VP Harris: Young people will ‘leapfrog’ this generation in climate change work because they won’t face the question: ‘Is this real?’
CNBC ^ | February 9, 2023 | By Catherine Clifford

… “Students who are here and those who are thinking about their role in this: You are going to come out and just leapfrog over all of us,” Harris said on Wednesday.

“Because, you know, especially for our younger leaders, the benefit that you have is you’re not burdened by any question about, ‘Is this real?’” she said.

That’s not currently the case, Harris said. “That is great because we’ve been having to deal with some folks who just literally ... we’re kind of like, ‘Have you looked out the window?’”

“Let’s all stay active in this and understand ... this is the planet we’ve got. It is a precious place. It is — it is a place that we have a responsibility for taking care of, and that there is a whole lot of work that can be done,” Harris said. “But the clock is not just ticking, it’s like banging. It is requiring us to move quickly. But there is so much to be excited about in terms of what we can do.”

“When we look at extreme climate, we see that we are experiencing drought around the world,” Harris said. “If people don’t have water where they live, they will leave where they live. If they cannot grow food where they live, they will leave where they live, and they will go to other places.”

That migration, forced by climate change, may lead to conflict, she said.

“And if we think about this in the global perspective, and they will invariably go to places that speak a different language and pray to a different god. And what do you think might happen then? You’re probably looking at the beginning of conflict,” Harris said.

And they’ll never be able to prove they made a difference, because no one every bothered to prove it “was real”

People who are older already know it’s not real, because we can actually remember all the failed predictions from “climate scientists” over the last 6 decades.

Because this generation is 100% indoctrinated. Young people aren’t taught critical thinking anymore.

There is a HUGE generational divide. Older, wiser people know a scam when they see it. Young people are naive and easily taken in.

I’ve talked to a number of under-30s and most of them fervently believe in climate change and that it will cause the end of the earth. On one hand it is astonishing people fall for it but on the other hand it not surprising.

They all seem to think “green” energy will fix it.

They don’t understand how impoverished they will be with ultra-high energy prices for energy that is very unreliable and available intermittently. They also don’t understand that India, China, and Latin America don’t buy into this crap and will have cheap energy which gives them huge advantages in everything. US businesses will simply not be competitive against those countries with extremely expensive, unreliable energy.

They also don’t realize what this means for our ability to defend ourselves. It means the USA will be ripe for the pickings by China.

I hope these young people all get proficient in Mandarin. They are going to need it.

Of course ‘leapfrogging’ starts and ends on her knees.

Climate change is real, but it is natural, not human caused.

Life seems easier when you don’t have to think for yourself after gathering facts.

That was taken out of the school systems years ago. Just do what is trendy or fashionable or the teacher tells you.

Some turnout, a hundred grand
Get with it we’ll shake his hand
Don’t bother to understand
Don’t question the little man
Be part of the brotherhood
Yes it’s chain lightning
It feels so good
