Students Living In World-Ending Fear From Climate Propaganda
More than half of teenagers think the world will likely end in their lifetime because of ‘climate change’, as parents warn of the dangers of “alarmist” teaching in schools
Climate change education in schools is feeding anxiety among children and putting them off having families of their own, research has suggested.
A poll carried out of more than 1,000 sixth-form pupils [ages 16 to 18] in March found that 53 percent believe it is “likely” that the world will end in their lifetime because of ‘climate change’.
It showed that 26 percent of teenagers who ever feel anxious or sad say ‘climate change’ has made their anxiety or sadness worse.
Half of 16- to 18-year-olds said people should have fewer children to stop “overpopulation and climate change”, according to the report published by the Civitas think tank.
Academics have warned that “eco-anxiety”, or a feeling of acute fear over the planet’s future, is on the rise among children and teenagers.
Dr. Alex Standish, an associate professor of geography education at University College London, said that instead of reflecting “catastrophizing narratives” around ‘climate change’, schools need to “provide children with perspective on global warming and offer them positive ways forwards”.
Climate change in the national curriculum in England is currently directly referenced in secondary school subjects, including science and geography.
However, research has shown that most teachers across primaries and secondaries are teaching and talking to their pupils about the topic.
A survey of more than 600 primary and secondary teachers in England in 2021 found that (some-Ed) teachers in England support an “action-based” climate change curriculum, including issues of “global social justice, beginning in primary school with mitigation projects such as conservation, local tree-planting, and family advocacy”.

Editor’s note: I know two secondary school teachers. One refuses to discuss climate science with me, the other is a skeptic, and questioned teaching alarmism at his school. He says he was told to teach it as fact or risk losing his job.

Less life experience = easier to be propagandized. Then they will either be killed off by global warming, be killed off by mRNA poisons, be killed off by starvation or be murdered directly by gates, WHO, democrats, the WEF and other parasites who all hate humanity.

I wonder how these brain washed and programmed ‘students’ are affected by news of “Depleted Uranium Cloud Over Europe”?
Or that our world could be facing the eternal devastation of an exchange of NUCLEAR WEAPONS by the SUPER POWERS?
I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones – Albert Einstein.

I believe that the education system has much to answer for on many issues, and by now it has produced a generation of parents with an inadequate education that is not appropriate for our technically advanced world.
For the proof of this look no further than the showing of Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” in schools. This was based on the correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature which Gore claimed could be “seen” by just looking at the graphs. No teachers apparently know about correlation analysis. They should have been telling their pupils to ignore Gore until he produced a correlation analysis. This is hardly advance maths.

Young minds full of mush. If they had to do some physical work to actually survive their attitude would be 100% different.
