I have talked to several high school aged youth, as well as some college aged young adults. Most are extremely focused on how "climate change" will impact their life. I blame a lot of the younger liberal teachers for this-I have heard some of their discussions with their students, and I just want to barf. Teachers used to be told they needed to be "Switzerland" and make sure to present both sides, but not tell their students what to think OR tell them what they believe. That idea is long gone apparently. One young high school student was extremely anxious about his "carbon footprint," so much so he was giving his 5th generation farming father all kinds of grief and pushing to sell the farm, as the animals were destroying the planet. This stuff is real-and it is really insane! Another student decided to become a vegetarian and ended up really sick due to not getting the right nutrients. I am so sad for anyone believing the climate change lie. Nobody does their own research anymore. If they did, they would realize this climate hype and change of wording about the climate disaster had been going on about 50 years now-first we were going to freeze to death and have another ice age, and less than 20 years later all the polar ice caps were going to melt and drown all the coastal cities of the world. I am just amazed at what people cannot, or maybe will not, see. Keep your excellent articles coming!

The tree-planting route might be good for a third-grader. Beyond that age, we should respect our children enough to explain to them the truth and expose the climate apocalypse lies. They are being indoctrinated in our schools. Planting a tree won't counter that. In fact, the idea of planting a garden to "use less diesel fuel to grow food” is exactly the type of emotional approach taken by the indoctrinators. The world cannot be fed with home gardens. That's a fantasy that shouldn't be supported. Nor can it be fed without fuel. Fuel is not evil. Don't make it out to be and thus reinforce the propaganda. Abundant, cheap energy, which at this point is fossil fuel, is what lifts people out of poverty. And less poverty means a cleaner environment That's what we should explain to our children. Come, let us reason together. That's what our children deserve.
An afterthought: the tree-planting exercise would be beneficial if used as a moment to explain why C02 is a good thing and not a poison, something basic that they probably aren't even taught these days
This is what happens when life becomes so convenient, so comfortable, that people MUST find something to have greater meaning in their lives. Curious the climate alarmists originate mostly in modern, developed societies.
i hear the gates foundation is working on a pill for climate change anxiety.
of course it won't work unless you stop eating so much, stop wearing so many clothes, stop heating your home over 50 degrees and stop trying to own stuff.
Guilty grandfather but I do my best to allay my grandchildren and childrens fears by explaining to them, that the whole climate story is just a fairytail made up by some wicked old witches and warlocks, and just like in the "pied piper of Hamlyn ", so long as they ignore the whistle, they won't be led of a cliff....! Of course they think I'm joking so I then tell them....you'll be fine, they'll have a " vaxxine" for climate change anxiety before you can blink and you know for sure, there'll be no long term safety testing.....we haven't got time.....!🤷♂️🤦♂️
we should encourage retired philosophy teachers to offer community level classes on formal logic to help people to be able to figure out what is real and what is manipulation. Right now we're living in a world where people only seem to know what comes out of their electronic oracle and it's all bullshit.
I think they'd be happy to do it but that you couldn't give it away.
It would be better to unplug your kids from the entertainment prison, focus them on nature get them out in it. In my almost 60 years the earth was going to freeze, then it was going to burn, all I seen is folks get rich off of it. Here is my climate joke, Knock knock (whos there) YOUR (your who) Your the carbon they what to get rid off. May not be a joke
Why doesn't the solution to ecoanxiety involve investigating the facts about the thing that frightens you? Consider the poor resolution of our temperature measurements and numerous siting issues with temperature stations of record. Note the discrepancies between satellite MSU temperature measurements and ground based temperature measurements. Take the time to learn how the theory of enhanced greenhouse effect works and see whether it's predictive value is high or low. I think for those of us who love someone suffering from this condition, my children are just a bit young for it and the indoctrination here is not terribly strong but I expect to have to deal with this issue at some point, looking into facts together, respectfully to one another, is a good start. I am very anxious myself whenever the first response is 'do something' without stopping to look around. Also stories are very powerful, I like Anthony Watts' story of how he became involved in the climate change debate while innocently working on, I believe it was a grad school project.

Just like when us Gen X'ers were growing up from middle school into college they first scared us with stories of how pollution was going to cause acid rain. Our teachers told us it would be so bad we wouldn't be able to get out in the rain by the time we were adults because the rain would burn holes in our skin. They said it would be so acidic it would dissolve concrete and buildings away. Then they said we were going into a great new Ice Age and the world would freeze over. 30+ years later even though I worried about those things as a young person none of the things they said would happen have happened. So basically climate change is a new story, but the same fear mongering technique meant to scare people into compliance and make certain businessmen richer.
Let's see: people have been bombarded for years with anxiogenic propaganda everywhere and in everything, meant to nudge them into extreme fear of the God-State who has to deliver them from the all-powerful Demon of Enthropy but can't because there are too many skeptics that evade taxes and don't wash their hands... OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!
But they are victims. Don't blame the victims. Who is guilty? The demiurges.
This has been going on for longer than the generation teaching your grandaughter. My daughter, her husband, both highly educated and in their mid 30s with a new baby....they are a product of a post modern university education and their ability to think critically has been erased by their indoctrination. They cannot think outside of a post modern framework....that is the boundary for all their ideas......they are unable to deviate from that framework.....and it's that generation teaching our grandkids.....it's not about IQ but programming. Jordan Peterson is probably one of the best minds in explaining this stuff....my own experience leads me to believe much of what he says is true...there was a famous Russian KGB deserter who also spoke of the communist methods to brainwash the west.....can't think of the name but Robert Malone recently posted on his substack and Gettr. 🙏
When I was teaching college physics (up till about 2019) my students were surprised how "optimistic" I was. I in turn was very surprised how fearful they were of the future, and how sure they were that their existence was a big negative. It made me sad. I tried to encourage them to think of problems as things to solve, not to lament.
Thank you. This is very real. I know some young women who barely believe life is worth living due to this instilled fear and dread.
Parents: ask your kids to show you their TikTok FYP (“for you pages”). I can’t say I know who is behind the algorithm’s feed but the one I saw was horrendous. It was the worst videos and scenes of climate apocalypse and pollution and poverty. No wonder the person who this FYP targeted was depressed and even suicidal. It is criminal!

The future does not look bright...
It must be a real luxury to be worried about stupid shit.

Clarify first: There is No Climate change crisis.

That is the classic globalist playbook: make people anxious about imaginary non-problems so they agree to be taxed even more.
