So your point is basically to teach your kids to be climate change deniers? And your supporting evidence is a reading list of pop-science books none of which were written by actual climate scientists? Sounds like you need to apply a bit more of that "Critical thinking" you're going on about, as if your reading list is anything to go by, you're not really being all that "critical" but rather seeking out sources of information that confirms your existing biases.

You are professing a religion when you're talking in terms of "climate change deniers". It is the same primal urge which makes people call others "anti-vaxxers" even though they've had the full spectrum of vaccinations except that single one. Us versus them, good versus evil, the chosen versus the damned. I prefer to think and live in more than just 2 dimensions, the third one making it possible to take some distance and study the subject. My daughters don't believe the world will go under in a climate catastrophe, nor should they. They also learn to respect their environment. They do not crave after plastic trinkets or the latest phone. I'm fairly sure our "energy footprint" is lower than yours so if anything I should call for you to "repent, sinner!". But I won't and I'll grant you your religion just as long as you grant me the freedom of it.
