A recent study conducted by a team at the Australian National University found 12 and 13 year olds were more concerned about the threat of climate change than adults.

The results showed more than 86 per cent of students surveyed agreed that climate change was something they should be worried about.
Let them graduate and have to be adults, see how they feel. They may “care”, but it will be kinda like how people care about minor things. They mouth a few platitudes, drop a few tweets, then jump in their fossil fueled vehicles to go work at building powered by fossil fuels and nuclear, eating food transported by fossil fueled vehicles, and worry about where they’ll go on a vacation, going on fossil fueled planes.
Even though you’re not 65, do you ever worry about the solvency of Medicare or Social Security?
Even though the national debt is not now harming the economy, are you worried about it in the future?
Kids, grandkids and great-grandkids will bear the brunt of global warming.
Even if it’s global cooling, right?
They’ll bear the brunt of the third-world living conditions you climastrologists want to impose on them.
Kids worry about what their teachers hammer into their heads 5 days a week for 12 years. Shocking.
Kids in my generation worried about nukes. All those duck and cover drills did not instill confidence in the system.
