This is in fact more enjoyable than bringing them to summer classes and enroll them to dancing or art classes. This is really an excellent way of teaching the kids how to be socially responsible.

Let's hope that these ideas end up in our children developing wonderful new eco-friendly technologies, so that idling in the parents pick up lane actually wouldn't be a problem. That kind of thing is merely preventitive, or reactionary. We need to have proactive things as well : such as eco-friendly cars, so that we can idle and not have to worry about a thing. And that's the real next step that needs to happen here. Some great ideas there to get kids started.

And having a reversed axis might motivate climate change scepticists to say: "Look, the scientists are trying to hide something, it's all a big lie"; but actually it's not so. CO2 might have not been the most important "initiator" of climate change / global warming in the past, but we seem to be "nominating" it for this role this time. There's a really nice article here: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/04/the-lag-between-temp-and-co2/ and it includes quotes from numerous studies. Cheers, Oliver Yes, the lag between is sometimes “annoying”.

In fact, the reverse is true: Ice core samples show that rising temperatures precede rising CO2 by several years. This is inconvenient to the authors' premise but they have pledged to correct the graph in subsequent editions.

I would like to see educators take the lead and start educating children. Howver, I do know this is a sticky issue. I live in a very conservative Republican US state and I know that many parents here would be angry to see schools teaching about climate crisis. But if they can teach about evolution then they can teach about this issue and perhaps just give parents a heads up so they can opt out for their child if they want to. It is a darn shame that some parents would want to keep their kids in the dark. Hi Jonathan,

Could I interest you in posting such a viewpoint on the site I am supporting? We are trying the reach out to people on the real issues - while it may seem a bit tech driven, we are wanting the site to open up to the youngsters as well. Wouldn't it be great to get their opinion on how they should budget their energy consumption in the same way that they might get help how to budget their family budget? Just an idea.

It begs the question how school kids can be sensitized to the issue of climate change when they do not have parents who are aware of the issues. Does it come down to the education authorities to start teaching the topic. What do you think? Great to hear about the new book – thanks.
