Over 70 percent of children are now afraid of a climate crisis and suffer from so-called “eco-anxiety,” a new survey reveals.
A UK-based start-up surveyed 1,000 children born between 2010 and 2015 on their views on the environment.
According to the research, a staggering 71 percent of respondents feared environmental changes, including climate change.
Twenty-seven percent of the children surveyed were anxiety-ridden over the impact changing global temperatures have on animals, while 19 percent said plastic pollution is their greatest concern.
A peer-reviewed study published in July also found that children are increasingly experiencing “negative” emotions including “anger, sadness, guilt, and hopelessness that characterize eco-anxiety,” but noted additional evaluation of the climate change’s impact on children must be conducted.
The rise in children’s fears about climate change coincides with education systems ramping up alarmist climate change indoctrination in the classroom despite unsettled science on the threats of man-made climate change and evidence to the contrary.
According to a 2016 report from the National Center for Science Education, approximately 75 percent of public school science teachers in the United States teach climate change and almost all public school students likely receive at least some education about global warming.
In England, climate change is incorporated into the elementary and middle school curriculum, despite most teacher feeling ill-equipped to teach the subject.
“Climate change is already incorporated into the curricula for geography and science in England as both are compulsory subjects up to the age of 14,” Euronews Green reports.
Yet, “according to 2021 research from the campaign group Teach the Future, 71 percent of educators feel they don’t have enough training to talk to students about climate change,” the publication notes.
The European Union is even reportedly running courses for its workers to help them cope with eco-anxiety.
To foster “climate grief,” United Nations is collaborating with Google to catapult its climate change propaganda to the top of Google’s search engine results to fight “misinformation.”
In an interview with the World Economic Forum, United Nations Secretary for Global Communications Melissa Fleming assured Google would ensure the correct science would be promoted on the internet following the WEF, Google partnership.
“We own the science and we think that the world should know it and the platforms themselves also do,” Fleming said.
As children continue to experience major mental health difficulties following worldwide Covid lockdowns, the WEF and influential organizations herald the impact the lockdowns had on reducing carbon emissions and have indicated they intend to mitigate climate disaster by instituting climate lockdowns.
For instance, an op-ed published by the WEF in September champions how “billions” of people complied with “restrictions” imposed as a result of the Covid lockdowns and argues the masses would continue to comply under the guise of reducing carbon emissions.
The article, titled ‘My Carbon’: An approach for inclusive and sustainable cities,’ was written by Mridul Kaushik, Mission Director, Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs of India.
Meanwhile, India is preparing to impose a climate lockdown to reduce pollution.
“India’s Supreme Court is calling for a lockdown in the capital, New Delhi. It’s because of a health emergency, but it’s not about COVID-19. It’s about air pollution,” NPR reports.
Authorities are slated to ban all nonessential travel and order tens of millions of people to work from home.

Lies – damn lies – and statistics!
I agree that it is sad that one political party – Labor – has aligned its politics with reducing the effects of climate change while we Liberals have fallen for the trap of therefore going opposite – pretending it is not happening – and splitting our own membership while strengthening Labor’s – through their ultra-left Greens allies.
However, the science is now on their side – not ours. And so are now 60%-plus of the population. And that shows at election time.
In the past the “sensible centre” has won the day – that’s usually us! So what’s changed?
We have. We have ignored the data that sensible people would normally acknowledge – the global warming IS happening, that the ocean levels ARE rising (Just ask our Torres Strait Islanders) – and Labor have grabbed it.
But I want it back. So let’s look at the data. Is it all true?
Warming – the cause: in terms of CO2 the critics are nearly right – Australia will go broke by trying to reduce our global contribution by building energy-guzzling solar panels and wind farms.
Nett contrubion to emissions, given our population: b….r all! Lucky to break even. And highly expensive .
So – labor have got the right observation but drawn the WRONG remediation CONCLUSION.
So what should the “Sensible Centre” do?
Recognise the problem. LACK of Emission ABSORPTION is our problem because of previous forrest destruction.
Solution:
Simply process the gas emissions from existing power dources – trap the CO2 from chimneys and return it to earth. Grow algae (food) with it and feed it to ruminant animals who then produce 90% less methane!
Now, given Australia’s massive land mass and “food bowl for our neighbours” function, this would make a MASSIVE difference to emissions – AND at a fraction of the cost. Even make money from it.
And there are other, similarly clever – and low-cost – ideas so let’s support initiative! That’s the Liberal way.
Power is now in the wrong hands – low-IQ and rlatively corrupt politicians.
Let’s restore it to the right hands.
I’m prepared to fight for it. Are you?
“[…] pretending [climate change] is not happening […]”
They’re not pretending. Perhaps you should educate yourself; I’m sure you’d enjoy the change.
P.S. It is *not* “climate change”; it’s “global warming” (or at least it used to be, until the weather most inconveniently refused to play along with the narrative of the deluded morons and faux intellectuals who risibly anoint each other as members of the so-called global elites).
And in Australia the Union Labor Greens Teals now want to lower the voting age to sixteen years of age.
They also want to increase the number of Senators for Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory.
Not stated of course they also want to manage and control from the Senate forever.
