In a sane world, these kids would be angry in 15 years when the earth is still here. But, at some point of time, their attention will be slowly focused on some new doomsday scenario and global warming will be forgotten It will be the "unfair" health care costs of their parents that is increasing their debt burden in addition to their college debt.
It will be time to off mom and dad.

The cure was the same (more socialism) but the fear promoted was "a new ice age" rather than
global warming climate change.
They had to change the name in the last decade or so, because climate change is harder to argue with than global warming.

If I were king I'd put the voting age on active duty in the military or financially independent, not just from Mom and Dad but also the government teat.
Exemption only for those getting social security because they paid into it.

They said the same thing to me in 1974 in HS.
It was a common thought in evangelistic circles that the last times were here so you really didn’t need to plan for the future.
It never made sense to me even then.

Half (51%) of voters under 35 believe it is at least somewhat likely humanity will be wiped out in the next decade or so.That is so encouraging.... I would never have guessed that this high a percentage believed that the rapture was this close!

51% of young voters have been fooled.

People my age can top that. In the 1950's and 60's we EXPECTED our world to end with about five minutes warning at the tip of a Soviet ICBM. Kids in Russia EXPECTED the same thing, but at the hands of a guy who looked like Slim Pickens in a flight helmet. Principle difference, of course, ours was a legitimate expectation and not some deranged fantasy.
We couldn't do anything about it but get on with our lives and enjoy what time we had. And I always thought the phrase "Brain Drain" only referred to a migration pattern.

Yeah, but they can claim success on that and people will believe it. Though, I am still trying to figure out how R12 which is heavier than air managed to cross the equator and get far into the stratosphere, right at the exact same time that the patent for R12 was expiring.

Over the next 10-15 years, 29% of all voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that the earth will become uninhabitable and humanity will be wiped out.
They are going to be really sad when, in 16 years, they realize that theyve burned through all their savings and inheritance and will have to be baristas for the rest of their lives.

There does seem to be a great distinction between the opinions of urbanites versus rural people.
It's probably based on the expectation that survival in the cities will be close to nil and that the five or ten percent who do survive any coming catastrophe will be in rural areas. The people in the cities and the people in the country both seem to know this.
