When asked if he thought children might be less anxious if emissions were falling, Mr Morrison said"context" was important.
"I also like to give them reassurance, because the worst thing I would impose on my child is needless anxiety. They've got enough things to be anxious about."When Mr Morrison addresses the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, New York time, he is expected to discuss environmental themes, including the issue of ocean plastic.
He said too many people had a misinformed view of Australia's current action on climate change and environmental policy. Mr Morrison also said Australians should remember the nation and world had overcome and rebuilt after other major, threatening events, such as World War II, which led to the creation of the United Nations.

Actions speak louder, if climate change and emission reduction was important then he would have been at the UN instead of Chicago telling people to get on with business. If he truly believes that we have a climate problem, he would not be patronising the youth.
There are plenty of other things to be anxious about with a ScoMo government after all.
He's a feckin numty
Me thinks Mr Morrison is a CC denier, in disguise, albeit not a very good one!
The only people with anxiety over climate change are people like him. And it’s not anxiety they’re feeling, it’s GUILT.
If PM would have protested against climate change at his young age then todays youngsters wouldn't have needed to protest. Wake up Mr PM
These 'Kids' will be voting soon enough. Guess who they won't be voting for.... Someone who doesn't respect them and belittles them in public won't get 1 vote! Politicians need to wake up!
Forest protection reduces our anxiety by: ✅ Absorbing 2.6 billion tonnes CO2 each year ✅ Securing habitat for endangered species ✅ Improving our mental health & wellbeing ✅ Lowering blood pressure & boosting the immune system climatechange extinctioncrisis deforestation
Maybe they should wait to feel anxious , when the family home burns down, 6 months early of the usual fire season.
Stupid man who has no idea
Twit
A mass extinction event NO GO what will history say about a PM that killed millions of people
Actions speak louder, if climate change and emission reduction was important then he would have been at the UN instead of Chicago telling people to get on with business. If he truly believes that we have a climate problem, he would not be patronising the youth.
With Scumo in charge they need to worry about a lot more than just climate change. They live in a country run by spin doctors with nothing but empty words, no morality, puffed up ego's and selfish greed. They pretend to be christians but live in a moral and spiritual vacuum.
Get out of you 'God' bubble ScottMorrisonMP and see the real world ! In case you and your cronies don't know, planet Earth and its inhabitables are in serious trouble!!!
This needless anxiety you speak of ScottMorrisonMP is not just a view held by the younger generation it’s also a view held by people of OUR generation. You believe the science of Mars missions but not the science of what’s right outside the windows of the Lodge - Climate Crisis!
Seriously delusional! Is he even aware, we are looking at hottest and longest summer for all times. This is climate change.
Clearly he has no idea of the existence of Iceland or Alaska let alone other nations North nearer the Arctic. So a flop at geography, science, math ... I fear this may prove to be a long list.
Science doesn’t mean much if the earth is only 5000 years old.
when I as Greta's age, we were concerned about an Atomic Apocalypse. Good on her standing up when so many of today's gen are self absorbed.
Such a toss-pot 🙄
It’s a hoax and old Scotty knows it
Like those two Biloela Tamil kids yeah?
Never voting labour as the support china being a developing nation, dislike pm because he gives me climate change anxiety. Pretty much screwed.
time to get a new prime minister
Can’t see any problem with the PM’s words , this is not a kid, most likely she just wants to be famous, if she thinks she can do better, get herself elected as PM when she grows up
But what if there really is s/th to worry about, eh? What then? God hasn't broken the drought - but if the past is anything to go by, then it'll break with a flood & there'll be a reverse problem. Morrison's magical thinking is no solution at all & we need to get to work.
Then do something Morrison apart from becoming a brown nose sycophant to the loony in the WhiteHouse. Of course kids are anxious. I’m anxious just by looking at the crazies running this asylum yourself and Dutton are not exempt. Rupert Murdoch is the puppet master & you the puppe
Our kids’ world. Not yours. So please just shut up.
Hey kids, believe hard enough that the invisible sky fairy will save the day, then all your needless anxiety will melt away.
