This is a continued discussion of

Americans Least Green ..... And Don't Care

[AmericanSamurai]

“Global warming” is science after all. Political Science.

[ebersole]

Ah I see the author of the study Jon Miller is continuing the liberal meme that global warming is now to be called climate change. As a GenXer...I say Mr. Miller, you’re a fraud and we don’t really care too much for frauds.

[NRA1995]

Wow, I agree with them on something.....whatever!

[FlingWingFlyer]

It appears that donations to the Sierra Club are down.

[chrisser]

I'm not sure that this theme...

"You'd be concerned about global warming climate change if only you weren't a drooling moron."

...is going to do much to rally the masses.

Longitudinal Study of American Youth Since when is Gen-X considered 'youth'? I'm a 42 year old woman with two grown children. (one married) And I'm a 'youth'?? People born in '61 are in their 50's now. How is that 'youth'? Talk about condescending BS.

"...Even with most of the country mired in a historic drought, a spate of storms that left millions without power in the mid-Atlantic, and seemingly more frequent natural disasters..."

Maybe them there GenXers figured out that weather has nothing to do with Global Warm, er, "Climate Change"

“Even with most of the country mired in a historic drought, a spate of storms that left millions without power in the mid-Atlantic, and seemingly more frequent natural disasters, people have better things to worry about than global warming, according to a new study of Generation X-ers,” writes Jason Koebler of USNews.

My critical thinking skills go into hyper drive when I read things like this. Call it a "spidey sense".

Right off the top, what is the historical context? How many times have millions been left without power? And the big one, what is this "Seemingly" crap?

[MNDude]

Gee, we were first warned back in the late 1980’s that global warming was going to doom us all in a couple of years. Nothing’s happened. Are we supposed to be scare for our entire lives?

[ChiefChris]

Nuclear Holocaust, drug resistance diseases, the Rapture, famine, overpopulation, polution, ozone hole, global cooling, global warming. I’ve been told all my life the world is going to end tomorrow. Really, after nearly 50 years of this crap, how can I take any of this seriously?

[DustyMoment]

The group is “uninformed about the causes, unconcerned about the potential dangers, and doubt it is happening,” writes Hank Campbell on the blog Science 2.0.

Whew!! I was getting concerned that the leftists were beginning to back away from their propaganda hoax!! Thank God the Sierra Club isn't letting it go - we still have some leftists left to ridicule!

[FreedomNotSafety]

Nice to know I am a “youth”. I am a member of natal class of ‘62 which means I was taught about THE NEXT ICE AGE.

Since actual measured degrees of warming or cooling or ocean rise or glacier retreat or...never mind, has not induced panic the green loonies have redefined the terms of the debate to property damage, power outages, and lives lost.

They cannot lose based on those metrics since population increases and government incentives to live in disaster prone areas will continue to boost those numbers.

But then isn’t that exactly what they want? Less property, less power, and less lives?

[apillar]

As a Gen-Xer I can safely say that having grown up thinking that a Soviet nuclear missile was going to explode above our heads any minute and turn us to dust, it's hard to get worked up about the slight possibility that the temperature go up a couple degrees over the next century.

[Disambiguator]

According to The Generation X Report...the demographic group born between 1961 and 1981

I thought that the Baby Boomers were born up through '65, and beyond that was Gen X?

My birth year falls in that time frame, and I'm having an identity crisis right now.

Even if the “threat” was real, most of the USA is a cold barren tundra 6 months of the year. So it is always going to be a hard sell for them. The thought of not-so-cold winters is not an unpleasant thought.

LOL....you can fool some of the people some of the time, Jonny Boy
