No wonder they are anxious. From the time they enter Day 1 of Pre-K in the Public system until they move the tassel over on their mortarboard they are inundated with lies, insinuations and half truths on the subject of anthropogenically caused climate change. They must be terrified! Just one more reason for honest and legitimate funding of education by government and true school choice.

You said exactly what I was thinking! Our grandchildren have been brainwashed in school from the first day, with pressure (of course!) from governments. Why wouldn’t the kids be worried?!! Scientists who say the opposite or state any good news are criticized and ignored! Just more of the sick stuff going on these days. 😡😡

Well stated Daryl and YES ... It used to be called the Education System(s) but that was decades ago.

I think frankly this goes back to some time in the 1970's and it has been progressively getting worse and for the last (at least) three maybe four decades Education no longer that morphed in propaganda, lack of science and a lot of fear.

SO NOW ... Its the PROPAGANDA SYSTEMS.

OH... And indeed .. FOLLOW THE MONEY ... Just ask the likes of Al Gore or Canada's fraud PM Carney about that one.

Always listen carefully to the propaganda... You will almost always hear the words... "CRISIS", "CATASTROPHE", "EMERGENCY".

How many times now since the mid 1900's has the world been predicated to end by now?

We have indeed now raised at least two, perhaps three generations of children (now adults) whose depression was induced by a few selected facts (twisted to purpose) and piles of BS and Propaganda.

CO2 follows a warming planet as we exit that last mini ice age. In other words, a warming planet is not manmade and is part of the natural biorhythms of the earth. Man is not warming the planet. It's not anthropogenic. The fear mongering about climate is a trillion dollar industry making politicians, scientist, NGOs and corporations wealthy. The financial investment in the climate change narrative is too great to abandon for those who are invested in it. That's the problem.

Ironically it is those very wealthy corporations and NGOs that are responsible for the emissions they are so obsessed with.

Actually, if you spend a good amount of time watching and reading the experts at the CO2 Coalition, you learn that CO2 has not followed warming at all, it only is made to look like that because the cherry-picked parts of graphs that are used. Warming has been steadily rising well before, hundreds of years before, CO2 even came on the radar. Same with glacier melting. And this century, temperatures have stabilized on average. Looking at even longer term trends, it appears completely on point (looks the same as all the other peaks before it) and like we could be headed back down into another mini-ice age any time soon. I think maybe that's why the oligarchs are so desperate to move things along ASAP, before we figure it out. But most important thing I learned: even if CO2 doubled, it would barely move the temperature gauge. It can't. Not scientifically possible. So why are we pushing bugs and EVs and reducing natural gas and quality of life, and 15-minute cities and carbon credits to track and trace us when CO2 is completely irrelevant?

Like you know for sure. It is possible but we will not meet the gas emmisions level reduction subscribed…we must adapt to the biorhythms you mention because humans squabble to much and cannot work together

Truth is, according to the experts in the field of climate-reality based on actual facts, not models, we are in a CO2 famine. We actually need more if we are to survive the next mini-ice age.

Antidepressant use is high with weak individuals. One only needs to look out the window to see that the “climate crisis” is a hoax. But worrying yourself due to financial issues is probably more prevalent. Time spent worrying is time wasted. Do something about your financial situation. Training, education, moving to another area where there is work.

J. Meyer's avatar

A 30 year old hope and theory. Everyone, including myself, hoped planting trees would go a long way to offsetting fossil fuel consumption. That didn't happen to any significant degree.

The 2023 wildfires released nearly one gigatonne (one billion tonnes) of carbon dioxide, far exceeding Canada's total emissions from all other sources combined that year - 6 or 7 times the emissions of the oil sands.

Check this link for forest fire acreage lost annually. Our forests are drying out and burning as they are in many other parts of the world. If forests and other land data had been included in our emissions levels we would have been heavily sanctioned by now.

Agree, our forests are burning. A large issue is poor forest management. Also our firefighting equipment is non existent. We need major investment in water bombers etc.

Go to CO2 Coalition. Forest fires trend has greatly decreased since the 1900s. Get the facts. We are being psyop'd, just like during cvd. Also, most of the fires are being deliberately set. It has nothing to do with CO2, but may have something to do with geoengineering that is stressing the trees and changing soil pH. I've watched the expert in the US speaking about the anomalies in how many of these fires are being set, or how they're burning. Somethings just don't add up compared to historical fires. There is also the reality that our armed forces since cvd has been decimated, and they play a huge role in firefighting. In other words, much of the destruction you see is man-made alright, but not from emissions. The expert from Nova Scotia talks about fires left to burn while teams of retired firefighters willing to work were ignored. BC talks of fire crews told to stand down and let homes burn. There's something going on, and it feels like it's intention is to scare the population.

The lucrative Climate Change industry is causing anxiety driven by constant media hype, though it's not based on scientific evidence.

Yes the climate is changing but it has been changing naturally and constantly for millions of years.

But some want to use this natural climate change to make a lot of money and drive their ideological agenda.

As a small child my father told me the sun would explode in thousands of years. To me, that was like saying next week we would be blown up and burn. Thats how people are looking at this "climate" change now. Its going to happen next week. But none of the media remember to add, "stop countries that are pouring out the pollution by not buying their goods".

I have 40 years of diaries recording daily temps and weather. Its really not that much different each year. Yes some but they used to talk about El Nino effect etc. And people build huge houses on the shore or rivers where once, only the poor lived there because they knew storms and flooding do occur. They are still building big housing estates in areas that are flooded in 10 year cycles because people forget and people make money out of poor memories. And the weather network stopped using the graph that showed historical high and lows. Just in case people look at it and say, "well its not much different from last year"

A warming planet is bad news for the parts of the world that are already hot and dry. It’s certainly possible that parts of India and such places will become uninhabitable at some point in the future. News flash: Canada is not one of those places. Canada is a very cold country. Overall, a warmer Canada is a good thing, not a reason to take antidepressants. We can mitigate negatives, but we can also look forward to longer growing seasons and other advantages of a slightly warmer Canada.

Reduce the population in those areas you will reduce many global problems and not just in climate but all the cultural problems everyone inherits through migration, spreading the problem out does not solve anything, cultural or otherwise.
