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.

Bump.
It is not trademarked/copyrighted/patented so feel free to spread it far and wide. LOL!
And all because they believed the baloney fed them by the Propaganda Machine.
Great points...another is, if the world’s ice is all going to melt and flood all the coastal areas, then WHY IS COASTAL REAL ESTATE NOT DECLINING IN VALUE?
Well, they are partly correct, I will concede them that. Some of humanity is doomed, and will live so in Hell. Others are not doomed. They will live with Jesus in Heaven. That is what The Bible teaches. I will take that authority over Al Gore, Greta, Obama, and "experts" from places like the University of Bath.
...and 75 percent said the future is frightening.
They do have a point - the future is frightening for those doomed by their own unbelief. But not if you know Jesus. If you do know Him, it's going to be a great time!
It has nothing to do with nonsense like "climate change". That is the Devil's lie.
Well they got the “we’re doomed” part correct, it’s just not the climate they should be worrying about.
I am so sorry. You are absolutely correct.
sign the darling up for volunteer work at the local whatever and tell them here is their chance to prove their wokeness...
I think that it is too. Just not the reasons they think. Or maybe it is the reason they think like they think.
The Marxist predators that caused this unnecessary fear and anxiety should be
These anxious snowflake young people have options about whether they choose to live on this earth or not. Just sayin’ ... Free will and all.
They are made to be mentally ill
“...a majority think “humanity is doomed,”...
Send them to FR. They’ll fit right in with FR’s Soros trolls, surrender monkeys and the defeatist, brainwashed old goats.
Can you imagine today’s snowflakes having to conduct duck and cover drills with the sirens and all?
What fun that was.
About 230 million years ago, it rained for 1 million years. Imagine the total freakout nowadays if it started raining and never stopped for a million years.

The author stupidly asserts this irrational fear is rational. In fact, the “anxiety” has nothing to do with climate, everything to do with an unethical and malicious media programming children into being afraid of literally nothing.
Thanks! I’ll keep it handy for the man-made global warming believers on Twitter. LOL!

People thought the same in 1970 with THE COMING ICE AGE hysteria.
***Trust us children. Millions of us lived with the Cold War.***
I remember those years well! The Cuban Missile Crisis had us on real edge! Then it blew over.
Then on Dec 24 of that year, we got a late night TV warning of unknown aircraft coming in over the Dew Line!
The Pucker factor really kicked in! Was it missiles? Russian Bombers? Would we live to see Dec 25?
Then they showed a real chintzy photo of Santa Claus with cotton ball clouds floating by.
I have hated Dec 24 ever since.
***Pelosi wants 16-year olds to vote - in between Tide Pod snacks.***
And adults will be OD’d on LSD and other drugs as in WILD IN THE STREETS.
So why not let pre-teens have the vote?
