Just no - Meltdown, the game
From
Electronic Component News comes this little bit of dystopian news:
Board game indoctrinates kids on global warming
Gotta start �em young.
I�m torn here. As a child�s toy, MELTDOWN � the �first board game that melts� � is extremely clever. I probably would�ve loved playing with the cute little polar bears and fake ice floes. But I can�t ignore the transparent attempt to indoctrinate children on the theory � yes, the theory � of global warming.
GEOlino, a German science magazine for children, designed MELTDOWN to enable its young readers to �experience the effects of global warming � in a completely child-oriented way.� The goal is to take a polar bear family from the melting �ice floes� (courtesy of your freezer) to the mainland. The aim is to brainwash children � about a highly contentious political theory with geopolitical ramifications and trillions of dollars at stake � while they play with ice cubes and sponges.
Not a shred of science, just hype. Since they aren't converting the adults any more, they have shifted their target to kids.
