Poll: Students Living In World-Ending Fear From ‘Alarmist’ Climate Change Teaching

More than half of teenagers think the world will likely end in their lifetime because of climate change, as parents warn of the dangers of “alarmist” teaching in schools.

Climate change education in schools is feeding anxiety among children and putting them off having families of their own, research has suggested. [emphasis, links added]


A poll carried out of more than 1,000 sixth-form pupils [ages 16 to 18] in March found that 53 percent believe it is “likely” that the world will end in their lifetime because of climate change.

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
