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.

“how did we EVER survive the TRAUMAS of the coldwar nuclear threat hanging over our heads???”

We survived because we could recognize the difference between truth and lies and sought the former.

LOL...I used to run into those foaming loons in Vermont...I gave them the same advice...take a short journey to Quechee Gorge, walk out on the bridge, and vault over the rail. I used to cross the bridge frequently, and would peer over to see if there were ANY bodies splattered on the rocks 165 feet below...I always drove away disappointed. :-(

16 to 25-year-olds are the second most frightened group in America ... right behind most everyone involved with professional sports ... especially “mens” sports.

Apart from Christ, humanity IS doomed. Preach the Gospel.

That is due to the left’s pansification of America’s young via agenda driven school ‘education’

Ask them:

How did the Great Lakes form?

How was the Grand Canyon created?

What happened to all the sea water that once covered Utah, Eastern California, the midwest and southeast?

Don’t hold your breath.

Or when they espouse abortion as a “right” I say to them, “ I agree. Wish your mother exercised hers “.

Jaws drop.

They wonder why there is a teenage suicide increase. It is also the fault of crazed liberal parents. These kids are not allowed to be kids, their minds are being destroyed with guilt and fear. they worry about the planet burning, dying if they don’t have a mask on, if they are white they are evil, if they are black they are oppressed. If they eat bacon they will die of heart disease, must wear sun block or will die of skin cancer. If they go around grandparents they can kill them with COVID. They are scared of strangers. They must declare their pronoun preference at their schools. If a girl dates a boy, it’s abnormal. They are entertained with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TicToc.

In my case, when our daughter was visiting with her seven year old and nine year old, we turned on The Five, Fox News. Out daughter came frantically running into the room, grabbed the kids and took off running to the bedroom. The next day, our nine year old, out of the blue started talking about poor George Floyd, how the police needed to be defunded. My husband said something in defense of the police and the little brat said, “you are a racist.”
