Internal documents reveal that the Heartland Institute, a right-wing think tank funded by the Koch brothers, Microsoft, and other top corporations, is planning to develop a 'global warming curriculum' for elementary schoolchildren that presents climate science as 'a major scientific controversy.' This effort, at a cost of $100,000 a year, will be developed by Dr. David E. Wojick, a coal-industry consultant. 'Principals and teachers are heavily biased toward the alarmist perspective,' Heartland's confidential 2012 fundraising document bemoans. The group believes that Wojick's project has 'potential for great success,' because he has 'contacts at virtually all the national organizations involved in producing, certifying, and promoting scientific curricula.' |
