Global warming angst among young rises
In the sixties it was the bomb that kept teenagers awake at night. Today it is climate fear. You might think the sixties generation was the more 'out there'. But that would be wrong. The bomb or WMD was, is and remains a very real threat. The argument over what has caused the minimal amount of GW we have experienced is far from settled on any serious scientific level - and thus can only be classed as a theoretical threat at best. Thus it is the rising angst among today's teenagers over the state of the planet which is the more 'out there'.
But the evidence in consistent reviews over recent months is without doubt that fear of GW is causing worry and even a lack of sleep for our young people. The suffering this is causing is thus yet another 'unseen' cost of the alarmism being spread by GW hysteria.
NB. But all is NOT lost among our youth! After a sixth-grade debate where the evidence on both sides of the global warming 'humans are to blame' debate was heard, a 'jury' of peers concluded that humans are NOT to blame for the earth's warming.
