Canadian schools sent brochures, DVDs from climate change skeptics

The Chicago-based group, the Heartland Institute, said its goal is to ensure that students are provided with a "balanced" education about "an important and controversial issue," but critics, including a leading climate scientist, described it as a campaign of misinformation.

"All the kids in our schools are being taught that climate change is a serious crisis and that we've got to reduce our CO2 and they're being taught (that) quite falsely," said Jay Lehr, the science director at the Heartland Institute who sent the package. "We would like to educate people and basically give them the other side of the issue, so we send out materials only in hope of a little balance."

The Heartland Institute describes itself as a national nonprofit research and education organization whose mission is "to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems. Such solutions include parental choice in education, choice and personal responsibility in health care, market-based approaches to environmental protection, privatization of public services and deregulation in areas where property rights and markets to a better job than government bureaucracies."


"promote free market solutions..." = Business

"market based approaches to environmental protection" = RAPE THE DANG FORESTS AND LOOT ALL THE OIL AND LEAVE THE MESS BEHIND FOR THE DUMB GOVERNMENT TO CLEAN UP !!!!

"in health care ..." = use USA style TYPE ONE NON-INSURABLE for 20% of the population ...just put the guy off in the hall and wait for him to die

"personal responsibility ..." = Joe Averages problem , not us ! That would hurt our profit line !

"And deregulation in area's where ... do a better job than government bureaucracies." = we only insure the healthy, the sick people are out of luck. We only cater to the rich , if you're poor see the part about personal responsibility. We don't do welfare, work or starve, and oh yes we're outsourcing all the jobs to india. We sell guns to every yahoo we can , but it's not our fault if your 10 year old finds it and shoots you, and it's your fault that you didn't hire inspectors that couldn't be bribed so when Katrina hit New Orleans and all the estimates say they could take a Cat 5 storm , but it didn't ... thats your fault not ours."


Ummm...yeah... ok....now we've heard from the GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY crowd, how about someone with real solutions to these problems ?
