Most of the young folks are doing virtually nothing to reduce their own carbon footprint, but, they’re totally worried
More than half of young people surveyed think ‘humanity is doomed’ due to climate change
Global citizens under the age of 25 roundly believe that governments are letting them down when it comes to an aggressive handling of global warming and dangerous weather — and they’re fed up with being told to meditate to cope.
Nearly 60% of young people surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” worried about climate change, and 45% said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life and functioning, according to a study published Thursday in the science journal The Lancet Planetary Health.
See? They have the chance to practice what they preach, but, no, they want government to force everyone to live the climate cult life, failing to realize that all these restrictions and taxes and fees and such will negatively effect their own lives.
“I grew up being afraid of drowning in my own bedroom,” said Mitzi Tan, a 23-year-old from the Philippines, who was featured in the study’s report. The query included 10,000 participants aged 16 to 25 across 10 countries: the U.S., the U.K., France, Finland, Australia, Portugal, India, Nigeria, the Philippines and Brazil.
“Society tells me that this anxiety is an irrational fear that needs to be overcome — one that meditation and healthy coping mechanisms will ‘fix,’” Tan said. “But that erases the accountability from those who are directly causing this fear. At its root, our climate anxiety comes from this deep-set feeling of betrayal because of government inaction. To truly address our growing climate anxiety, we need justice.”
It is irrational. And those who are accountable are the climate cult elites who are stoking doom and gloom on a constant basis.
Three-quarters of respondents said they believe “the future is frightening,” and 56% felt “humanity is doomed.”
One question in the study asks about their feelings. Most are angry, sad, anxious, afraid, but only 50% feel guilty. Not guilty enough to make changes in their own lives, of course.
Not surprising, when the propaganda constantly assumes them it’s so. Virtually none of them have the critical faculties to think outside their little box, and the “educational” system will continue to dumb things down until all wrongthought is eliminated.
Many old old people are not worried about the climate in 2050
Or even 2035,the year when car and truck manufacturers expect to end production of fossil powered vehicles. People their 50s and 60s will all be in nursing homes by then
Conservatives bitch about our educational system but few are willing to enter that profession
Even after retiring from their first job
Maybe Trump University might reopen for a more politically right wing education???
The college teaches insanity. The teachers are nuts. The system is broken and a few people are not going to save it. Charlotte Iserbyt, listen on YouTube, read the book
Deliberate dumbing down of America.

My experience with young people has been different. Our straight out of university employees are mature, responsible and smart. And yes, mostly left of center, but barely. They seem more concerned with fulfillment and happiness than survival. They welcome diversity, equality, immigration, environmentalism and true freedom – all hated by nuconservatives. Perhaps we have given them the freedom to consider a more distant future. They seem optimistic that they can make changes. The “job” of nuconservatives is to squelch that optimism and instill in them hatred and fear. This may explain nuconservatives’ support for guns in schools.
And yes, many if not most thoughtful HS and university students question the wisdom of unfettered capitalism. The “job” of nuconservatives is to suppress their future votes and enact a permanent right-wing authoritarian regime. It’s one reason the right is in such a rush to end American democracy – they fear “the people”. Better hurry, these kids are growing up.
nuConservatives hate the education systems because free thought is anathema to the objectives of nuConservatism, i.e., authoritarian control, oligarchy and plutocracy. Today’s education system is no longer a white, christian, conservative, corporate training ground. They teach critical thinking.
Kids today learn more and at a faster rate than we did.
Speak for yourself, dipshit, you haven’t learned anything and you prove it with every comment you post.

I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could’ve been any clearer
