You obviously don’t realize that we are safer today than at any time in human history. There is less violence, less poverty and hunger, and less crime, but you wouldn’t know it by reading the internet or watching the news.

I grew up with the threat of nuclear annihilation hanging over my head, and far more crime and violence in the country and the world. I even contemplated not bringing children into the world myself, but my mother told me every generation thinks that way at some point. Her parents grew up in the Great Depression and were hit hard by the Dustbowl, then fought in WWII or lived through it in my grandmother’s case. My mother was part of the duck and cover generation and had many friends drafted to fight in Vietnam. We all have our problems, but ending childbirth won’t solve them.

Those kids are just a few years away from adulthood, and they are very political and educated.

As odd as it might sound, another world war would be less of a problem for our planet than our economy and life style are. After all, our planet can live without humans, but not the other way round.
The threat of nuclear annihilation existed, but frankly, it never affected me back then because I always knew humans are not stupid enough to actually do it, not even the fascists in Washington, Moscow, London etc.

It's sad that our schools are brainwashing these kids. However, not all young people are gullible little sheep like that.

Maybe it's best that these easily fooled kids don't have children until they grow up enough to think for themselves and realize what a scam the global warming hoax is.

And if these kids turn into adults, and are still useful idiots, it's just as well they do not pass on their defect sheeple genes to another generation.

Ignorant, is still ignorant, all it means is that most of what they know, is just not so.

They are not ignorant. They are less ignorant that Trump or Merkel for instance. Not only are they less ignorant, they are also less diplomatic, they say what our politicians don't dare say.

They are being educated ti believe that seasonal weather events are proof of man-made global climate change, which makes them ignorant.

Well, we all saw the reports of how close we actually did come to annihilation once the Soviet Union fell, but we just tried not to think about it at the time because we had no control over it. And perhaps you’re unaware of just how dirty world wars are for the environment. They’re not using electric tanks or solar planes you know. How many ships full of oil are still sitting on the bottom of the ocean from that war? I am not sure, but my guess is many thousands of tons.

And no matter what happens, rest assured that our planet will live on even if humans won’t.
