Thanks to decades of leftist infiltration, most college campuses today are completely void of political, social, and scientific arguments that don’t fit into their carefully curated worldview. Scholars and faculty with alternative perspectives need not apply. This of course includes the topic of climate change. From their first day of classes to their graduation ceremony, students are brainwashed with apocalyptic tales of dying polar bears and ever-increasing natural disasters.
You and I both know this simply isn’t the case thanks to the invaluable work of organizations like CFACT and others, but most students do not. That’s why CFACT Collegian Ellie Mercer recently set out to provide her fellow students at the University of Georgia with a more realistic and hopeful perspective on climate science.
Ellie walked around campus handing out informational flyers (pictured below) and quizzing interested students with a series of short questions like:
“Do you believe coral reefs are on the verge of dying out?”
“Do you a warming planet is bad?”
“Do you believe polar bears are going extinct?”
“Do you believe extreme weather events are increasing?”
Unsurprisingly, most students replied yes, citing lies promoted by the mainstream media and their professors. In turn, Ellie masterfully debunked the commonly held environmental myths with ease, citing facts sourced from entities like the United Nation’s International Panel on Climate Change to negate any potential accusations of bias.
Participating students were happily surprised to learn that coral reefs are thriving, polar bear numbers have tripled since the 1960s, a warmer planet means higher crop yields, and that there has been no historical increase in extreme weather events.
Reflecting on her experience, Ellie had this to say, “It was very interesting hearing firsthand how common these climate change misconceptions really are from other students. I am thankful for the opportunity to have spoken with each person and hope they learned something about the climate from me!” Thanks Ellie’s hard work and dedication, which you can watch below, students at the University of Georgia are now equipped with a more scientific and rational point of view on climate science that doesn’t trick or scare them into supporting socialist public policy.
