Climate change puts a billion children at 'extremely high risk'
France24 ^ | October 19, 2022

Some one billion children are at "extremely high risk" due to climate change harms, a rights group warned on Wednesday, adding that youths' living standards failed to improve in the last decade.

The KidsRights index, based on figures supplied by UN agencies, also said more than one-third of the world's children, some 820 million, were currently exposed to heatwaves.

Water scarcity affected 920 million children worldwide, while diseases such as malaria and dengue affected some 600 million children, or one in every four, Dutch NGO KidsRights said.

The KidsRights Index is the first and only ranking that measures how children's rights are respected annually, ranking Iceland, Sweden, and Finland as the best for children's rights and Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Chad as the worst, out of 185 countries.

It sure does as parents are forced to pay a lot of money to ‘fix’ a problem that isn’t a problem, and which can’t be ‘fixed’ no matter how much money you throw at it as it is entirely natural. Billions of kids now have to go without while cli ate change scam artists get rich off of fines regulations and co2 credits paid by those who are being scammed.

Why are they so worried about climate change for children who won’t be around? After all, they are determined to reduce the earth’s population to around 10% of the current numbers. What’s to worry?!!/s

No, it is the idiot’s reaction to the con that places “the children” at risk.

Children in danger our freezing in the winter and starving in the summer due to the left’s insane prohibitions against fossil fuels.

A billion at risk would be about right.

The 20 year long constant drumbeat of the hoax “we are destroying the planet” drilled into young skulls full of mush causes children to suffer severe mental illness. That illness is a million times worse than invisible, inconsequential, imperceptible, climate change.

Actually it is more like 35 years of the constant drum beat of glo-BULL warming.

Before that, in the 1970s it was a constant drumbeat of
THE COMING ICE AGE caused by pollution caused by US!

From POPULAR SCIENCE, Feb 1980..
PS/What’s News ....
page 73
Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)

“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”

Some one billion children are at “extremely high risk” due to Planned Parenthood / Planned Genderhood harms too.
