Pushing Fear: Panicked CBS Touts ‘Climate Anxiety’ Among Teens for Earth Day
Newsbusters.org ^ | 4/22/2021 | Scott Whitlock

The journalists at CBS This Morning on Thursday used Earth Day as an excuse to promote fear, touting “climate anxiety” among teens. The reporters also, yet again, hyped alarmist Greta Thunberg and her campaign to enact draconian, expensive global warming laws.

Talking to young environmentalist Georgia Wright, who has a podcast, co-host Anthony Mason pushed the idea that young people should be emotionally unstable over climate: “Georgia, you discuss climate anxiety in the podcast. We heard Julianna mention feeling her chest tighten when she talks about this. What do you mean exactly climate anxiety?”

Before that, reporter Adriana Diaz talked to Thunberg, promoting her expensive agenda: “The message is that while individual actions are important, sweeping change needs to come from governments and corporations. At every opportunity, the 18-year-old pushes leaders to follow the science, pointing to the pandemic as a model for swift action.”

FFS! Obviously critical thinking is well gone by this point. The kiddies have been so brainwashed they buy all this crap just like the "hole" systemic race lie. Lying liars and the lies they lie.

Media induced anxiety, would be more accurate. They’re using scare tactics to control the younger generations.

Julianna should stop using ANY "fossil fuels".

Sure, she'll get a little cold and hungry - but I hear freezing to death is very peaceful...

We need a new “day” to celebrate the importance of many of the pressing new issues that our young woke people are confronted with!

Call it “Crap Day”.

It’s not just the media creating the panic of Orson Welles creating the War of the Worlds.

It’s public school, academia, big tech, cultural influences, activists, and in many cases our elected leaders.

It is almost a miracle if a kid can reach their 20’s today and not be a brainwashed Karen.

The climate and social justice crap starts when they are toddlers. Don’t believe me? Watch the popular TV shows for young kids. It is chock full of this crap.

I didn’t realize it was erf day. Guess I will go out to my property north of reno. When I bought it there were hundreds of old tires. This looks like a good day to burn some of them

I want to horse-whip every single climate and race alarmist for the mental anguish they have inflicted on innocent young children who are unable to think for themselves on these things and have to take their cues from their leftist parents, politicians, and media.

It is criminal. And it doesn’t look like they are going to pay for their crimes in this world.

Fascist gain power by way of fear, because their ideas can't stand the light of day.

Facts, nor reality are on their side, and they seek to oppress freedom and control the people.

Freedom can only be maintained by a virtuous people and society has been smothering virtue for decades now.

The bank are loaning because they’ve learned that the Fed will bail them no matter how criminally irresponsible they are.

Bill Gates wants to dim the sun by shooting calcium carbonate into the atmosphere. “Experts” swore the US would be flooded by melted glaciers a decade or two ago. And remind us again Algore’s electric bill at his little dumpy house/s.

CORRECT! While that’s yet another problem, if anyone thinks the banks would survive the costs involved in the loss of all the property along EVERY COASTLINE IN THE WORLD, we have a new definition of “MENTAL MASTURBATION”.

No different than THE COMING ICE AGE scare of the 1970s.
