By the time we’re into our teen years, most of us outgrow the need to bully other kids by calling them hurtful names.

It’s pathetic that U.S. politics has degenerated to the point that one of our two candidates for the presidency thinks that deliberately mispronouncing his opponent’s name could win him votes at the polls.  American voters are not children in terms of chronological development, and it’s a shame that some of us don’t seem to have grown up.

I’m quite sure Kamala Harris will not be calling Trump “Don Old” or “Fatso” or “Don the Dummy” or whatever else cruel idiots might get a chuckle out of.

FWIW, the fact that the we may re-elect a man whose constituents are mostly poorly educated is bad, but that our right-wing news media, e.g., Fox News, follows along and consistently mispronounces “KAH-mela” as “ka-MAH-la” should tell you all you need to know about their legitimacy.

From the ad:  “Climate Change for Kids…and Parents Too!” is more than just a book — it’s a roadmap for families seeking to understand and engage with one of the defining challenges of our time. Full of brilliant illustrations, scientific, logical, and theological truths, this resource will empower concerned parents and curious children to navigate the complexities of climate change with biblical wisdom, compassion, and faith.

Exactly what “theological truths” are may be a bit unclear.  First, are we talking about the Christian God, the Jewish God, or Allah?  What about the polytheists, e.g., the Hindus and the earlier civilizations in Europe and Scandinavia?

From the video trailer: Climate change is just one example of what happens when we ignore God’s word and pay attention to man’s word. And yes, the Genesis 8:22 makes his quite clear: “Only God can destroy the Earth.”

Not to quibble about subtleties in the meaning of words, but in no case will climate change “destroy the Earth,” though it’s making life for most of us more difficult and painful than it’s been in the past.

Regardless, if this is what you already believe, I’m not sure you need to spend $18 for a book, however nicely illustrated, that lays all this out across 80 pages.

From the book:  Beyond the predominant theories attributing climate change to human activity, we must also weigh in various factors such as natural cycles of the earth and the sun, which significantly influence climate patterns.

Does anyone really believe that climate scientists, the eldest of whom have been working on this problem since the 1970s, have somehow failed to consider the “natural cycles of the earth and the sun?” That’s some seriously stupid stuff.  The book’s authors should be ashamed of themselves.

Book on How to Teach God’s Word on Climate Change to your Kids

KV Industries appears to offer an energy solution in the hydrogen space, though they refuse to explain what it is.

What we do know from their website is that that their fundamental values are “God, Family, and Country,” and that may be a good intro to uneducated people who don’t have the capacity to understand the scientific and financial issues at stake.

Also, KV is promising an ROI of 100:1 with, again, nothing of substance other than the semi-literate statement below, and the overview at left, almost all of which is completely false.

KV Industries LLC is a new entity in the blue energy playing field. Myself (sic) and Timothy Smith started developing our ideas for the move away from fossil fuels about 25 years ago and have been developing the business model to make it a reality ever since. Our break throughs (sic) are world changing.