Quick prayer should sort it
Cont. 2. I stead of wving your hand with a generic dismissive 'let kids be kids' perhaps listen to them and show some respect for their investment in the future. They will in a few years be voting and have responsibilty for the following generation living in this world.
1. My 24 yo reminded me tonight that kids these days have far more information available to them to gather their own thoughts and formulate their own balanced arguments and opinions than even he had. Mr Morrison, this is who kids are when they are being kids in these times.
In the eighties we had the manufactured AIDS epidemic (disclosure coming) and the constant threat of nuclear war and acid rain. We are now making the globalists our puppies.
Just pray its not your kids who suffer the ravages of climate change, or are you hoping for a miracle fix?
Millions around the world protest and this numbskull dismisses it as 'needless anxiety'. FFS!
If ScottMorrisonMP wants to reduce the anxiety then lay down and implement a strenuous plan to reduce climate change and show leadership to the rest of the world. I’m anxious for my grandkids and telling them not to worry won’t solve the problem.
Bloody gronk
Lots of noise but not many protesters putting their money where their mouth is....
Context & perspective:
This is a man with two daughters.... It is hard to believe he loves them.
Yes, lets attack a 16 year old girl that has the heart to state her view. It must be truly terrifying for middle aged white men.
He is a major contributor to that anxiety. It’s hardly needless.
Hey Mr ScottMorrisonMP, whatever you tell YOUR kids is the same thing that OUR kids need to hear from their Prime Minister in relation to the climate matters Many adults are working to pay for the rising energy bills Tell us ALL truthfully what the government is doing AND why
Glad to see a world leader with some common sense. The left wing media are brainwashing kids into believing we are entering the apocalypse, those same left wing media and politicians who are funded by and support the big corporations causing the vast majority of the pollution.
Clearly well informed then. auspol qldpol LNPfail scomo
yep. these kids need a education...not loony left conspiracy theory's ...
His way of saying “nothing to see here”. I think Nero said the same thing when Rome was burning.
Absolutely, no problem whatsoever hey ScottMorrisonMP? So, how much in 'donation' $$$ do you receive from the fossil fuel industry scott? corruption OrganisedCrime auspol
Bloody stupid politicians
'Needless anxiety' has that 'peace in our time' ring to it!
why would they not feel needless anxiety re climate change i feel it and i am an adult. while we have political donations from fossil fuel giants to political parties you will never see any change in attitude from a crooked government
What a total FW.....Morrison should stay in US, with his other FW mate 👎🏼👎🏿👎🏽🤡🤖💩
I have anxiety at how far this guys nose it up Trumps rear end
There there kids. Let the bloated old men who have their hands in the honey pot distract you while destroying the planet. They will be dead before it gets really bad. For goodness sake!!!
Stop indoctrinating kids like the Hitler Youth.
He and the LNP haven't see a lump of coal they don't love the disengenous price of crap regurgitating Fox News talking points.
Just shut up and give my money 💰
Doesn’t care not a voter base for at least 6 years by then he will be retired and living on an island drinking cocktails.
NotMyPM
Here is a more mature expert on climate change for the PM.
the children starving and in war torn countries and those less fortunate because of government policies don't have internet access, I only have because I'm having to sell my farming equipment to pay for your superfund/travel's
lts their world. They have the right to be pro-active. They have the right to know the truth. They listen to the science.
Voters warn PM that his days as Australia's leader are numbered.
I would imagine some of the kids abused by the church (including his) might have like a lot less anxiety! Didn't exactly jump through hoops to stop that, did he?
What a fool he is
Is he nuts or just made contacts with aliens in the WH
Oh dear, this ScottMorrisonMP has no idea. Australia is not a pristine environment by a long shot and Australia will be and is being affected by climate change. Someone should tell ScottMorrisonMP that Australia is part of the world a climate change is a world event. LNP RWFW!
If we ever had any doubt that this fraud is a climate denier they are now confirmed. This is not needless anxiety, this is fear of the future and so they should be.
