When it comes to the Cult of Climastrology, most things have been some degree of failure. They’ve made prognostications that have almost entirely failed over the years. They’ve barely gotten governments and citizens to practice what they preach. They have been very successful in getting schools, politicians, and the media to provide a constant litany of doom and gloom, making the kids fearful and neurotic

Eco-anxiety: 75% of young people say ‘the future is frightening’

Although scientists have been warning of the peril of global warming and climate change for decades, leaders across the world have been slow to respond, casting doubt on humanity’s future. More than anyone else, that future belongs to young people.

According to a new survey led by researchers from the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, most young people are worried and angry about what they see ahead. It is a future they feel should have been, and still could be, prevented by an older generation not doing enough to prevent it.

The survey questioned 10,000 young people, aged 16–25 years, in 10 countries. The countries were the U.K., the United States, Australia, Brazil, Finland, France, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Portugal.

Overall, 75% of young respondents said, “the future is frightening.”

Additionally, 45% said that worry about climate change is affecting their daily lives and functioning. And 59% characterized themselves as extremely worried, while 84% said they were moderately worried.

OK, if the future belongs to the young, let’s slap restrictions on them, say, everyone under 30. No fossil fueled travel, have to live in tiny homes, hit them with lots of carbon taxes. All the stuff in the graphic.

Better yet, let’s hit them with the reality of the situation, that this warm period is nothing unusual, it’s happened many times in the Holocene period alone, and Humanity has done just fine each time. That most of the warming is natural, and a lot more is simply localized from land use and the urban heat island effect. That there are things we can do better, but, that we are not looking at ecocide, mass extinctions, dozens to hundreds of feet of sea rise, catastrophic temperature increases. Everything will be fine. And that people are using the scare of anthropogenic climate change to manipulate the kiddies and have government control their lives. That’s the point of this whole scam.
