Actions Don’t Accord with Intensions

July 15, 2009 By jennifer

Young people don’t need to be persuaded of the climate crisis. Poll any group of people, young or old, and a majority will talk of their passion to live in a greener world.  But ask that same group how much they drive, or fly, or how many children they intend to have and you’ll be amazed.  It simply doesn’t add up.  Read more here.

    There is a big difference between knowing something and realising it. Young people feel bullet proof, like they will live forever. “It can’t happen to me”, so they take silly risks and have fun. Much to the condemnation of parents and authorities. Most of us have been there.

    Getting the cadre of young disciples past teenage attitudes to more “responsible” personal conduct – before their time – is going to be a big ask for the promoters of AGW climate change. Calling them hypocrites will not do it. They are not hypocrites. They are young, and normal.

    Callow youth with pricked conscience can easily be made to pay service to ideology.

    This is where the stupidity of AGW gains the most traction.

    Last week, I had a late-night conversation with my neighbor’s 21-year-old daughter in our condo association’s little park. She asked me what I thought about Global Warming. I explained my opinion that Climate Alarmism is the biggest scientific fraud in the last 50 years. Then she thanked me.

    Until that night, she’d been under the impression that Global Warming was going to destroy the Earth someday soon. That was part of her reason for not wanting to have children. Now she may be reevaluating her options.

    I must say add that she’s a very responsible person who takes good care of her dog and her horse. She didn’t have the greatest science education in high school, but she definitely sees connections between ideas and her own life. She walks the walk.
