What is the US Senate Doing About Climate Change

They are monitoring the content of children's books, that's what.

New UN Children’s Book Promotes
Global Warming Fears to Kids

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2006



Nairobi, Kenya – A new United Nations children’s
book promoting fears of catastrophic manmade global warming is being
promoted at the UN Climate Change Conference in Kenya. The book's main
character, a young boy, is featured getting so worried about a coming
manmade climate disaster that he yells “I don’t
want to hear anymore!” The new children’s book,
entitled “Tore
and the Town on Thin Ice”  is published by
the United Nations Environment Programme and blames “rich
countries” for creating a climate catastrophe and urges
children to join environmental groups.



The book is about a young boy named Tore who lives in an Arctic
village. Tore loses a dog sled race because he crashes through the
thinning ice allegedly caused by manmade greenhouse gas emissions. The
book features colorful drawings and large text to appeal to young
children.



After the boy loses the dog sled race, he is visited by
“Sedna, the Mother of the Sea” in a dream. The
“Sea Mother” Goddess informs Tore in blunt terms
that the thinning ice that caused his loss in the dog sled race was due
to manmade global warming.



“I’m the one who created and cares for the sea
creatures – whales and walruses, seals and fish,”
the “Sea Mother” explains to Tore. The
“Sea Mother” then tells the boy she will educate
him about the reason the ice is thinning...

I followed a link from href="http://scienceblogs.com/nosenada/2006/11/how_the_senate_landscape_shift.php">Kevin's
post to find this gem.  He was posting about the
recent inaction of the Senate on the issue of global warming.
 Of course this is just another example of the do-nothing
Congress in (in-)action.  Rather than use the taxpayer-funded
site to disseminate useful information, they post reviews of children's
books.
