Report: Young People Are Suffering ‘Climate Anxiety,’ Majority Think ‘Humanity Is Doomed’

A growing number of young people are combating “climate anxiety,” and a majority think “humanity is doomed,” according to a study published in Lancet Planetary Health Tuesday.

According to the study, which authors claim is the most comprehensive study in the world analyzing “young people’s fear about the climate crisis,” 45 percent of 16-25-year-olds said, “climate-related anxiety and distress is affecting their daily lives and ability to function normally,” Vice News reported of the study.

Approximately 10,000 young people were surveyed across ten countries, 60 percent of which said national governments are “betraying” the present and future generations by not trying hard enough to save the planet.

Fifty-six percent of people surveyed said they agreed with the statement that “humanity is doomed, “and 75 percent said the future is frightening.

Here is the percentage broken down by country of young people who believe “humanity is doomed.” (Notably, some of the world’s top polluters, like Russia and China, were not included in the list.) :

Australia: 50 percent Brazil: 67 percent France: 48 percent Finland: 43 percent India: 74 percent Nigeria: 42 percent Phillippines: 73 percent Portugal: 62 percent UK: 51 percent US: 46 percent “Our children’s anxiety is a completely rational reaction given the inadequate responses to climate change they are seeing from governments. What more do governments need to hear to take action?”said Caroline Hickman, co-lead author on the study from the University of Bath.

Well there must still be hope since it's only slightly over half. (AKA an "overwhelming majority") Indoc them from pre-K on up and fail to teach them critical thinking skills....................... Here's a homework assignment kids:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

We'll wait..............

A custom face mask 😷 and some new video games should make them feel better.

That’s a very good lesson I don’t have an answer to any of them

My favorite global warming theorist question is “what causes ice ages”

Seriously though my poor kid 21 female was seriously damaged by the indoctrination program she was given she thought the plan it was certainly Glammed and then I just started they saying things like

Important
RINO’s will argue against the pursuit of an audit, citing that the bureaucratic hurdles will likely take years, and our efforts should be shifted to future elections. This is the fallacy of the premise that this audit is about installing Trump into the White House— which the RINO’s claim is our purported goal. IT IS NOT.
The election audit is about exposing the criminal cartel that has seized control of our country. Therefore, we will pursue no matter how long it takes.

You will live

Trust us children. Millions of us lived with the Cold War. We lived knowing any mistake could start a catastrophic nuclear exchange in the next 30 minutes.

Drama, anxiety and panic are all part of growing up.

Well, they got part of it right. We are doomed. Just not for the reasons they have been told.

A Bible and an audio version should make the young people feel informed. The ultimate climate change will be experienced by those who don’t make Jesus Lord and Savior of their life. Only two choices . . .Heaven or Hell . . .choose Life. . .choose Jesus.

If AGW is a Scientific Theory why:

1) Is there more than one model?
2) Is it not predictive?
3) Does it meet no Scientific Theory criteria?

Why shouldn’t they worry?

They have had the communist government-school teachers preaching the faux climate propaganda since the 1970’s...

As the meme goes, a lie retold endlessly becomes the truth...

Retold for 50-years makes it the predominant ideology/religion...

Maybe they should start building their safe place with coloring books and Playdoh and cookies and their blankie and pacifier to suck on.

Whenever i see a climate change/globull warming loon I ask them the same question- if you are so concerned about climate change why are you still part of the problem rather than being part of the solution? I remind them every day they wake up and take a breathe they are killing the planet- according to their standards.

I inform them once they jump off a bridge to become part of the solution, and lead by example, i will then take their concerns seriously and I will change my ways.

Most turn around and walk away in shock.

I always like to ask these global warming nuts: what caused the last ice age and what caused it to end?
