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

That was the case for me. This indoctrination isn't new, I can remember it back in my elementary/middle school days too. And Ibought into it, until I was old enough to think logically.

I got two boys in the fourth and seventh grade the public school system and I can tell you that they’re trying to indoctrinate them that what I do as I say hey what causes ice ages and do you believe that I said was actually occurred?

Ignorant little mindless programmed children. Everyday I am more and more glad that I am old and won’t live to see what they do to the country.

I remember the schools and media tried to scare the sh*t out of us with inevitable new ice age and end of oil by the 90’s.

The problem is not the politicians who promise to make life fair. That's what typical politicians do.

The problem is teenagers not maturing enough as adults to realize life is not fair by definition and no politician can change that.

The last piece of advice my dad gave to me when I was leaving home to go on active duty in the Air Force, was, "Life is not fair. And don't expect it to be."

Teens are also known for car surfing and chewing Tide pods. It’s no surprise to me that they would also be stupid enough to believe in a hoax without bothering to check the facts or consider the consequences.

Sadly, I believe that most of them will continue believing their indoctrinations no matter what they can observe outside the windows.

People who can revise their opinions when faced with contradictory evidence are quite uncommon.

I am not so good at that myself. It is hard work.

“...check the facts...” Guess you didn’t get your copy of nuzzlin’ joe’s memo where he clearly states that “they” have chosen truth over facts. Facts just get in the way and confuse things. :-)

Here in the DC metro area, they shifted to counting 90 degree days as “extreme heat”. That leads to bigger, scarier numbers, of course.

15 years of Bill Bye on public funded PBS can change a generation.

That won't matter. Most people who discover that they have been wrong for their entire lives tend to cling more tightly to that wrong worldview than to admit that they were wrong, discard the old, and explore the new.

They would rather cling to sodden log of stupidity than swim 100 feet to the lifeboat of truth.

Majority of teens fear boogeyman, Swamp Thing, and Big Bad Wolf.

I’d love to drop millennials into the middle of the woods around here and ask them if they fear bears or wolves - . And then just leave them there.

Folks no longer have sense of what it is that really constitutes a real existential threat. Oh, and plain ol’ mundane exposure to the elements. ( I hate boron).

So more students are passing Climate Change than the percent who can pass a reading test and far higher than math test scores. You can tell what the NEA teachers concentrate on in our tax-payer funded schools. Shameful

In order to have even the slightest idea as to whether climate change is real you would need at least 5000 years worth of detailed daily statistical data.

If it is real none of us will be around to find out.

Plus all of the "news" that is streamed to them daily on social media reinforces the lie.
