Young People Really Are Stupid

I am certainly concerned about the world my grandchildren will have to deal with.

All you have to do is look around you and see what we have done to the earth in the last.100 yrs, 500 yrs. What will it be like in another 100 years.

Anyone who isn't concerned is a fool

That's just plain ridiculous. Of course their are young people who support Trump. To deny so only shows how closed minded you are.

Says the guy who made the thread, young people are stupid. Good job bro! :lamo

Not "most people" - NOBODY has ever denied that climate changes. It is a completely bogus claim by leftists (and you will notice that it is ALWAYS the left) to shut up their opposition by deliberately lying and making claims they never made.

That is the entire purpose behind their Marxist Man-Made Global Warming scam - redistribution of wealth.

I hope you understand that these children are indoctrinated products of the left. A very common theme among leftists is to use children to support their cause. Remember the Hitlerjugend?

Or whether man is involved at all. It is the ultimate hubris to believe a single species could have any effect on global climate.

Are you saying that cow farts from a single species don't really effect climate change? Does this mean we can eat meat again?

Do you have kids?

Yes. I do have kids. Then again, I am not a milennial, and I do see the struggles they face, the ones people like you mock them for, the people that raised them.

Pathetic.

It is unrealistic to think we can revert back to the caveman days. And, the world population grows exponentially every day. No matter how green we make the planet, as long as the population grows at an exponential rate, we will never win the fight.
 
Moderate Right said:
What does that have to do with anything? First, the Paris accord allowed global temps to increase. Second, the Paris Accord required the US to pay in for third world countries. Third, The US was going to lose jobs to help save the entire planet. Fourth, the US can contribute just as much to climate change without having to put in for third world countries or make up for cheating countries.

Now if the US could attack climate change only for the US only and to hell with the rest of the world, then it would be easier to have a debate on the subject. It's not our obligation to save the entire planet.

You have no evidence for any of the above, especially the losing jobs part-unless, of course, you have a crystal ball and can predict which jobs would be lost, or where. Montreal was ratified by over 190 countries, rich and poor. America is rich; why does there always have to be a quid pro quo? Just like Trump's ridiculous 'what has Central America ever done for America?' in order to 'deserve' the aid which arbitrarily withdrew.
 
Moderate Right said:
Agreed with your first part. You're giving them too much credit for the last part. But, if man is responsible for global temperature increases, it is due to all human activity and as long as the population grows, the problem will get worse no matter how much we fight it. It will be a losing battle no matter how "green" we become. Decreasing the world's population might help solve the problem but that is not what these kids have in their minds. They have a tree hugger agenda and they aren't going to contribute to decreasing the world's population as some form of altruistic moral obligation they feel to save the planet. They are only using it for attention regarding their tree hugger agenda.

The problem the left has is explaining all the other prior warming periods if they want us to believe this warming period is cause by humanity. When there were just over 15 million humans on the entire planet 5,669 years ago (3650 BC) when the Minoan Warming Period began, and it was 4°C warmer than today. During the Roman Warming Period from 200 BC to 400 AD there were fewer than 300 million people on the entire planet, and it was also 3°C warmer than today. During the Medieval Warming Period between 950 and 1250 AD there were between 325 and 425 million, and it was also 2°C warmer than today. Yet we are suppose to believe that the Modern Warming Period that began in 1850 is entirely the fault of humanity?
 
Moderate Right said:
We've got young adults from Canada, Sweden, Germany, etc all pledging to not have children unless their countries take serious action on climate change. LOL. I mean we're talking about Canada, Sweden, Germany, and other tree hugger countries who were part of the Paris Accord. What in the hell is it these people want? I am personally glad that these idiots aren't going to be passing on their DNA. Let their breed die out.

Hi! Not for nothing, but have you ever wondered why the military prefers 18-19 year old's as recruits? Someone my age, if asked to join the military, would respond with, "You want me to do what? Go kill people? No thanks!"

The root word of 'infantry' provides an insight, nu?

There are many reasons why both you and I should have never had kids, that no one should ever have kids. It has been that way for decades, even centuries. But, we had kids anyway, despite problems in the world. There was the Great Depression and two world wars, not to mention a myriad of other things. Why on Earth would anyone have kids after all that? These kids need to get a grip on reality. Like many on the left, they naively believe that since the climate is changing we can actually do something about it. Nobody likes the fact that global temps are going up. No one. But, if these kids had more than peas for brains they would realize that the planet is not as near term doomed as they thought and by having kids they would have more ammo to fight global warming in the future when their kids grew up. They seem to believe alarmist crap like AOC saying the world is going to end in 12 years so, no sense in having any kids. What's next, US young adults saying they are not going to have children until meaningful gun control legislation is passed? Where does the nonsense stop?

Please. Millennials were having kids at super low rates before the commentary about AGW, so this is a non-starter.

Just because some kids are saying it now, doesn't mean it's a general feeling among millennials. They aren't having kids because it's too costly, lots of them still live at home with their parents, etc. Far more to it than your ragged attempt at generalizing.

Come on.

Perhaps a keen historian such as yourself can educate us on what unprecedented event might have started around about the 1850s?

So you can choose to help or hinder. I'd rather help than hinder.

Actually, the military will accept anyone between the ages of 17 and 39. The parent/guardian of the 17 year-old must consent first, and the maximum age for a new recruit in the Air Force is 39, the Army is 35, the Navy is 34, and the Marine Corps maximum recruit age is 28.

I went through boot with an "old man" recruit who was 23 years old. He did okay, particularly in the mental exams, but he had to struggle to keep up with us 18 year olds physically.

See: Air Force raises enlistee age limit from 27 to 39 - Air Force - Stripes

The Central American aid was going straight into the pockets of the thugs that Central Americans were trying to escape from. You're naive if you think these corrupt government thugs were using the money to help their people.

Right, so the millions of tons of crap we have poured into the atmosphere since the onset of the industrial revolution and the subsequent exponential use of fossil fuels began has had no impact. Is that what you are suggesting?

I've got news for you, warming periods are not unprecedented. As I have already demonstrated, they reoccur over long periods. Furthermore, whenever these warming periods do show up, humanity has always benefited significantly both socially and technologically. Consider all the technological advancements in the last 170 years alone. More than in the last 1,700 years. Warming periods are a boon to all species, but especially humans.
