“Global warming” is science after all. Political Science.
To: Sir Napsalot
Ah I see the author of the study Jon Miller is continuing the liberal meme that global warming is now to be called climate change. As a GenXer...I say Mr. Miller, you’re a fraud and we don’t really care too much for frauds.

I'm not sure that this theme...
"You'd be concerned about global warming climate change if only you weren't a drooling moron."
...is going to do much to rally the masses.

Longitudinal Study of American Youth Since when is Gen-X considered 'youth'? I'm a 42 year old woman with two grown children. (one married) And I'm a 'youth'?? People born in '61 are in their 50's now. How is that 'youth'? Talk about condescending BS.

"...Even with most of the country mired in a historic drought, a spate of storms that left millions without power in the mid-Atlantic, and seemingly more frequent natural disasters..."
Maybe them there GenXers figured out that weather has nothing to do with Global Warm, er, "Climate Change"

Even with most of the country mired in a historic drought, a spate of storms that left millions without power in the mid-Atlantic, and seemingly more frequent natural disasters, people have better things to worry about than global warming, according to a new study of Generation X-ers, writes Jason Koebler of USNews.
My critical thinking skills go into hyper drive when I read things like this. Call it a "spidey sense".
Right off the top, what is the historical context? How many times have millions been left without power? And the big one, what is this "Seemingly" crap?

“Global warming is science after all. Political Science.”
What do they call an F science major?
A political science major.
To: Sir Napsalot
Gee, we were first warned back in the late 1980’s that global warming was going to doom us all in a couple of years. Nothing’s happened. Are we supposed to be scare for our entire lives?

Nuclear Holocaust, drug resistance diseases, the Rapture, famine, overpopulation, polution, ozone hole, global cooling, global warming. I’ve been told all my life the world is going to end tomorrow. Really, after nearly 50 years of this crap, how can I take any of this seriously?
To: Sir Napsalot
The group is uninformed about the causes, unconcerned about the potential dangers, and doubt it is happening, writes Hank Campbell on the blog Science 2.0.Whew!! I was getting concerned that the leftists were beginning to back away from their propaganda hoax!! Thank God the Sierra Club isn't letting it go - we still have some leftists left to ridicule!

I had to chuckle at this....so true!
Don’t forget we’ve had to listen to the running out oil (because there are only so many dead dinosaurs to dig up), coal, natural gas and
everything and anything that is used to create electricity will be gone and we will either freeze to death and sweat
to death (so turn out those lights you wasteful fools).
And don’t forget simply breathing the polluted air that we horrible human beings create will cause us all to perish in a short time and if not, we will all die from some sort of horrible disease.

Nice to know I am a “youth”. I am a member of natal class of ‘62 which means I was taught about THE NEXT ICE AGE.
Since actual measured degrees of warming or cooling or ocean rise or glacier retreat or...never mind, has not induced panic the green loonies have redefined the terms of the debate to property damage, power outages, and lives lost.
They cannot lose based on those metrics since population increases and government incentives to live in disaster prone areas will continue to boost those numbers.
But then isn’t that exactly what they want? Less property, less power, and less lives?
To: Sir Napsalot
As a Gen-Xer I can safely say that having grown up thinking that a Soviet nuclear missile was going to explode above our heads any minute and turn us to dust, it's hard to get worked up about the slight possibility that the temperature go up a couple degrees over the next century.

I had managed to forgot about that so thanks for the “duck and cover” memories. We should list all of the great scares from the 60’s and 70’s. I will add The China Syndrome and DDT.

According to The Generation X Report...the demographic group born between 1961 and 1981I thought that the Baby Boomers were born up through '65, and beyond that was Gen X?
My birth year falls in that time frame, and I'm having an identity crisis right now.
To: Disambiguator
Me, too, between 1961-65.
Never identify issues associated to either “Baby Boomer” or “Gen X”. :-(
