Earth Matters: Mike Huckabee pushes climate BS on kids; garden at former Texas coal mine feeds 2,000

Mike Huckabee—the evangelical minister, former governor of Arkansas, two-time presidential contender in the Republican primaries, and religio-political commentator—co-founded and runs Ever Bright, a company that markets so-called “Kids Guides” on various subjects, mostly to families who home school their children, although some public school teachers are using them too. Ever Bright has paid millions to Fox News to run ads for the guides, and it also pays for ads on Facebook.

They run the gamut of subject matter, but in an excellent article at Inside Climate News, Keerti Gopal takes special aim at “The Kids Guide to the Truth About Climate Change.” As you might suspect when encountering “the truth about” in a headline on a product from a right-winger who in 2015 said climate change was like “a sunburn,” there are a lot of half-truths and untruths in the guide.
