In a recent study in Nature Climate Change, Danielle Lawson, a postdoctoral student at NC State University, and her colleagues found that putting middle-school children in a class about climate change could influence their parent’s views on the subject. The effects were the strongest on conservative fathers—significant because conservative white men have been previously shown to have the lowest levels of climate concern.
Lawson called this a case of "intergenerational learning," or the transfer of behavior and knowledge from children to parents. She thinks their study was successful partially because ideology and political identity have become so conflated with the climate crisis. When the children talked to their parents, it didn't carry the same baggage as if another adult tried to talk to your parents about global warming.
"But typically when a parent is interacting with their child, they don't view their child through this lens of having an agenda," Lawson said. "It makes for a unique opportunity to open up conversation in a way that we struggle with in normal day to day life."

Ooh, that's a loaded question! Depends on who "we" means. I hope the climate changers just kill themselves and get it over with. Then the rest of us can live out our long lives in peace without their incessant nagging.
one can wish,
but I’m so terribly concerned don’cha know?
It’s the skeptics who are climate change radicals, not the warmies.
I watched a video of an interview with Freeman Dyson today. 90 plus years old and still sharper than than his opponents.
Well, let’s see, 18 months from July 25, ‘19 it should be, ahhh, about January 21st 2021.
AKA inauguration day.
So, if Trump wins the election the Progressives win because he won’t be president anymore and if the DemonRat wins the election we win because the DemonRat will never be president.
In any case, just in case I forget between now and then, Happy End of the World Day to you! :)
Yeah, I guess, well, sweet!
AOC scientific assessment of the end of planet earth is exactly 529 days left until we no longer exist.
Red Ted Danson said the oceans would be dead by 2000.
Obamajugend are graduating “collige” now.
oops that is The Prince Charles count down clock to the end of the earth. 529 days left until we no longer exist
You ever notice that the solution to global warming is always taxes and banning this and that, and it’s never to planting more trees to absorb CO2?
I’m already radicalized!
I can’t believe that anyone believes any of that climate change nonsense. (Ask a liberal, that’s a radical view!)
Indoctrination.
Oh, sheist, does that count today ?
Bottom line the warmists will pivot to US temperatures as global temperatures drop more.
dang, I only lived life 1/2 fullest today!
I wonder how many of those kids survived the war.
