Climate change: Young people very worried - survey

Over half of those surveyed said they thought humanity was doomed and that governments were failing to respond adequately

Two-thirds reported feeling sad, afraid and anxious. Many felt fear, anger, despair, grief and shame - as well as hope. Chronic stress over climate change, they maintain, is increasing the risk of mental and physical problems. And if severe weather events worsen, mental health impacts will follow. There was most concern in the global south. The most worried rich nation was Portugal, which has seen repeated wildfires.

They're really going to freak out when you tell them that volcanoes spew CO2 and the oceans have methane evaporating out of the sea floor 24/7

Young people = brain dead

Well BBC you gotta start posting where the pollution and destruction coming from too. Doing surveys does nothing when you’re misleading people with Fiat war based lies.

Yet you don’t see that evidence at festivals this year!!!

It's not just young people. It is people of any age who have any understanding of the world.

Really? But I have seen several youngsters consuming electricity by staying up late at night listening to music,watching TV,playing video games,taking long showers,ordering takeaway food which are served in plastic containers,smoking,etc etc..

Oh yes you can tell by the way the left fields of tents,plastics,food and beer cans strew across the fields at several pop concerts yes vert 😟

Is it surprising when their teachers/tv presenters and social media have been brainwashing them to become woke lefties?

Worried, they should be terrified

Please vote NO on the California recall to make sure republicans don’t get to gut our climate change progress in CA.

There aren’t emperor’s leadership and educates, the people’s minds are confused, and there aren’t national defense forces in Japan. China casually kills people in the world. Japan should regardless of all restrictions to develop armaments and scientific research.

good news: the cure for youth is growing old

Fed by the fear mongering by the bbc

When I was young it was the treat of nuclear war that occupied our minds to a certain degree. Every generation are 'given' a threat to fear. It's all part of the indoctrination.

Well they could cut their carbon footprint by getting rid of all their devices! See how that works!

It's almost as if brainwashing young, impressionable children has consequences...

…easy to worry when food and shelter, possessions is plentiful.

My kids couldn’t care less. I asked all three and they looked at me daft.

So worried that they will stop flying all over the world on gap years?

toughen up, finding your next meal, is more of a reason to be worried and will happen way sooner than the distant nobody knows the hell when future

Indoctrination and propaganda has been successful comrade.

Maybe the should do a report on the destruction China 🇨🇳 is causing to the environment

They'll grow out of it, once they have jobs and mortgages to worry about.
