Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
JS 20 September 2010 - 4:03pm / UK

I think we are certainly frightening them. There is so much misinformation out there, beginning with the widespread failure to appreciate that greenhouses do not get hot by trapping infra-red radiation. They get hot by reducing the amount of mixing with outside air. Add that sort of ignorance, the highly emotional perspective taken by many intent on 'saving the planet', and I fear the chances of children being correctly 'enlightened' are quite low. I am collecting and sharing information on climate materials aimed at children on my blog at: http://climatelessons.blogspot.com.
