‘Eco-Anxiety’: Vogue Advises Parents On Kids With Climate Change ‘Nightmares’
newbusters.org ^ | 7/29/2019 | Gabriel Hays

Vogue Magazine published a piece over the weekend detailing just how hard it can be for children to live in a world doomed by global warming. Talking about “eco-anxiety,” the article claimed that some children are dealing with debilitating fears of world-ending climate change. Vogue tried to offer tips for parents trying to dispel such fears, but we think a much clearer solution would be for dingbat parents to stop convulsing about the world ending in 12 years or that we are all doomed because of greenhouse gases.

Clearly, it’s traumatizing children now. Seeing little Johnny screaming in his sleep about climbing thermometer readings is definitely a sign of these whacked out times if we’ve ever seen any.

Vogue claimed, “Studies show that 45 percent of children experience depression after a natural disaster. Eco-anxiety in children is a real thing, and it’s relevant now more than ever.” Eco-anxiety, specifically, is a “type of worry or fear focusing on environmental destruction,” and for those kids whose climate change fear “is at a level serious enough to interfere with their lives,” a loving parent must step in to give them healthy options for dealing with it.

Like teaching them the importance of “recycling.”

Think they're having nightmares now? Wait until great the green gets here on the sailboat and scares the bejeezus out of them. Their parents are administering a form of child abuse to my little pea brain. Just posit these easy to answer questions:

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.

I’m so sick of snowflakes and their fake anxieties. When I was in the 2nd grade in S. Florida I spent a small portion of each day under my desk for bomb drills due to the Cuban missile crisis. I don’t remember me or any of my friends having nightmares over that.

Oh, there you go again, asking questions environmental wackos can’t answer.

They did the same thing to us in 1990 when I was a 6th grader.

Terrified the crap out of me.

Parents need to educate their kids, not let the propaganda go unchallenged, that they are exposed to in schools.

ROTFL. Those wacky lib progs. If your kid is having “climate change nightmares”, I would advise you to take them out of public schools and home school them.

According to the "Manifesto" the Ell Paso shooter was inspired to kill by reading the pro-environment/ anti-corporate messages in The Lorax

I remember the ice age and ozone hole fearmongering, and it did bother me until my brother gave me a subscription to ‘aviation week’ and I read that the source of the scary ozone hole data was a satellite. There weren’t any satellites up there that could have even been up there long enough to see a trend or tell us it wasn’t perfectly normal. Once it had been up there it looked seasonally normal as far as anyone could tell. The teacher quit regurgitating that swill when I started citing AvWeek all the time, I don’t think he was sold on mademade climate change in the first place but was just putting it out because it was in the curriculum.

Just tell them it’s a hoax, and pray for people who tell lies.

Environmentalists are doing everything they accuse conservative religious people of.

“You’re scaring them with stories of the end of the world to try to make them convert/obey.”
“You see the end of the world in everything.”

Liberals have appropriated the Book of Revelations. Seas turned to acid, air coked with ash, famine, plague, pestilence, death. But they have no hope of redemption, just obey the various poverty mandates and sacrifice your children to LIVE.

That’s aside from the few who appropriated the myth of the Garden of Eden. That if you just got rid of everyone but the few sacred true believers, we’ll have a paradisical garden where no one suffers, animals live in peace, and life is perfect.

Those are the ones who will become bioterrorists one day, given their cheering mandatory population control and wishing there was a plague that killed 90%+ of the population.

heck a ten years ago my grandaughter got all upset and crying when her father was ‘hurting the trees’ when they were clearing out the woods!
No thanks to schools indoctrinating these kids to hug a tree!
