Some 57% of American teens say they fear climate change, and 52% are angry about it, according to a Washington Post and Kaiser Foundation national survey.

The Post said a majority of respondents, many of whom will reach voting age by 2020, are motivated to channel their anxieties into activism.

“Fear is a commodity we don't have time for if we're going to win the fight," said Madeline Graham, 16, of Maryland, who is organizing a student protest planned for this week.

The poll found about 1 in 4 teens have participated in a walkout, attended a rally or written to a public official to express their views on global warming.

The Post noted it was the first survey of its kind since the igniting of the youth climate movement last year by 16-year-old Greta Thunberg of Sweden.

They should be afraid of the Liberals who want to become the one and only political party in the US. Well at least then they will have a cradle to grave government to take care of them but how long will that trip take?

Maybe future conservatives if globull warming doesn’t occur or if we get global cooling instead.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,
couldn’t predict climate for one year let alone ten.

Our instruments aren’t precise enough and we aren’t smart enough.

Shows what you know about young people who vape and discover they have the lungs of a 70 year old.

Makes them experts on what is and isn’t climate change.

Eventually it will be clear that Climate Change is a hoax.

Will this open their eyes? Or will they move on to another “crisis” which can only be solved through communism and oppression?

A few weeks ago a girl (of apparent high school age, maybe 15 or 16) came to the door with her clipboard. I was polite and let her finish her intro, then asked what she was here for....she said she was sure I was "...concerned about climate change". "Not really" I replied. I said I didn't buy into it. She started with "studies prove..." but I politely interrupted her and asked her if she could answer a question: North America was once covered in ice 100s of feet thick, how did it melt while humans were doing nothing but exhaling and had nothing but campfires?

Stunned silence. she smiled, said thank you and left.

The only reason why Teens would fear global climate change is because they are being propagandized at school.

By the time they’re about 30, it might dawn on them that they’ve been had.

But you never know, people have a tendency to rationalize their foolishness, and as Bernie Madoff shows us, snake oil salesmen are masters of the moving target.

Too bad you didn’t have this little bit of homework to hand to her:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
