Article Quote: "Dr. Matthew Wielicki, a University of Alabama earth sciences professor, believes many STEM professionals overstate climate change's immediate effects, like warning of imminent and unavoidable catastrophes. He said such alarmism harms students' mental health.
"They’re only giving one side of the story," Wielicki told Fox News. "They’re catastrophizing or over-exaggerating that side to try to make a point because they claim the ends justify the means.""
He said young climate activists, like Greta Thunberg, aren't the problem since they're only believing what they're told.
This is serious when activists will destroy science to try to win people over to their way of thinking.

What they are doing is unacceptable and unforgivable. They are partially responsible for the rising suicide rate

SFC (Join to see) Thanks for posting. Excellent article. It seems so obvious - after it is pointed out - that unfettered relentless fear-mongering on the news would take a huge toll on older teens and young adults. Its been concerning for years that broadcast media, including internet, burdens children with stress that should not be concerning them, yet. That was the main reason I was displeased with how the media reacted to young Greta crazy freaking out about climate change a few years back. It was clearly a symptom of the problem expanded on by the article.

Excellent comments about the outrageous fear-mongering our Progressive Democrats that hurt our children. Greta is a poster child for how the Left hurts out children.

Yes, she is, SFC (Join to see). I also said so at the time a few years back, in the form of considering it to be parental abuse for her parents to have put their child in that position. FB folks highly objected to the perspective.
Grateful to know I'm not the only one who recognizes ways in which our children are being "groomed" (via social media) to buy into issues ONLY in the way the issues are promoted by political ideology zealots. That is never intended to be problem solving - instead the issues are being used promote the political ideology.<sigh> How can children be expected realize that when so many adults don't?

SGT Mary G. - The Left/Progressives do this very well, package what actions they want with as much emotion as they can. Emotion blocks out all thought process and just lets the person see the issue they are focused on.
