State Dept. to Disney: Use “Frozen” to teach kids about climate change
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 23, 2015 | By Marcus Gilmer

2014 was, according to NOAA and NASA, the warmest year on record for the entire world. Locally, it was also the hottest year in California’s history. The world’s climate is changing, at least according to science and data.

2014 was also the year of Frozen, Disney’s animated musical blockbuster about two sisters and a snowman (more or less), amassing over $1.2 billion in worldwide box office receipts and billions more from countless sing-a-long showings, DVD sales, and merchandise since its November 2013 release.

And now, in 2015, we’re learning where these two seemingly disparate facts intersect: the State Department’s Admiral Robert Papp, who heads up everything about the Arctic, recently spoke at the Arctic Frontiers conference in Norway where he unveiled the fact that he had approached Disney about creating a spin-off cartoon with the characters from Frozen to teach kids about climate change.

Papp added that Disney wasn’t on board with the idea given that everything about climate change is kind of a downer, but insisted, “We’re regrouping on our storyline and we still have Disney engaged.”

““We’re regrouping on our storyline and we still have Disney engaged.””

is that SHOWBIZ jibber jabber or official bureaucratese??

I remember the common sense reviews when the move came out and wondered when the DVDS would be in school libraries and become a part of some inane curriculum.

Why is it the State Dept’s job to dictate what to teach kids about climate change?

Overstepping much?

If you want to teach children about climate change, it would be much better to use any of these movies.

Foggy Bottom suggests using characters of an animated film whose plot is centered around, if anything, global cooling, whose best known song is by the character making it happen and about her embracing and using her power to make it happen...to sell the global warming thing.

Brilliant.

Is there anyone, and I mean literally anyone, remaining in senior management in this administration who isn’t a complete idiot?

Our Navy leaders are in the environmental wacko toilet.

According to another article posted at FR yesterday, 2014 was NOT the warmest year in recent history.

Go figure.

Disney animated cartoons are probably the closest thing to science these Climate Liars have.

If there is a Dalton-like minimum in our near future were all going to wishing for some warm years. COLD is way more deadly than Hot.

NOAA and NASA are 2 government agencies. This is what we are paying all these billions of our tax dollars for propaganda to terrorize the public into accepting even more government.
this is from the article:
“2014 was, according to NOAA and NASA, the warmest year on record for the entire world. “

That's a lie . there's more ice than ever at the poles and in Greenland so it's not getting warmer.

This proves government can never work. NASA was set up to do space exploration and they are promoting a global warming hoax and doing Muslim outreach. get rid of 99% of these government agencies now. we are taxed and regulated too much and have an exploding debt .

if you have a private business you think you could afford to pay hundreds of goons to do global warming research? no you'd actually have to produce something that people are willing to pay their hard earned money for and that is a quality product that they want to buy not some global warming hoax report that some goons type up after watching 6 hours per day of porn. get rid of government . gov and the media are the problem.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
