US >> COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR OF LOCAL NEWS ON ARIZONA PBS - A NEW REPORT SAYS THE PHOENIX SUNS OWNER ALLEGEDLY MADE RACIST AND SEXIST REMARKS.

AND BEHAVIOUR.

>> AND ON CRONKITE NEWS - HOW FIRSTRESPONDERS ARE STAYING UP-TO-DATE ON THE LATEST TECHNIQUES TO SAVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.

THAT'S ALL AHEAD IN THE NEXT HOUR ON ARIZONA PBS.

[ ♪♪♪ ] PSH PSH >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THE NBA IS LAUNCHING AN INVESTIGATION INTO PHOENIX SUNS OWNER ROBERT SARVER AFTER ESPN TODAY RELEASED A STORY THAT ACCUSES SARVER OF FREQUENT AND REPEATED ACTS OF RACISM, INCLUDING USE OF THE N-WORD, AND MISOGNY IN HIS 17-YEAR TENTURE WITH THE TEAM.

THE STORY INCLUDES INTERVIEWS WITH MORE THAN 70 CURRENT AND FORMER SUNS EMPLOYEES AND ALSO ALLEGES THAT SARVER'S BEHAVIOR LED TO A TOXIC WORKPLACE THAT EMBOLDENED OTHERS TO BEHAVE INAPPROPRIATELY.

THROUGH HIS LEGAL TEAM, SARVER RESPONDED TO A NUMBER OF THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE ARTICLE, INCLUDING A STATEMENT THAT, QUOTE: "I'VE NEVER CALLED ANYONE OR ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE THE N-WORD, EITHER VERBALLY OR IN WRITING.

I DON'T USE THE WORD.

IT IS ABHORRENT AND UGLY AND DENIGRATING AND AGAINST EVERYTHING I BELIEVE IN.

THE NBA TOLD ESPN THAT IT HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SARVER REGARDING MISCONDUCT, AND THAT INCLUDES COMPLAINTS ON THE LEAGUE'S CONFIDENTIAL WORKPLACE MISCONDUCT HOTLINE.

THE NBA PLAYERS ASSOCIATION TOLD THAT IT HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM PLAYERS ABOUT SARVER'S CONDUCT.

BUT AGAIN, THE LEAGUE TODAY SAID THAT IT WILL CONDUCT WHAT IT CALLS A COMPREHENSIVE" INVESTIGATION, DESCRIBING THE ALLEGATIONS AS, QUOTE, "EXTREMELY SERIOUS."

OTHER NEWS: MODERNA TODAY WARNED THAT SHIPMENTS OF ITS COVID VACCINES ARE FALLING SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS.

THE COMPANY SAYS IT'S DUE TO PRODUCTION AND SHIPMENT ISSUES.

MODERNA HAD EXPECTED TO SHIP UPWARDS OF 1-BILLION DOSES, BUT THAT FORECAST IS NOW BETWEEN 700-AND-800 MILLION, WITH SOME DELIVERIES PUSHED BACK TO EARLY NEXT YEAR.

ALSO ON THE COVID FRONT: THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TODAY SET JANUARY 4TH AS THE DEADLINE FOR PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS AT LARGE COMPANIES TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19.

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI TODAY WAS ON CAPITOL HILL EXPLAINING THE IMPACT OF VACCINE MANDATES.

>> WHAT WE ARE REALLY TALKING ABOUT ISCONTROL, YOU CAN HAVE A CONTROL WHERE IT'S NOT A PANDEMIC PHASE, BUTS IS INTERFERING WITH WHAT WEIGH WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK TO WHAT WE VIEWED TO NOPE AS NORMAL.

WE'D LIKE TO GET IT TO A LOW LEVEL SO THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ELIMINATED IT DOESN'T HAVE A PUBLIC IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH OR THE WAY WE RUN OUR LIVES.

WE WOULD HOPE AS WE GET PEOPLE MORE VACCINATED IN THIS COUNTRY AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THAT THE LEVELS WILL BE SO LOW, I CANNOT PREDICT WHEN THAT WILL BE.

