Seriously, people, this could damage your kids by making them paranoid. Take heed, I am 32 and I have a mortal fear of storms because my mom rushed me to the basement everytime in stormed. A 32 year old male.
You'll eff your kids up by telling them about this crap and they'll be basket cases by the time they are my age.
As a side note, I don't believe in global warming but anything that stops storms is OK by me!

Exactly. Tell them the world is going to end, and it all their fault!
That should insure years of therapy.

hnmmm......then should we not tell the kids about this fire we're surrounded by this morning. I know, we'll tell em they're imagining the smoke. Thier eyes and lungs do not hurt and were going to the stadium to go camping. oh and no school today because it's an evacuation center. mmmmm........I think theyre smarter than that.
Oh yeah and youre right there is no global warming but it's a sad fact even without the mass fire we have right now that the air is brown and the ocean is even browner and they used to be blue.

Children should receive information in a way that is appropriate to their age. My children began volunteering with me early on, which allowed them to feel like they were doing something good for the world. By rubbing shoulders with scores of naturalists, they picked up some information here and there, and they have had the opportunity to build on that foundation. They are not basket cases by any means, they have become productive members of society, and now my daughter is educating her young son, mostly by exposing him to the natural world in an age-appropriate manner.

Yes it is, especially since a judge in England ruled that many of the alarmist points (some of the dire consequences if we do not stop global warming) are not based on science, but propaganda.

This is tantamount to the hysteria caused by parents and teachers who had kids hiding under desks during the air raids conducted in the 50's. We can look at this retrospectively and laugh at how ridiculous it was.

No more than telling them to be careful not to be run over by a car.
Of course, it would be possible to tell it wrong. But, like most things you try to shield kids from, they'll hear about it anyway.
It's far better to explain it right, to tell them it's not going to kill them, or destroy the Earth, that it's just a problem we're going to solve.

It shouldn't be any different than telling them about other disasters that may occur.

actually it should be considered education.
