With every turn of phrase, I've had to remind myself that we must never underestimate a child's intelligence, or their capacity and eagerness to learn something new.But as I struggled to explain concepts such as, say, the albedo effect, chlorofluorocarbons and the Milankovitch cycles, I was forever troubled by a central question: what is the right age to tell a child about climate change?

Their lawsuit argues that the government discriminates against their marriages and infringes on their constitutional right to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment. Topix.net1 2 |