>> GOVERNORS DUCEY ISSUED A STATEMENT EMPHASISING THAT THE STATE WILL OPPOSE DEADLINE FOR LARGER COMPANIES TO GET THEIR WORKERS VACCINATED.

THE STATEMENT READING IN PART - WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE ALL ARIZONANS TO GET THE SHOT GRANTED FULL APPROVAL BY THE F.D.A.

BUT IS NOT MANDATORY AND SHOULDN'T BY.

OSHA REGULATIONS ARE TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES IN CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM UNSAFELY WORK CONDITIONS NOT INVADE PRIVATE LIVES TO IMPLEMENT AND ADDRESS DANGERS NOT TIED TO WORKPLACES.

THE COVID-19 REPORT FOR ARIZONA SHOWED PA YOU 3500 CASES, WITH TODAY SHOWING AN INCREASE IN THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 20.

THERE ARE 17 FATALITIES, PUTTING THE DEATH RATE FOR 100,000.

22nd HIGHEST.

HOSPITALIZATIONS RECORDED.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S TRENDING A LITTLE HIGHER.

>> TWO NIGHTS AGO THE ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION APPROVED A RATE DECREASE, IT WAS THE FIRST CUT IN 25 YEARS.

A.P.S.

IS THREATENING TO FILE SUIT AND WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS WITH RYAN, WHO HAS BEEN COVERING THE STORY.

THANKING FOR JOINING US, TO HELP US EXPLAIN WHAT THE CORPORATION DID.

FOR A LOT OF FOCUS, THIS WAS A BIG SURPRISE.

WHAT DID THE COMMISSION DO.

>> WELL, THEY GAVE MOST A.P.S.

CUSTOMERS A RATE ADDRESS STARTING IN DISEASE.

IF THE WEATHER IS THE SAME.

AND THEY USED THE SAME AS LAST DEES.

MOST CUSTOMERS WILL SEE A BILL DECREASE.

FIRST DECREASE SINCE 1996.

WHAT WAS THE REASONING.

SNOOP THE REGULATORS ARE FED UP WITH THE COP.

THEY ALL REALLY WERE PUNISHING THE COMPANY, FOR CRICKETING DARK MONEY FOR MAKING BAT INVESTMENTS FOR THE RATE HIKE THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2017 WHICH WAS WILDLY CONFUSING TO CUSTOMERS, GIVING SOME HIKES AND OTHERS SMALL INCREASE, WE HAVE FIVE NOW COMMISSIONERS, AND THEY SLASHED THE REVENUE THAT COULD BE COLLECTED.

>> THIS IS SURPRISING COMING FROM THE CORPORATION COMMISSION.

GIVE US A CONDENSED HISTORY, THIS BEGAN AS A RATE HIKE REQUEST FROM A.P.S.

IN 2017 THEY GOT A RATE HIKE, THEY IMPLEMENTED PLANS THAT MANY PEOPLE AND CONSUMER ADVOCATES FOUND CONFUSING.

THEY FILED A CHANGE FOR THAT, AND THROUGH THAT PROCEEDING WE LEARNT THAT A JUDGE FOUND IT CONFUSING AND A.P.S.

WORKERS COULDN'T FIND THE RATE TO CUSTOMERS CALLING THEM.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A.P.S.

Z A POUR JOB LESSON THEM TO CUSTOMERS, WHEN THEY DID THEY ASKED FOR A 5" INCREASE, AND SO DID THE JUDGE.

THEY RECOMMENDED A DECREASE, AND THERE'S A MILLION DIFFERENT MOVING PARTS.

IT TOOK FIVE DAYS TO GET THROUGH THE ISSUES ON A VOTE.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW COMPLEX IT IS.

SUFFICE TO SAY THE REGULATORS WERE NOT INTERESTED IN GIVING A RATE HIKE.

>> WE TALKED WITH YOU REGARDING THE CORPORATION COMMISSION CUTTING A RETURN ON EQUITY, IT WAS DOWN TO 8.%.

THAT WAS A SURPRISE.

