Children's Comic Strip Again Mocks 'Kooky' Beliefs of Global Warming Skeptics

"You Can With Beakman & Jax," a science comic for children that appears in 300 newspapers across the country, once again propagandized to young readers on Sunday. The May 2 edition featured a question from an E-mailer on who "writes myths." Artist Jox Church editorialized, "There are modern myths, too. Lots have to do with politics, like the kooky myth that global warming isn't real."

Church, who also created the TV show Beakman's World, has repeatedly used his comic to lecture children about climate change.

In an Otober 5, 2008 strip, he responded to a question about how erasers work. Church digressed, "Back in the 18th century, [Joseph] Priestley was a reverend searching for proof in the natural world as a way of proving his religion. That meant he already knew what he wanted to prove and gathered evidence to support that belief. This is also how some folks now fight against ideas such as global warming."

In the December 13, 2009 comic, Church chided a young reader, yet again, on climate change: "It's important to let other people know how you feel." Supporting an alarmist environmental website, he encouraged kids to deface public property: "In San Francisco, my friend Michael Hemes and I printed out back-to 350 stickers and put them on stop signs."

"You Can With Beakman & Jax" isn't the only example of attempts by global warming activists to influence children. The April 18, 2010 Mini Page, which reaches 500 newspapers weekly, touted radical environmentalist Rachel Carson as a hero. (Carson promoted the discredited belief that DDT caused cancer. Millions died across the world when it was usage was stopped.)
