WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Public concern about global warming is evident across all age groups in the U.S., with majorities of younger and older Americans saying they worry about the problem a great deal or fair amount. However, the extent to which Americans take global warming seriously and worry about it differs markedly by age, with adults under age 35 typically much more engaged with the problem than those 55 and older.
* 70% of Americans age 18 to 34 worry about global warming
* This compares with 62% of those 35 to 54 and 56% who are 55 or older

Some portion of the “worry” about global warming, may be worry that the global warming BS will result in wasted money and giving political power to leftists.
I worry about that.
The AGW propaganda in the schools is relentless and no dissent is allowed l saw it first hand.
Sorry to those of you who have children (I don’t) but as they said in the time of Plato, the young ones are going to the dogs and don’t know what they’re doing.
As the purported Winston Churchill saying: “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with any voter.” Try discussing mature topics with a millennial or younger.
Disturbingly ignorant but arrogantly confident.
Agree. Gallup has never contacted anyone I know.
Yes and their cell phone.
If they are really worried about this, you’d think they’d think it thru and realize that the solution to carbon emission is nuclear power. You’d also think they would abandon composting. That just emits more carbon dioxide.
I think studies have shown a decline in human intelligence over the past few decades. Can’t find the source but I did read that.
Actually we can jump to the ending: “David Hogg.” Now we don’t have to go through the statistical proofs.
That’s because Public Schools are propaganda and indoctrination machines these days... that is why these kids are worried, they have no capacity to critically think and have been indoctrinated since they were 5 to left wing lunacy.
Older Americans were taught proper science and we know Gore-Bull Warming isn’t science.
Younger people have been propagandized and only know the propaganda.
The “problem” of carbon dioxide is easily solved.
Everyone who believes it to be a “problem” stops exhaling it.
Problem solved overnight.
Which is why the libs want to give them the vote.
About 20 years ago I waited for my nephew in Sarasota to play a laser weapon amusement place game. He said “why don’t you try?” I declined because I said I thought red laser beams were going to be found harmful to eyes in the future. He said confidently “That’s not true. If it were harmful this place on the guns would have a government warning. There is nothing written there, so they’re safe.” See? Young people 100% trust only the government so global warming has to be true. Easy.
Correction: younger Americans most brainwashed
Less educated, poorly informed, brainwashed, inexperienced and foolish.
Nothing has changed. Be good stewards of the land and treat it with respect. Nothing bad will happen that has not happened before.
There is really nothing new under the sun just a new generation to learn it all again.
Life is tough, its even tougher when you’re stupid. Don’t be.
Younger people haven’t been around long enough to notice that none of the doomsday predictions ever come true.
“Disturbingly ignorant but arrogantly confident.”
The David Hogg types come to mind.
“Disturbingly ignorant but arrogantly confident.”
The David Hogg types come to mind.
They’re the most indoctrinated.
Next question?
‘That’s because Public Schools are propaganda and indoctrination machines these days...’
for the record, private schools on average are no better...any entity dominated by females (which is just about everything today) will generate stuff like this...
Yutes are always more liberal than people who have actually had to raise yutes.
