Begin in kindergarten and don't let up, ever
/
Some random global warming organization sent me the results of its poll of college students and requested that if I published it I give them credit. Happy to do so, just so that readers can see the effect of a steady diet of leftist indoctrination begun early and endlessly repeated.
(I’ve seen other polls that show more than a third of college students would prefer to live under a socialist government, not that they understand socialism, and that’s the best argument yet for opening our border to refugees from Central America and placing them in our schools: they can educate their new peers.)
Data Summary
An overwhelming majority (86%) of students experience some amount of climate grief or anxiety, and 60% agree that climate change is an urgent problem.
The majority (53%) also believe climate change should be a top priority for policymakers.
Only 5% of students agree that climate change is a hoax or fake news. A large majority (65%) disagree.
A third (33%) of students think oil and gas companies are most responsible for taking climate change action.
Students ranked ordinary individuals as the least responsible for climate change action.
Even so, 92% of students have personally taken actions to address climate change.
Climate change is an urgent problem in the eyes of most students — so much so that it's driving them to vote this November.
In a new BestColleges survey of 1,002 current or prospective undergraduate and graduate students, 40% of those who plan to vote say that climate change is the primary issue that motivates them to do so in the 2022 midterm elections.
An even larger percentage of these students (46%) say that a candidate's stance on climate change will influence how they vote on November 8.
For some students, climate change not only influences the personal actions they take but also the decisions they make about their future.
About a quarter of students (24%) say climate change influenced where they chose to go to college and an equal number say it impacts their course of study or career path.
A slightly higher percentage of students (29%) say that climate change will influence their job search and/or decision to accept a position. And more than a third of students (36%) say it will influence where they choose to live after college.
Men are significantly more likely than women to say that climate change will influence almost all these choices for them.
And, as bonus material, here’s an example of how the same propaganda is disseminated among adult readers. This one is from today’s Bangor Daily News which reports, wonderingly, that the rubes up north are more worried about the cost of food and heating their homes than they are about the imminent end of the world.
Stanwood, who said he heats with oil, suggested that higher prices for gas and oil heat are not the result of supply-chain issues or Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but rather part of a government effort to eliminate the use of fossil fuels — a conspiracy theory that has been widely shared on social media without evidence.
The president, the heads of the Department of Energy and EPA, every single Democrat politician, and the rulers of the New World Order have all called for the elimination of fossil fuels. For a reporter and her editor to flatly deny that there is such a plan is almost breathtaking. Then again, I suppose it shouldn’t be.
