Global warming concerns are keeping children awake at night (Unbelievable!)

Half of young children are anxious about the effects of global warming, often losing sleep because of their concern, according to a new report today.

A survey of 1,150 youngsters aged between seven and 11 found that one in four blamed politicians for the problems of climate change.

Are you doing enough?

One in seven of those questioned by supermarket giant Somerfield said their own parents were not doing enough to improve the environment.

Advert: article continues below É The most feared consequences of global warming included poor health, the possible submergence of entire countries and the welfare of animals.

Most of those polled understood the benefits of recycling, although one in 10 thought the issue was linked to riding a bike.

Pete Williams, of Somerfield, said: "Concerns over our environment dominate the media at present and kids are exposed to the hard facts as much as anybody.

"While many adults may look the other way, this study should show that global warming is not only hurting the children of the future, it's affecting the welfare of kids now.

"By raising awareness amongst today's young, hopefully we are improving our chances of reaching a solution.''

The study marked Somerfield's drive to reduce the eight billion plastic bags wasted by UK households every year.

That should be considered child abuse! The state should remove the child from his home. He sounds like the Unabomber, Jr.

A survey of 1,150 youngsters aged mentally between seven and 11, otherwise known as left-wingers, liberals, and socialists of the garden variety..

Yeah. I think that sums it up rather well.

They forgot to tell them about.....

"Have they no shame?"

The MSM/leftist/commies did the same thing when Ronnie Regan moved Intermediate missiles into Europe in the early 80's which brought and end to the great socialist experiment They had kids having nightmares and not being able to sleep because according to the MSM commies, the world was going to end.

History has since shown that the commies in Russia were backing the MSM in it's brain washing attempts, just as they had funded the anti Vietnam free sex/love in movement which is also documented in the files of the KGB (Nixon was right).

Want to guess who is scaring our kids now?

It's like that environmental crap in the 90's; they were teaching not to use Styrofoam cups in the schools because it killed sea turtles. I call the school administrators and asked when was the last time a sea turtle was spotted in Pittsburgh.

The teacher unions must be disbanded and education must be defunded; when the slop is in the trough, the hogs come to feed, and now they want to eat our children's' brains.

Hey, did that androgynous little shehe just threaten me? Sheesh, it wouldn't be such a hateful little bitter twerp if it would stop for a minute and figure out which sex it wanted to be and then dress accordingly.

>> Have they no shame?


Noticed this on Drudge. And no, they don't have shame.

Hopefully, responsible parents will give children some historical perspective on the nature of the planet and likewise the consequences of 'group think'.

Hold on, we are entering the age of cool people vs. hysterical hot heads.

Have they no shame?

No, Liberals have no morality. The ends justify the means...if they want the end to be global economic redistribution (and that is the only thing Kyoto would achieve) then they will do anything and say anything to achieve that end.

Watch how this kid wouldn't resist the urge to have a
Bling Bling Escalade.

No kidding about that....

I was about 10 when that happened. I was terrified that we were all going to die in a nuclear war. I got over it. These kids will get over their fear of global warming. It's just a phase some kids go through.

[pandoraou812]

It threatened me too. What I am wondering is what it plans to do to us? Nasty looking little monster....That child has issues. I really don't know what I would do if a kid looking & talking like that got in my face.... Is it related to Gore?

[MadIvan]

I suggest all bills for the therapist are sent to Al Gore.

"These kids will get over their fear of global warming. It's just a phase some kids go through."

Yea, but the people doing it to them should be hunted down and burned at the stake; or hunted down and dismembered, or hunted down - well I think you get my idea!

Worse yet, they need to be hunted down and made to drink out of Styrofoam cups from which sea turtles will die - that would be the cruelest revenge of all.

[I still care]

I remember that. I actually remember reading an article about kids having nightmares and anxieties because they were afraid of a nuclear bomb dropping on them.

[JennysCool]

Sheesh, people! It's REAGAN, not REGAN. I've seen that typo one too many times. REAGAN = Great President; REGAN = "Exorcist" character.

LOL! That's about the same level of understanding that some of our politicians show.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the "religion" section?

I hope a spotted owl dies of heat stroke and kills her by falling on her head.