IS THIS DECREASE IS THAT COORDINATED OR ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

>> THEY DID THAT IN OCTOBER.

THEY TURNED BACK, AND TOOK MORE HITS ON THE PROFIT.

THEY WOULDN'T LET THEM INVEST MONEY, THEY TOOK AWAY A FEE.

THEY MADE THEM CHANGE THE ON-PEAK TIME OF USE HOURS, SHORTENING THAT.

WHERE WE PAID THE MOST ELECTRICITY AS A SHORTENED TIME FRAME.

>> AND A.P.S.

WOULD SUE.

>> THEY THREATENED THAT THEY WOULD SUE AND THEY OFFERED A PROPOSAL TO GET OUT OF A WAGE HIKE IN A WAY THAT DID NOT TRIGGER A LAWSUIT.

THE COMMISSIONERS DID NOT LISTEN.

AND DID FLOAT DO WHAT THE COMPANY SAID.

I BELIEVE THE COMPANY WILL SUE OVER THIS DECISION.

>> CUSTOMERS MIGHT SEE LOWER BILLS.

BECAUSE OF HOW WE HAVE BEEN HIT HERE, AND OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE GRID AND POINTS IN BETWEEN, WATCH OUT FOR LATER ON.

>> THEY THREATENED.

SAYING THAT IT WILL COST THE COMPANY MORE TO BORROW MONEY.

>> IT WILL AFFECT THE ECONOMY.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T THINK THE DECISION WAS LEGAL.

BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS, THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHAT THE COMMISSION DID.

BIPARTISAN, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS HAD DIFFERENT ISSUES THEY TOOK OUT.

>> A REPUBLICAN AND A DEMOCRAT VOTED NO.

AND YET OLSON TO THE RIGHT, AND CANNED VERY KENNEDY - THEY VOTED NO, WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT.

>> THEY VOTED NO FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT WANTED TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE COMPANY.

SHE HAD CONCERNS THAT HE WOULD PAY HIKES.

THEY ARE AUTOMATIC RIGHTS THAT THE COMPANY GETS.

THE REPUBLICAN HAD LEGAL CONCERNS WITH THE WAY CUTS BR MADE.

HE WAS ON BOARD, IT WAS HIS PROPOSAL TO SMASH THE RETURN ON EQUITY.

THEY WERE INTERESTED IN PUNISHING THE COMPANY.

AND INTERESTED IN THE VINYL VOTE THAT WAS -- FINAL VOTE THAT WAS HUNDREDS OF PAGES AND MYRIAD ISSUES.

>> FOR THOSE THAT ARE RELATIVELY FLU TO TOWN, HOW UNUSUAL IS TO IT -- NEW TO TOWN, HOW UNUSUAL IS IT FOR THE CORPORATION COMMISSION TO DO SOMETHING LEEK THIS CONSIDERING THE HISTORY WITH THIS PARTICULAR UTILITY.

>> IN THE LAST DECADE THIS COMPANY SPENT MILLIONS TO ELECT ITS PREFERRED CANNED DITS TO THE PANEL PANEL APPROVED THE RATE HIKE.

THIS TIME THEY DID NOT GET WHAT THEY WANT.

>> WHEN CAN WE SEE THE BILLS GO DOWN.

>> SHOULD BE RE DOOFED IN DECEMBER.

THEY REDUCED THE RATES WHERE HIGHER RATES ARE DONE.

IT WILL BE SHORTENED TO 4-10.

IT WILL TAKE SO LOANING, IT WAS A SURPRISE THAT THE REGULATORS MADE THE MOVE.

IT WASN'T THEIR OWN PROPOSAL.

WHEN WE PROPOSE THESE THINGS WE READY TO IMPLEMENT THEM.

IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME SOOX.

>> IN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN THEY CAN FILE SUIT AND ASK FOR A RESTRAINING ORDER.

RYAN, ARIZONA PUBLIC, DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS, WE APPRECIATE YOU BREAKING IT DOWN IN STUDIO.

APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON - HOW ONE ARIZONA TEACHER IS IMPLEMENTING CLIMATE CHANGE INSTRUCTION IN THE CLASSROOM.

>> CLIMATE CHANGE IS TOP-OF-MIND THESE DAYS WITH STORIES ABOUT SEVERE DROUGHT, WILDFIRES AND CYCLONE BOMBS DROPPING TORRENTIAL RAINS MAKING HEADLINES ON A NEAR-DAILY BASIS.

BUT JUST THE PHRASE, "CLIMATE CHANGE," PROMPTS CONTROVERSY.

PRODUCER GRACE PROVENZANO AND VIDEOGRAPHER RUDY ROMO VISITED A LOCAL CLASSROOM TO FIND OUT HOW ONE TEACHER IS SHOWING HER STUDENTS HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> Reporter: IT'S CALLED EXTREME WEATHER, GLOBAL WARMING, MASSIVE FLOODING.

OUT OF THE CONTROL WILDFIRES, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT IT'S DESTRUCTIVE AND DEADLY.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE IS EVERYONE'S CRISIS, WHETHER IT'S THE PRESIDENT OR EXTREME WEATHER EXPERTS, THEY AGREE THAT EDU SITUATION IS THE KEY TO ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> RACE YOUR HAND IF YOU KNOW A SOURCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE >> Reporter: THESE STUDENTS IN NANCY'S CLASS IS TACKLES THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, WITH AN EXPERIMENT ABOUT GLACIERS.

>> IT'S A GLACIER, ARE IT'S CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

>> Reporter: HER STUDENTS RELEASE THATTING IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

THIS CHAFES THEY ARE LEARNING ABOUT THE IMPACT ON THE GLACIERS.

THERE'S NO EYES TO REFLECT LIKE THE SUN.

>> PASSING MATTER.

ONE OF THE MOST TORONTO THINGS THAT HUMANITY IS FACING.

>> MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME SOME, WE HAVE SOLAR PANELS.

>> I'M CONCERN SAID GLACIERS ARE BEAUTIFUL, THEY ARE IN THE OCEAN MELTING AWAY, IT'S AWFUL.

>> LESSONS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ARE NOT MANDATED BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.

SHE TICKS TOE FACTS.

AND TEACHER FANTASTICIES SAYS IT'S A MATTER OF SHOWING YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO THINK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> WE NEED TO GIVE STUDENTS INFORMATION THAT CAN BE PROVEN.

IT'S IMPORTANT NOT THOUGH TELL KIDS WHAT TO KNOW, WE SHOW THEM HOW TO GET TO THE ANSWERS ON THEIR OWN.

IT'S SCIENTIFIC FACT.

WE CAN MEASURE TEMPERATURE, GLACIER LENGTH.

THEY CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

>> ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL OCEANIC ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION OR NOAH.

GLOBAL SEA LEVELS IN 2020 ROSE FOR THE NINTH YEAR.

OCEANS ARE MORE THAN 3.5 INCHES ABOVE THE AVERAGE FROM 1993.

NOAH REPORTS THAT THIS IS A TREAT RESULT OF MELTING GLACIERS AND ICE SHEETS.

AND EXPANDING OVER LAND.

CAUSING AN INCREASE IN HEAVY CHANGE.

>> THERE IS DROUGHT IN MANY PARTS OF WEST AND WEST, CAUSING WILDFIRES.

NOAH METEOROLOGIST SAYS THAT THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY.

>> YES, REALLY IS, IN PHOENIX.

YOU CAN DO OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS.

SO THE DAY TIME TEMP OARS ARE GETTING A LITTLE WARMER ON AVERAGE, NIGHT TIME TEMPERATURES CAME UP A BIT.

PART OF THAT IS DUE TO LARGER SCALE SUPPORTS, WE HAVE THE URBAN HEAT IRONS HERE.

THAT IS KEEPING THE TEMPERATURES UP.

>> HEAT IRONS RECOVERY TO AN INCREASE IN CONSTRUCTION U CONCRETE BUILDINGS HOLD IN HEAT.

