A recent study funded by the nonprofit Avaaz revealed that young Americans are experiencing intense climate emotions due to climate change. The peer-reviewed manuscript published in Lancet Planetary Health examined how young people are coping with climate change and their perceptions of government responses to it.
The study emphasizes the mental toll that extreme weather events impose on teens and young adults. Researchers surveyed approximately 16,000 young people in the U.S. last year, aged 16 to 25, across all states.
They found that 85% are at least somewhat concerned about climate change, with 58% expressing that they feel very or extremely worried.
Additionally, around 38% reported that their concerns are impacting their mental health and disrupting their daily lives.
Feelings, feelings, feelings.
The survey revealed that a significant portion of respondents, including nearly 38% of Republicans, are reluctant to have children due to concerns about climate change.
The research paper’s lead author, Eric Lewandowski from NYU, argues that climate change is increasingly viewed as a non-partisan issue among younger individuals. Nevertheless, a greater percentage of Democrats (45.7%) compared to Republicans (33.7%) reported that their concerns about climate change affect their daily lives.
This study is not the only one addressing climate emotions; other research has indicated that young people in various countries, including the U.S., are experiencing distress related to climate change.
For decades, climate alarmists have consistently warned, almost predictably, that we have only a limited number of years left to prevent catastrophic climate change.
In reality, climate change propaganda is largely responsible for the responses these scientists got. A whole generation of children has been led to believe that their very existence will make the planet uninhabitable, with some fearing this could occur within their own lifetimes. This is despicable and its wrong.
Here’s a radical idea:
