Climate alarmism – NOT so-called “climate change” – is negatively affecting kids’ mental health
10/21/2024 // Olivia Cook // Views

A recent article from Future Net Zero (FNZ) has stirred up a debate by claiming that climate change is causing anxiety in children. However, this assertion overlooks a critical factor: Rather than the so-called climate change, the intense media coverage and alarmist rhetoric may be the real culprits behind the anxiety many kids are experiencing.

The FNZ article, titled "Climate change sparks anxiety among children," highlights a new campaign by a renewable energy company called 100Green. This campaign points to a study by Save the Children, which claims that a significant number of children – 70 percent, to be exact – are struggling with climate anxiety.

The article begins by advising parents to "keep things positive" when discussing climate change with their children. Yet, it quickly shifts to a more alarming tone, echoing sentiments from Gwen Hines of Save the Children, who warns that children face a dire future unless immediate climate action is taken. According to Hines, the current generation of children will inherit an increasingly unequal world and their anxiety is justified due to the ongoing climate crisis and growing inequality.

Contrary to these claims, evidence suggests that the Earth is a safer place today than ever before. Modern technology, largely driven by fossil fuels, has drastically reduced the number of deaths caused by extreme weather and temperature fluctuations. Such deaths have decreased by about 99 percent over the past century – despite a modest rise in global temperatures.

Furthermore, there is no evidence to support claims that floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires are becoming more severe. The portrayal of disappearing polar bears, melting ice and vanishing islands is also misleading. These misconceptions contribute to the unfounded fear many are experiencing.

Children are being brainwashed to believe climate change is real

So why are children so anxious about the climate? The answer lies in the pervasive media coverage and educational materials that promote climate alarmism. The media often sensationalizes weather events, attributing them to climate change without solid evidence. This constant barrage of fear-inducing messages, coupled with the inclusion of climate themes in school subjects unrelated to environmental science, can significantly impact young minds.

For example, some schools are integrating climate concerns into subjects like art and gym class, which may contribute to an overwhelming sense of urgency and anxiety among students. This kind of indoctrination, rather than being driven by student demand, is imposed before children are fully capable of understanding the implications of climate policies.

The FNZ article also makes a dubious claim that today’s children will experience seven times more heatwaves than their grandparents. This assertion is misleading and reflects a broader pattern of misinformation from climate alarmist groups. Historical weather data does not support the idea that heatwaves are becoming more frequent or severe in Europe or the United States.

Ultimately, FNZ, Save the Children and other organizations promoting such alarmist narratives are contributing to children’s fears about climate change. By portraying an impending climate apocalypse and pushing for radical decarbonization measures, they are not only distorting reality but also leveraging the fear they instill to gain financial and political support.

It is crucial to recognize that these groups benefit from a fearful and anxious public. Their efforts to alarm children about the climate crisis serve their agendas and generate support for their policies, all while potentially damaging the mental health of the very audience they claim to be helping.
