Kids live in fear
Modern children crippled by environmental anxiety

Habitat Heroes is a social networking site for environmentally conscious kids. To find out what American kids were thinking about the environment, the folks behind the website commissioned a 'survey'.

Nearly 60% believe Earth will be a blasted, apocalyptic wasteland by the time they're adults. One out of three children surveyed aged 6-11 fears that the Earth itself will cease to exist by the time they grow up.

Anxiety is highest among minority kids -- 75% of black kids and 65% of Hispanics think the planet will be damaged beyond repair by the time they're old enough to legally buy beer... [snip]

That's what the message of the modern eco-terrorist such as Gore and Suzuki is all about. To scare us all into dismantling the global economy.

The fact that it's all an overblown lie and that even if the world does warm up a bit, it won't be the first time and it won't cause environmental horror but might even save a bunch of human lives, is all beside the point.

All the poor little kid hears is the adults in his life telling him the world is going to end.

There was a time when parents, teachers and society's leaders -- even during real crises, such as time of war, as opposed to manufactured nonsense such as this -- did their very best to protect their children from the big bad world around them...

[That was before children became a political weapon. We should be outraged.]
