The following is an excerpt from an 8th grade geography textbook issued to students in New South Wales, Australia. It is assuredly typical of others throughout the Western world.
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence that the planet is warming, there are still people who deny that is a result of human activity. The most vocal of these deniers are conservative political thinktanks and the right-wing radio 'shock jocks.'

Fortunately, a new generation of world leaders is taking global warming seriously. In the United States of America, President Barack Obama is working to reduce America's reliance on fossil fuels and is providing leadership in international efforts to reduce CO2 emissionsā¦In Australia, the Rudd Labor Government is legislating for a Carbon Pollution Reduction Schemeā¦.
The deliberate rotting of young minds by these educrats is nothing less than a crime against humanity. I have no reservation about saying they should be held to account in the worst possible way once the artificiality of their elite, protected status is made readily apparent.
These excerpts are such brazen and unashamed political propaganda, promotion of scientific fraud as scientific fact, that words can't really even adequately describe the scale of the crime. That they can so freely and blatantly present opinion as objective fact is furthermore a testament to just how successful they have been in stamping intellectual curiosity from the minds of their captive charges, because a truly educated mind would immediately want evidence to support such claims.
