the Public Awareness of Science director Dr Sue Stocklmayer said climate change had been portrayed as "Doomsday scenarios with no way out".

Dr Stocklmayer said she was not a climate-change sceptic but worried that "too much time was spent presenting scary scenarios, especially to young people".

"(Children) feel incredibly despondent and helpless in the face of all this negative information," she said. "To put all of this before our children ... is one of the most appalling things we can do to (them).

Child psychologist Kimberley O'Brien also said the language of climate change should be "toned down".

"(Educators) should stick to the facts," she said.

"They should be aware that kids do have nightmares."

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said the government would not stop the teaching of climate science, despite moves in Britain for the subject to be withdrawn.

In order to save readers wasting time clicking the link, the above is a direct cut and paste from the tabloid 'Daily Telegraph', with absolutely no original input from sbr108, except for changing the title. The original title is "Australian children are being terrified by climate change lessons", which has been altered to "Eco-Nazi Propaganda".

Now why would anyone do that?

Ever heard about the original sin?

Today I learned that our parents have, through their greediness destroyed this eco-system. Because of this the sea will rise and my doggy can't swim.
Both my grandparents and my parents (and also my uncles and aunties) wanted, selfishly, to have more children than this planet can carry... and so I was born, in sin!

I am therefore terribly guilty for coming here and I am very bad for adding the biomass (whatever that means I'm not sure) of my body to this world, also for not jumping under a car and dying (but if I do this then mum will cry and i don't like her crying), but no worries - Teacher said that if I pray to Julia she may grant me absolution (I think it's a kind of a shampoo), then I'll go to heaven where there's no CO2.

Sounds more plausible than being sentenced to age and die for eating an apple.
What's the worry? The 'Catholo-Nazis' have been scaring the kids even worse for centuries, and they say it doesn't hurt children.

we tried to tell you not to let politricks enter classrooms
[have you noted how much time she spends at schools]

the big red which from oz
[the guile ard/wizzard.of oz]

anyhow i feel i tried to tell you
[recall the lie of evolution...taught to kids]
is a theory masking as fact

its the same same
nothing new

just dont forget
they did it to us too
in time we accept lies as truth
lies that stop us from taking a propper gander..at the proof

when you got no proof..
only a model or a theory

Can we establish a new term similar to that of Godwin's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law) that whenever a person attaches the word nazi to another, such as femi-nazi and now eco-nazi, the 'debate' is null and void and the author of such terms is declared a loser?
