Parents should give them what they want, and tell the schools to make the teachers who indoctrinate the kids to do something
Children ‘push’ their parents to fight climate change
The look of the children has a decisive influence on the actions and decisions of the parents. It might seem like a no-brainer, but & mldr; Could it be scientifically proven to be true, for example, when making decisions related to climate change? This is what a group of researchers from the University of Exeter, in the United Kingdom, has studied through a curious experiment developed in Innsbruck, Austria. And the answer is yes’, parents are more aware of the need to act against global warming if they are being watched by their children.
The so-called Individual voluntary climate actions are necessary to reduce the damaging effects of climate change. But provide a benefit to the environment by reducing the individual carbon footprint supposes an economic cost for the individual.
On the basis that people with children are “genetically related to the next generation & rdquor; and they have “an incentive and a responsibility to take care of the well-being of your children& rdquor ;, a group of scientists predicted that parents would be especially likely to participate in voluntary climate actions when observed by their offspring. More than if the looks were coming from other observers.
There’s some weird syntax, I assume from a bad copy and paste, but, regardless, it goes to this study here, Climate Action for (My) Children,
Individual actions—referred to as voluntary climate action (VCA)—are needed to reduce climate change’s harmful effects (Goeschl et al. 2020). VCA takes different forms on an individual level; however, one key unifying aspect of VCAs is that they necessitate incur a cost to the individual to provide a benefit to the environment, a general public good that is largely consumed in the future (Fischer et al. 2004; Diederich and Goeschl 2014; Hauser et al. 2014; Lohse and Waichman 2020). Examples of VCAs include investing in energy-saving technology (e.g., solar panels), switching to CO2-friendly purchasing habits (e.g., buying less red meat), or even engaging in small, everyday behaviors, such as spending less time in the shower (Wynes and Nicholas 2017). In our study, we are interested in VCA that has a long-lasting positive effect on the environment (Layton and Levine 2003; Steinke and Trautmann 2021): we focus on CO2 offsetting, using a foresting program that plants climate-efficient trees, as such programs have become increasingly widespread and available as means for individuals to help reduce their “carbon footprint” (Kollmuss et al. 2010).
Hmm, those aren’t much in the way of actions, eh? How about
Same thing for the adults.
Kids are right. Teach is wrong.
Kids today, and their kids tomorrow, will be forced to live with our profligacy and inaction.
Imagine our parent’s and grandparent’s generations had just said there was no proof that Germany, Italy and Japan were chasing world domination at the tip of a spear. Isolationist Americans opposed stopping the Nazis in Germany. Dictator Roosevelt forced millions of young American men to fight in Europe and the Pacific. Gasoline, rubber, steel, food were rationed by the federal gov’t! The feds used price controls. They forced manufacturers to produce war materiel. Federal debt jumped to over 100% GDP. Citizens were forced to use mass transit instead of autos!
We’ve been asked to use less gasoline.
Except no reason to use less gasoline..
Imagine our parent’s and grandparent’s generations had just said there was no proof that CHINA, RUSSIA and IRAN were chasing world domination at the tip of a spear. Isolationist Americans opposed stopping the Communists in the Pacific. Dictator BIDEN forced millions of young American men to fight CLOUDS< WIND< SNOW AND RAIN and the Pacific EL NINO. Gasoline, rubber, steel, food were rationed by the federal gov’t! The feds used price controls. They forced manufacturers to produce war materiel. Federal debt jumped to over 100% GDP. Citizens were forced to use mass transit instead of autos!
That about sums up the Current Crop of AGW NAZI's running our government today to make billionaires even more richer than they already are. I would love to film some of these rich bastards laughing their asses off at the stupidity of the sheeple they have enlisted to make them even more billions at the expense of everyone in the world.
I absolutely support “Individual voluntary climate actions,” because the key is the adjective “voluntary.” If people want to do things, themselves, because they are concerned about the climate, or for any reason they have, as long as it’s their choice, as long as it’s voluntary, there’s no reason for it to be any of my business.
Just remember, no matter what anyone says, it was the government that stole your freedom, destroyed your businesses, and ruined your children’s future.
NOT unvaccinated people.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Absolutely agree with Dana, nobody is standing in anyone’s way regarding “climate action”. Have at it! Please! If you can convince your relatives and friends to do likewise, fine with me. Just leave me out of it.
But that’s not the end game is it? No more than .gov run health care has anything to do with medicine.
It’s all about using fear to legitimize taking more power and more money from the citizens. Like everything else they do these days it seems. All the frantic arm waving about climate is just to distract us while they further undermine our standard of living. When will that process stop? Well, think about it, at the extreme end you can only reduce it so far, then you’re dead.
The abandoned primary function of national security needs to be addressed. Get that right and we’ll talk. Balance the budget and you may regain some respect.
The day they can figure out how to run the post office properly I’ll be willing to listen to what they have in mind for the prison system. If they manage to fix that then I’ll be a lot more inclined to consider a plan for Federally subsidized solar power that isn’t an utter false economy or a money laundering operation.
In the meantime, try to screw up less while you line your pockets. Just fix the roads, kill the bad guys and leave me the hell alone.
I do my part to help clean up the area I am in.
Every day I pick up one piece of litter that I did not cause. Throw it away in a trash can.
I save water by using the Navy Shower process. I turn off lights when I leave the room. I sweep my lower part of the house to cut down on electrical use. I use low wattage LED bulbs in the house for light. I mow my grass/weeds once a month. I do not water my lawn/weeds. They just grow. I combine my honey dew lists so I just use the cars when needed. I use my own bags at the store.
I read a lot. Saves electricity in not needing a charger.
Since I am whitey, I am still a bad person. No matter how I “save” the Earth.