CONTRIBUTING TO HOTTER TEMPERATURES.

ALONG WITH FOSSIL FUEL AND NATURAL RESOURCE COMPLETION.

>> IT'S MAKING A THICKER BLANKETS THAT HOLDS ONTO THE HEAT OF THE EARTH.

THE GAFFERS TRAP HEAT SO THE PLANET IS HOTTER.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERY DAY IS HOTTER.

IT MEANS WE HAVE MORE FREQUENT HEAT WAIVES, LESS FREQUENT COLD WAVES, AND MORE DROUGHTS.

>> ASU'S RANDY IS PART OF A GROUP VERIFYING EXTREME WEATHER RECORDS.

>> WHAT WE SEE THAT IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IS HOW FAST THE CHANGES ARE OCCURRING.

AND IN THE AGE OF THE DESIGNO SOURCE, THE WEATHER STAYS THE SAME FOR MILLIONS EVER YEARS, THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE, WE ARE SEEING FASTER CHANGES THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE LAST 1 MILLION YEARS BASED OFF THE CLIMATE RECORDS.

>> REVERSING DAMAGE TO THE PLANET MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO.

EDUCATION AND MIDOCCASION, PRIMARILY USING LESS FOSSIL FUEL.

BACK IN THE CLASSROOM.

THAT IS WHAT THE TEACHER NANCY IS BUSY PASSING ONTO THE STUDENTS.

>> YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE REST OF THE GLOBE, IT'S A DOMINO EFFECT.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS HERE, IT WILL AFFECT OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.

STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE A WORLD CITIZENS, THEY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE HEARING AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.

YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION, AND IF WE GET THEM TO THINK LIKE THAT, THEY'LL COME TO THE POINT WHERE THEY GO OH, OKAY, CLIMATE CHANGE IS SOMETHING I NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO IMPROVE THAT SITUATION.

>> MORE ON THE TEACHING OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN K 12 EDUCATION, WE SPOKE TO SONJA COLLINS KI FROM THE COLLEGE OF SUSTAINABILITY.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHALLENGE K-12, WHAT IS THE STATE OF CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION IN K-12 SCHOOLS NOW.

>> IT VARIES, DEPENDING WHERE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THIS IS AN OR WHERE SOME SCHOOLS EMBRACED IT.

AND IT'S HARDER IN OTHER AREAS, THERE'S A LOT OF VARIATION.

>> ARE WE AT THE POINT OF TEACHING THAT IT'S A REAL THING.

>> WELL, IT IS A REAL THING.

IT IS A REAL THING.

>> I MEAN AT THE POINT OF HAVING TO TEACH THAT BECAUSE THERE'S FOLKS THAT DON'T BELIEVE IT AND THE KIDS DON'T BELIEVE IT.

>> THE THING ABOUT KIDS IS WHEN YOU TEACH SCIENCE TO KIDS, YOU ARE GIVING THEM BASIC PRINCIPLES, AND WORKING THEM THROUGH IT.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AS CONCERNED ABOUT THE POLITICS OF THIS WITH CHILDREN.

IF YOU EXPLAIN THE BASIC PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE - KIDS GET THIS.

THAT IS NOT THE BIGGEST CONCERN.

GETTING THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICS.

>> WHAT WOULD BE THE PHYSICAL CONCERN.

>> WE SEE A PUSH -- POLITICALLY, WHICH YOU DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THIS SPACE.

PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE POLITICIZATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND HOW IT BLEEDS INTO THE CLASSROOM.

THAT IS STRAIGHT NORWOOD TO TEACH.

>> TEACHING THAT IT'S REAL.

DAMAGING, THAT IT'S HUMAN CAUSED.

>> YES, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

AND KIDS GET THERE.

ONE OF THE ACTIVITIES I DID, HAD 300 CHILDREN THAT I HAD TO WORK WITH.

AND I HAD OO VOLUNTEER WHO HAPPENED TO BE AN ELDER IN THE COMMUNITY, AND KIDS LAYERED ON ALL KINDS OF CLOTHES, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE CARS AND PUT A BLANK ON HIM.

