Being a teenager sucks. It sucks even more when the world is literally on fire. But today's youth aren't sitting by and watching it happen. According to a new poll by the Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation, 57% of US teenagers are afraid of climate change when asked how climate change made them feel. But in the same survey, 54% of teens also responded that they were motivated and 52% said they were angry. One in four has already taken action in the form of a school walk-out, protest, or by reaching out to a government official, according to

I see that critical thinking is not a part of today's curriculum.

Teenagers aren't "doing anything about it". Walking out of school, or talking to a government official is not "doing anything about it". Turn that ac up to 80, the heat down to 60. Concerned teenagers won't want a car, will live in high rises near work, so they can walk there, use the bus, eat broccoli and forsake meat, live in communes so they can share resources. Now that is "doing something about it". I encourage all leftists to live this way.

Brainwashing works. We have proof positive. If these same people would teach our teens about The Constitution, Bill of Rights, Our Founding Fathers, and other subjects like that we would be a far better nation.

They should try reading the bible. "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Speaking of Christ, Colossians 1:16-17. He holds it all together by His mighty power. All things. People are very vain to think they can control this glorious Universe.

Fear not, snowflakes! The very idea of man-made climate change is a hoax, a lie fabricated by lefty political con artists of the worst kind.

Doubt its as bad a the media makes it out to be. A lot of kids are smart enough to know BS when they see it. Also a lot of kids don't care because they are wrapped up in drug use.

Child & elder abuse - plain & simple. Scare the dickens out the poor kids and make them angry & anxious. They will be angry at their elders and anxious that the world is going to end. People are so conned & cowed by this stuff. I have have seen grown men worry over getting tiny scraps of paper & plastic into the right recycle bin. Ack!!

Where are the parents? Aren't they talking with their kids about the facts? Why are they sending the children to colleges where the goal is to break down everybody, break apart the morals and ethics learned from the Family? Why aren't parents going to school board meetings and making sure that schools teach curricula which will prepare the children for life in the real world?
Meet the left's acitivism with our own

One in four is pretty much the left side of the bell curve. By the way, if "the world" is on fire, I'm not noticing it where I am.

#9,#16- Precisely. Scripture renders man-made “climate change” an unconscionable man-made deception.
Genesis 9:14-16 – “It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth,...”
Job 28:25-27 – “When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure, When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt, Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out.”
Proverbs 3:19-20 – “The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up And the skies drip with dew.”
Jonah 1:4 – “The LORD hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up.”
Matthew 8:26-27 – “He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?’ Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. The men were amazed, and said, ‘What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?’”

Refuse to use the parents' car, take your bicycle to school, plant trees and bushes around the house to soak up your CO2, refuse to see movies that have stars who travel on private planes or own yachts with big diesel engines. Most of all, LEARN REAL SCIENCE. Those actions may get my attention.

The nuttiness deepens. Taking action means protesting or left wing political activity. How about turning off all your electricity if you really believe this stuff?
