Bummer: Almost Half Of Teens Don’t Know ‘Climate Change’ Is Their Fault

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I guess the constant fearmongering and putting ‘climate change’ in every school subject, from math to science to history to art and music, has become rather tedious to the youts

Nearly Half of Teens Can’t Identify What Causes Climate Change. Why That Matters

Teens have a shaky understanding of the causes of climate change and the strong scientific consensus around the fact that human activity is driving up global temperatures, according to a report.

Really, once you mention consensus and science in the same breath your argument is over. Science is science. It is fact. Not a bunch of people having the same beliefs. The consensus once was that the Sun went around the Earth, and that the Earth was at the center of everything

A little more than half of teenagers correctly identified in a national survey that emissions from human activity is the biggest contributor to climate change, and less than half knew that nearly all climate scientists agree on that point.

Teens need a strong understanding of the basics of the science behind climate change to be prepared for their futures, said Laura Schifter, a senior fellow with the Aspen Institute, and the founder of its This Is Planet Ed initiative, which produced the report.

Indoctrination fail. And, it’s an utter lie that nearly all climate scientists agree. Hey, maybe the kiddies have noticed that the people telling them that the world is doomed from human CO2 output put out a lot of CO2 themselves?

“What are the things that are going to be shaping our children’s world? Those need to be taught in schools,” Schifter said. “AI is one, climate change is one. People [are thinking about] how to integrate AI into education because they see that as something that will be impacting jobs, the way we interact with each other, and the world in the future. Climate is doing that exact same thing: it’s impacting jobs, and it’s impacting how and where we live.”

Maybe the kiddies aren’t interested in doomsday scenarios anymore?

Despite these misconceptions, other research has found that teens still worry about climate change. A 2022 EdWeek Research Center survey found that 37% of teenagers feel anxious when they think about climate change and its effects, and more than a third feel afraid.

That’s actually down from older folks, so, looks like they are not buying into the doom and gloom anymore.
