Beating Science into a Bloody Pulp
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy asks: Want to combat the “science” your child is taught at school? Sign up now to receive a free digital copy of A Parent’s Guide to Countering Green Ideologies! They offer the hole in the ozone layer as an example of green propaganda.
The hole in the ozone is very small at this point, but not via an act of God, or some natural cycle, but because atmospheric scientists in the late 20th Century were able to pinpoint the cause of the hole (CFCs). These are any of a class of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine, typically gases used in refrigerants and aerosol propellants.
Humankind successfully replaced these chemicals with other formulations, and the problem was solved in a matter of a decade or two.
I’ve signed up to receive periodic updates from the Mackinac Center, as I’m interested to know how it (and other right-wing organizations like it) are working to invalidate science, and ultimately remove it from our schools. I’ll keep you posted.
