Climate alarmism is "robbing" young Americans of their hopes and ambitions for the future, a geochemist and university professor said.
Dr. Matthew Wielicki, a University of Alabama earth sciences professor, believes many STEM professionals overstate climate change's immediate effects, like warning of imminent and unavoidable catastrophes. He said such alarmism harms students' mental health.
"They’re only giving one side of the story," Wielicki told Fox News. "They’re catastrophizing or over-exaggerating that side to try to make a point because they claim the ends justify the means."
"I think scientific integrity is way more important," he said.
Wielicki believes political ideology infiltrating college classrooms, particularly diversity, equity and inclusion and climate alarmism, has tarnished the teaching profession. He said young climate activists, like Greta Thunberg, aren't the problem since they're only believing what they're told.
"I never blame the young people," he said. "I blame the adults that are experts in the field that sit and zip their mouths because they don't want to rock the boat."

As it’s supposed to...............
It’s more like Leftist abuse.
I believe in liberal alarmism - it is “robbing” young Americans of their hopes and ambitions for the future. They’re catastrophizing or over-exaggerating everything to try to corrupt the young because they claim the ends justify the means.
Facilitated by parents who don’t care what their children are taught. Free baby sitting.......
It’s robbing them of brain cells.
Then they go off to teach kids , go to law school, or work for the government.
when climate science jobs pay more, isn’t it a wonder that more students want to go into such line of work.
There hasn’t been ANY global warming in many years... mean old rich blowhards and buffoons like to scare people because they’re bored. It’s not much more than that...
It is education malpractice—parents should sue them all...
“I blame the adults that are experts in the field that sit and zip their mouths because they don’t want to rock the boat.”
OK…but that’s an incomplete answer. Why don’t they want to rock the boat?
They want to continue getting paid…and they can’t get get paid unless they acquiesce to the orthodoxy of the American/Western Tyranny.
Whether it’s those employed in academe, journalism, Wall Street, Hollywood, the police, the military, law, corporate board rooms, sports and athletics, banking, utilities…they are all mercenaries aping the dictates of Western Tyranny in order to keep food on the table, the mortgage paid and the house heated in winter. America is a nation of mercenaries to the permanent political oligarchy. Land of the free, home of the brave.
This could be applied to so many situations today.
It's terrible what they are doing to destroy the hope of young people.
Then again TPTB don't care. They want young people chipped, tracked, and forced to be the elitist billionaire's slaves, who own nothing, and they better be happy about it (See: George Orwell's "1984" book).
Exactly - it’s a feature, not a bug.
If the wind changes direction, can that be considered climate change?
"Climate alarmism is 'robbing' students of hope, ambition, earth science professor says"
Teny Sahakian's article doesn't necessarily read like global warming propaganda, and the title of article could have been better worded imo.
Dr. Matthew Wielicki seems to be condemning lack of objectivity with institutional teaching indoctrination of climate alarmism.
And it remains that there have been no responses to the question why lots (millions?) of ordinary people have experienced when greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 fail to hold the heat down under the shadow of a midday solar eclipse of an otherwise warm sunny day.

Also, is it any surprise that nighttime temperatures typically keep dropping in various places until shortly after sunrise?
Yes, weak adults have let children run amuck across all industries and sectors to include and especially in government. Adults are supposed to appreciate youthful vigor and temper it with logic and reasoning.
Fake disasters on fake news peddled by libtards
And the big fear for students in the 1970s was THE COMING ICE AGE! We should be under a mile of ice by now.
The ice age is coming, the sun’s zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
‘Cause London is drowning
I live by the river
Climate thuggery must be defeated.
