This is what the Cult of Climastrology has done to kids, turning them into mental messes, and now many are in college

College students get emotional about climate change. Some are finding help in class

More than 50% of youth in the United States are very or extremely worried about climate change, according to a recent survey in the scientific journal The Lancet.

The researchers, who surveyed over 15,000 people aged 16–25, also found that more than one in three young people said their feelings about climate change negatively affect their daily lives.

The study adds to a growing area of research that finds that climate change, which is brought on primarily by the burning of fossil fuels, is making young people distressed. Yet experts say there are proven ways to help young people cope with those feelings — and college classrooms could play a key role.

“When any of us talk about climate with students, we can’t just talk about what’s happening in the atmosphere and oceans,” says Jennifer Atkinson, a professor at the University of Washington. “We have to acknowledge and make space for them to talk openly about what’s happening in their own lives and be sensitive and compassionate about that.”

Or, the teachers could teach their subjects, not act as therapists for climademented children. Oh, right, the same students who use vast amounts of fossil fuels and energy themselves to travel around taking selfies and videos to upload, as well as using vast amounts of energy to stream videos and music.

“Students repeatedly say that the most helpful aspect isn’t anything they hear me say,” says Atkinson. “But rather the experience of being in the room with other people who are experiencing similar feelings and realizing that their emotions are normal and really widespread.”

Or, they could make their own lives carbon neutral rather than being squishy. But, really, I blame adults for the ever growing insanity in the kiddies. They did it to Millennials, and have now done it to Gen Z and are going after Gen Alpha. It’s a doomsday cult. One that continuously looks to drag more people in by making them fearful.
