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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Over 70% of children aged 7-12 have parents who are not properly teaching them.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

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.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

. 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.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
