Conservative Kids Item ID: #474The Sky’s Not Falling!: Truth About Global WarmingProduct Information:
Item DescriptionThe Sky’s Not Falling : Why It’s OK To Chill About Global Warming” is for parents sick of seeing their kids indoctrinated by has-been politicians and Hollywood stars. Unlike books written by would-be celebrities without any scientific or economics background, “The Sky’s Not Falling” is everything a book about the environment written for kids should be : fact-filled, apolitical, fun and optimistic about the future of our magnificent, ever-changing planet. In “The Sky’s Not Falling,” author Holly Fretwell, a natural resources management expert, shows kids ages 8 and up that human ingenuity combined with an “enviropreneurial” spirit will lead us to a bright environmental future, not one where people ruin the earth. Parents confronted by Photoshopped pictures of drowning animals and faux “documentaries” will embrace a book that educates rather than manipulates. Holly Fretwell brings real credentials to the debate, giving kids the scoop not just about global warming, but the real-world consequences of the Left’s responses to it.

This book is terrible and utterly false! Global warming will affect everyone in a negative way. There is no way we can “just live with it” without all suffering serious consequences. You are trying to brainwash the minds of young children. This is what will really happen. 1. The world will heat up. 2. Because of this icebergs will melt, flooding coastal towns. 3. Because of this polar bears, seals, and penguins will die. I don’t know how you got this book published but I certainly won’t be reading it or recommending it to anyone I know!
I read this book because i wanted to hear a different opinion about global warming.After i finished reading it i realized that it was just another case of a human saying ”We didn`t do it,so we don`t have to fix it.” Although the author was right,global warming is a natural process, she forgets to mention that humans are making the process go much faster.I was also not surprised when i heard that the author was funded by exxon and is not actually a climatolagist. I would not recomend this book to anyone because it supports inaction in a time when it is far better to be safe than sorry.
Go right on and buy it. Now buy every other book you can find that is designed to discuss politics and current issues with children. Then sit them down and have them watch the news.
How do you feel when you think or talk about political issues? Frustrated? Angry? Indignant? Hopeless?
Congratulations, you’ve just dumped your adult miseries onto your child.
I was taking a look at this book, and then the reviews. Like one I read on another site, I wonder if most of the negative reviewers even read the books. I skimmed through it and one of the biggest points I noticed. Was not to truly attack global warming. But how people deal with environmental issues. And she is right. We, as a collective, look to the government to solve the problem. She is against this. And I can tell you one reason why she is right.
Rewind about 100 years ago. Something we take very much for granted now was just being invented; something that would truly change the world, something that was believed to be so physically impossible, that is wasn’t even given a patent for several years. Even though the government was funding one engineer to invent the very same machine.
With virtually unlimited resources, this well know engineer, worked for sometime to invent this machine, and at his grand test… Failed, miserably. After that, is was thought to be impossible…yet… two relatively young, bicycle repairmen of all things, went to a little known place in north Carolina… and did the impossible. They flew… no government funding. No army of engineers and work me, Just two men with a dream, and determination.
What this book is suggesting, is we need to teach our children, how to learn. How you look and see things for them selves. And to use their own minds creatively. And that is how problems will be solved, the global warming basis is purely and easy way of doing this. Since all we hear is, with some exaggeration, “the sky is falling” but when you look deep into the science. Much of what is said. Doesn’t work, and the rest. Is open for interpretation. Thinking for your self, Is the only solution.
While it’s always important to examine all sides of an issue, overall this book scares the daylights out of me. It encourages children to ignore the obvious signs of our planet’s distress. And THEY, even more than their parents will be the ones to suffer for the neglect. Even GWB is beginning to talk about the consequences of such ignorance. Don’t be swayed by this false science that, as it turns out, was paid for by Exxon, who had this book published.