Wake up to yourself Morrison and stop listening to the crap trump and your corrupt mates keep telling you, climate change is real and the younger generation have every right to be concerned, when idiots like you and trump are in power, so be a leader 🤬🤬🤬
needless? That's not what the science and the scientists are saying!
Thanks Scomo. I'm having economic anxiety attacks right now.
I refuse to let LNP treat my children like Mushrooms. My kids are ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE in their country’s politics
If he doesn't want the kids to be anxious he and his Govt. have to actually do something positive to help the environment. His response is usually 'nothing to see here'. We deserve better.
Don't 'lecture' our kids you denier. You have lost the right!
I have never been more disappointed in a Prime Minister in my life and I lived through every minute of the HonTonyAbbott reign
I know that, in the global context of Trump and Johnson, we've become inured, but, this man brings shame to this country and it's people.
Then next time you interview him, Do NOT STOP UNTIL HE EXPLAINS THE POLICIES TRUTHFULLY SCOMOHASTOGO shame
He wants Stepford children to enable his climate change denial.
Our Government never looks further than next election. Look at our infrastructure etc. Always reactive, never proactive. We pay exorbitant prices for power because these idiot's didn't look ahead, they sold out. Manufacturing gone. Same goes for our environment.
ScottMorrisonMP there wouldn't be any anxiety if you had 2 brain cells to rub together to formulate the faintest hint of a plan to face any challange at all or even had a whiff of scientific literacy
Blind ignorance and denial, works for Scomo.
If only you were in a position of power then you could do something towards climate change. ScottMorrisonMP
Because he’s not worried about it no one else should be either? Tosser.
Hypocrisy 🤥🤥🤣🤣
Not the best at reading the mood of the room, is he?
The only thing her junk science rant at the UN needed was a canned laughter track dubbed in.
I’ve always liked kids to be kids, unless they arrive in Australia by boat, then I like to imprison them like adults
Omg ScottMorrisonMP what planet do you live on?
'Needless anxiety' 🤔 Scummo has no idea. He's totally lost touch with reality. People, especially the younger generation wouldnt be so anxious if the government actually had a climate policy. Just like the indue card & robodebt, he doesn't see the damage being done to people.
Kids are very impressionable and adults (All adults) have the responsibility of looking after their emotional wellbeing. No need to lie to them, but also no need to over dramatise what we tell them.
From a PM selling kids’ future for quick bucks.
Peter Griffen is obviously not taking climate change seriously
This is a dereliction of duty as PM ScottMorrisonMP there is every need for anxiety on the climate catastrophe. Especially for kids as they will suffer the most when you are long gone after doing nothing because you are in the energy companies pockets!
The planet is fine. If most humans hadn’t reduced their human experience to commerce & a work - coma ( leave me alone , I just need some peace after work ) you would not be too tired to think clearly & be attuned to nature & who y really are . Man will never be bigger t nature
He's funded by coal interests. Of course he doesn't want people thinking about it. This anxiety isn't needless, it's a response to danger.
''Senators and Pollies, throughout the land get out of the way if you don't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command For the climate, it is a-changing'' (with apologies to B Dylan)
Scott Morrison as well as other leaders should be charged with EARTH CRIMES in the future...They will have to go to jail !
The best thing this Country can do for Climate Change is to reduce population. Immigration needs to be reduced. Not enough drinking water for more people.
Yes kids your anxiety about ClimateChange , Housing costs, Education costs, Jobs Security is totally needless... ...Just accept reality that Scomo and Liberals are going to screw you over. ausecon auspol
The Mo in ScoMo definitely stands for motherfucker
Who voted for this man and his party? Honestly, is this the best Australia has to offer the world?
Can we retain that 'needless anxiety' quote for when crops scross the globe fail on a large scale & there's barely anything to eat? Kinda like Chamberlain's 'Peace in our time' quote in what? 1938!!
We need calm rational talking and action NOT ranting and raving
I’m surprised he didn’t say “kiddies”... Condescending 💩
ANALYSIS Sweden produces 80% of their power from hydro & wait for it... 5 x nuclear reactors. Maybe we should listen if we want zero emissions & cheap power. Seems nuclear can remove anxiety from kids & their parents hopefully. You’re welcome.
