EEK! What are we going to tell the children?

"Global Warming is Hot Stuff!...no pun intended"

I'll offer a more regional look at global warming... if it is indeed possible that this exists.
Yes, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is another state service doing its part to keep younger folks up to speed with the ever-heating debate (hah!) on Global Warming, through a section of its site called EEK! (Environmental Education for Kids!).
They start with a rudimentary introduction, careful to explain that the sun is not evil, but provides us with life and cold Wisconsin winters; in some ways one might say this is a great approach - relating the focal topic to students' immediate surroundings, keeping the tone objective...
Oh wait, I almost forgot! How did this site for kids get past my science studies lens?
Could it be the years I spent in elementary school - in Wisconsin no less - internalizing the settlement of a reality that I had no way of challenging at the time?

Alright, reading on...
"For the past 10,000 years, the earth has had relatively stable temperatures. But, for the past 100 years or so, scientists have noticed the Earth seems to be warming up more than usual. This phenomenon is called global warming."
I think the stakes become clear at this point: whoever the authors are, they know that they can't be 'objective' and support one side of this issue, and yet it seems that they do favor the the science behind the GW argument. So they compromise and put out the science around - what led us to - Global Warming, explaining the Greenhouse Effect, but including little bits of 'what if it's real.' That is, "What might happen if the Earth heats up?" followed by a list of the worst-case scenarios (cue our classmate's GW-disaster-movie montage from last week). What it's missing, in my opinion, is the list of "Who might lose a lot of money if it does, and who has the most to gain?"

The "fact" is, we're doing the kids a disservice by simply "catching them up to speed" without really going into the nitty-gritty, violent, money-driven, twisted struggles that make it possible to 'settle' into this no-win realm of objective storytelling in the first place.
The DNR, and most 'straight-forward education' is skipping a step - and in Comic Sans, no less.
