"Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable:" DeSantis's Florida Approves Climate-Denial Videos in Schools

Yes, Ron, everyone knows Clean Coal™️ is the one true source of non-pollution.

Is anyone stupid enough to believe this?

Damn, America's really fucking dumb.

Remember this when Florida is flooding.

But I thought it was the left that's indoctrinating children?

That's what they need to convince their base in order to get them to support their indoctrination schemes. They've convinced so many people that simply teaching science and history is leftist indoctrination, and they need to combat it with their own propaganda.

"attacking solar and wind because “their batteries break down and become hazardous waste”"

My solar array has no batteries, it powers the house during the day and generates 2x to 3x the power which is fed back to the grid which gives me credits that pays for the energy we use after the sun goes down

My "electric bill" went from over $100 a month to $13, which is really just the associated taxes and fees.

I guess nobody explained that setup to him.

PragerU has produced anti-climate policy videos since shortly after it began in 2009. The Prager foundation has received millions of dollars from the billionaire brothers, Farris and Dan Wilks of Texas, who made their fortune in fracking.

PragerU has received additional funding from foundations that oppose climate regulations such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

PragerU CEO Streit said her group has tapped into angry parents who want their politics reflected more in classrooms.

Yup.

Reminds me of how Trump has been going after wind farms for a long time. He claims they're noisy and they're killing all the birds. (He began saying this when Scotland wanted to place Wind farms near his Scottish golf resort)

I somehow feel this will backfire spectacularly. Younger kids can be dumb like the rest of us, but there is one thing they are exceptionally smart about: spotting and mocking lame-ass adults.

There is already little tolerance among (a lot of) younger folk for climate denialism and general right wing jackassery. Adding a cut-rate Donald Duck screeching about The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or how windmills are dangerous is just gonna’ cement the lameness for them. Now, if we could just do something about the grown-up idiots on Facebook, we’d be cooking.

The thing is Mother Nature does not care about the American political and social divide. I just wonder how future generations are going to view us, how our prevalent negligence for the planet is going to be portrayed?

Florida students who want to go to college in other states will need months of remedial education to catch up.

Is the SOB trying to burn the planet down or what? That's criminal. I wish those POS could be held accountable for the dangerous ideas they push.

Florida kids are going to grow up and leave Florida and be like “What the fuck?” Why is the rest of the world different from what o was taught.

reminder: the greatest things you can do to help the environment: Go Vegan; Don't have kids; if you can, walk/catch public transport/cycle.

This dude isn't just grifting, he's actually just straight up evil.

I'm a parent and I sure af would not tolerate this fucking corporate propaganda being forced on my son.

1940s Germany wants their leader back.

It always amuses me how politicians and community “faith based” leaders can blithely condemn what scientists have been warning about for decades, as if they know better (with no training or experience). Anti-intellectualism is the Dunning-Kruger effect applied to politics, known as Populism, aka the idiots revenge.

Mask of apocalyptic cult arrives.

This world is fucked! Sometimes i wake up and can't believe I put children in this fucked up world. It's like a fever dream.

Has The Onion crossed over into real life?

He sure likes wearing his sponsors on his sleeve.

He's finally gone far enough out there that I now see this as more amusing than alarming. I'm sure I'll get snapped back into anger soon enough, but I'm gonna enjoy this break from reality while it last. Clownfuck.

Wind and solar power Ron DeSantis pollutes the Earth and makes life miserable.

Instead of discussing this at such an abstract level, Does anybody have a link to the actual material to form an informed option?

What a silly argument could someone against climate change activists come up with

2010s Florida kids in about 80 years:

Well, we’re gonna start teaching kids about the different types of power sources and their pros and cons, I sure hope we starts pushing more education about nuclear.