We need a new PM, this one is a menace.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
happyclappingsloganbogan
He knows whos in control of the hysteria thats why.
ScottMorrisonMP even the ADF is rightly concerned. But you will be cashed up and long out of government by 2025, so why would you give a damn? auspol gretathumberg
FORGET THE PROPHECIES , i'm still wondering where the 1.5 million new jobs are ?
Morrison - we *need* legislation to protect the religious so that a footballer can tell gay kids they will go to hell. Also Morrison - we shouldn't induce needless anxiety in children by presenting them with scientific data about their future. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Drongo!
It's good to have a sane Prime Minister. 👍🏼
Just DO Something to retard Climate Change Mr Morrison! Don’t lecture us for caring!
Yes, kids, you too can die an early death just like the million people in China and the million more in India do each year now from air pollution. (That's if the floods, drought and wars don't get you first.)
SO NOW KIDS ,ARE GOING THREW POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. I THINK ITS A GOOD THING,THAT KIDS ,ARE STANDING UP AGAINST, WORLD LEADERS. CAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY DONT GIVE A STUFF.
Children in mental health wards because they think they will die in 10 yrs because of an apocalyptic event... shame on teachers for ruing kids with lies.
But you didnt attend the summit when you went to America. You went gallivanting around the country instead! Our school students have good reason to be anxious about their future. They need answersabout where their PM is at
Your PM (he is not mine) is an idiot!!
What a tool
At the least we should all be anxious about the LNP's lack of action on this and other issues affecting the poor, the middle class, the disabled, the elderly, the young and, generally, anyone who cares about others or the environment
“They've got enough things to be anxious about.' Absolutely right. So do your Goddamn job and take care of adult business!
If you are a rational person with a shred of honesty you would have acknowledged this climate emergency a long time ago. If not, then I feel sorry for your kids/grandkids, now please get out of the way of people who want get shit done.
Al gore... Cause he had no job after being vp
they should be worried
Scomo causes adults anxiety. Of course kids are going to be affected.
Well said, and a scientifically valid point of view!
His not so subtle words are a dig at Greta...anxiety...mental illness. You dog, Momo
What about us middle aged men with kids around GretaThunberg’s age and are anxious that we aren’t going to leave and environment for them to flourish in? Is my anxiety needless as well? Fuck that guy.
Not bad coming from Stunt Morrison who's 'government' has been directly responsible for suicides because of the robo debt debacle.
Keep going Scott...I'm actually warming to you.
I am not a kid, I am a sustainability professional with 20+ years in this game and I am anxious for a reason ScottMorrisonMP Your govt and Aust govts before you are failing me AND my kids climatecrisis
La, La, La. La, La, La. ScottMorrisonMP it’s the 3 Unwise ScoMo’s. He just doesn’t wanna see it, Hear it, Or Speak it. ClimateChange ClimateAction because it hurts his brain. GretaThunberg
oh how sweet of Uncle Scummo!
Says man who spent millions re-opening Christmas Island for boats that never came.
But it's ok to fear going to hell if you don't repent. happyclapadvice
PM wants lots of things, but he does not deserve much.
These kids vote soon!
Same MO. Abuse dressed up as humanitarianism.
Thought GT's observation that '... all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.' was pretty accurate. Bet no one in that audience has ever heard of the circulareconomy . auspol
That is a good attitude, if you don't want children or the entire planet to be worried then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Then we all dont have to worry.
The obvious thing to do is let the country take action towards climate regulation and thereby show ghe young ones this government cares. Seems to me Mr. Morrison talks a lot but doesn’t take action. Is he not empowered to do so?
But 'needless anxiety' that BoatPeople are going to murder us in our beds is just FINE
Kids need to realise it’s the LNP they shouldn’t follow in the future.
Yep & the ABC has been just shameless in sowing fear and panic on all things Climate Change & Trumpf-Russia, UTTERLY shameless, how do they sleep a night folks?.
ScottMorrisonMP needlessly unanxious...