AND WHEN YOU FLY IN AN AIRPLANE AND THEY PUT A BLANKET ON HIM.

AND THE KIDS ARE WHOA, WHAT HAPPENED HERE, AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW EMISSIONS I KUM LATE.

AND ALL THE ACTIONS.

WHAT HAPPENED SP GREAT ABOUT THAT, IT GOES TO IMMEDIATELY TALK ABOUT HOW DO WE UNDO THIS.

AND ALL THE ACTION THAT KIDS CAN TAKE.

SNOOP WHAT ARE THE KIDS SAYING.

>> THEY TOTALLY GET IT.

YOU CANNOT BE A CHILD IN AMERICA IT AND NOT HEAR ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> THAT SAID.

HOW MUCH TENSION IS THERE IN DECIDED WHAT TO TEACH.

WITH THE POLITICAL UMBRELLA SHADING EVERYTHING.

>> DEPENDS WHAT SCHOOL YOU ARE IN.

SOME TEACHERS DO NOT HAVE PROBLEMS.

THEY HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SCHOOL BOARDS, AND IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

FOR OTHERS.

THEY WILL BE MORE CONCERNED.

M A WAY TO DO THIS IS TO COMMENT ON THE BASIC PHYSICS, AND TO EXPLAIN HOW TO WORKS.

KIDS GET IT.

THE BIGGEST CONCERN AND HOW SAD THEY GET.

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FACING A ROOM FULL OF KIDS IN GRADE 3 WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FUTURES.

BECAUSE THEY ARE.

AND THIS IS WHAT I THINK IS MORE INTERESTING QUESTION FROM EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE.

HOW DO YOU GIVE CHILDREN THE INFORMATION THEY NEED.

THIS IS THEIR LIVES THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH, BUT THAT YOU DO IT IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T DISEMPOWER THEM OR MAKE THEM FEEL HOPELESS.

THAT IS THE HARDEST ELEMENT OF TEACHING.

>> ARE TEACHERS UP TO SPEED IN DOING THAT.

HANDLING THAT SPECT OF THE ISSUE AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN GENERAL.

FOR TEACHERS THAT I HAVE HAD DIRECT OZ WITH, THE ONES I SPOKE WITH, THAT TAKE IT ON, THEY LOVE THE KIDS THAT THEY WORK W WHEN YOU LOVE THE KIDS THAT YOU WORK WITH, YOU ALLOW SPACE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE FEELING ABOUT THIS.

THAT IS WHERE A LOT OF STUFF COMES OUT.

IT HELPS WITH THE POLITICAL ASSISTANCE.

IF KIDS ARE NOT SCARED.

THEN THEIR PARENTS ARE NOT SCARED.

THINKING OF THE COMMON CAUSE.

IT'S A NATURAL POSITION.

>> IF THE PARENT IS REALLY ANGRY.

THAT'S THE POINT.

IT'S INCREDIBLY CALM.

THE LARGEST GROUP EVER SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD.

>> IT IS THE SCIENCE TEACHER, YOU ARE OBLIGATED.

I THINK I WOULD ENCOURAGE PARENTS.

TOP EVEN OPEN YOUR MIND TO THE POSSIBILITY.

THAT YOUR CHILD'S LIFE COULD BE COMPLETELY CHANGED.

POSSIBLY YOUR PARENTAL OBLIGATION TO THINK HARD ABOUT WHAT IS NOT ONLY IN THE INTERESTS OF THE CHILD TODAY.

BUT THROUGH HIS OR HER LIFE.

AND THAT IS WHERE I THING THEY HAVE SERIOUS OBLIGATIONS TO EDUCATE THE YOUNGEST UPCOMING CITIZENS.

>> INTERESTING STUFF, GREAT CONVERSATION.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> MY PLEASURE.

>> THAT THAT IS IT FOR NOW, I'LL TED SAMANS, HAVE A GREAT EVENING?

THE NEXT HALF HOUR, THE LATEST ON GOVERNMENT VACCINE
