Scare Fest: Over 70 Percent Of Children Aged 7-12 Afraid Of Climate Change

scared childMore than 70 percent of children aged 7-12 are now afraid of climate change, according to the results of a survey.

More than seven in ten children aged 7-12 are now worried about climate change, research conducted by a UK-based start-up has reportedly found.

It comes amid reports from various experts that children and teenagers of various demographics are experiencing high rates of mental health difficulties, with one school counselor earlier this year saying that anxiety rates have hit an all-time high post-lockdown. [emphasis, links added

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I guess climate change is gonna be a thing for generations to come. Sigh.  Historically, episodes of mass hysteria usually self extinguished over a short time span.  This latest and perhaps most resistant form of mass hysteria is like a societal virus—propagated in government schools, aided by the internet and reinforced in popular culture.

This level of ignorance is a humiliation and affront to human advancement.  They should be ashamed of themselves.

We were afraid of the impending Ice Age back in the 1970s
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Those poor tykes.  Growing up, the only things I had to fear were Nuclear Winter and popcorn balls with razorblades.

What is the gospel? I’ll put it in a sentence.
The gospel is the news that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over all his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
That’s the gospel. (John Piper)

. I know I miss the daily threat of nuclear winter.  But I knew if I just hid under my desk I would be safe from the blast.  So we had that going for us.
