children.jpgSuppose you knew about a plot whose inevitable outcome would be to undermine the health and well-being of your children, their children, and the next 50 generations. Yes, hundreds of educated people — mostly Americans — are assembling in New York right now for just two purposes:

  1. Sharing the techniques needed to block vital action that could save billions of people from suffering and misery.
  2. Spreading long-debunked disinformation while masquerading as experts who believe in the scientific method.

Well, of course, if you were Fox News, you’d be celebrating the event.

What can the rest of us do about this dangerous plot? Three things:

  1. Get the facts from real climate scientists at RealClimate.
  2. Keep a watchful eye on the conspirators with the help of DeSmogBlog.
  3. Give your children an extra hug tonight.

Remember, it’s all about the children! If you don’t stand up for them, who will?
