It's bad enough that NBC News is spending hours of coverage devoted, strictly to the global warming cause but now they're even squeezing their green indoctrination into stories on tween stress. On Wednesday's "Today" show Ann curry highlighted some of the reasons kids today are more stressed than ever and cited "climate change" as one of them.
The following occurred in the 9am half-hour of the October 17, "Today" show:
Ann Curry: " Feeling a little stressed out these days? Well you're not the only one. A new report out says that today's tweens, that's children between the ages of 7 and 11, may be feeling more stress than ever. It may not be a surprise when you consider some of the reasons why. From the senseless violence in the news-"
Unidentified boy: "Sometimes stuff happens around school and stuff and people start stuff."
Curry: "-the effects of climate change-"
Unidentified boy#2: "It's killing all the animals and melting all the icebergs."
Curry: "-to all those tests in school."
Girl: "I worry about, like math and social studies because last time I almost flunked my social studies test."
Curry: "-kids are stressed out."

Gee, Ann ... Ya did good!
October 17, 2007 - 15:14 ET by drillanwrGee, Ann ... Ya did good! You and Al Gore and the rest of the GWCult succeeded in scaring the living crap out of a generation of kids ... you and the neoPRAVDA slapping them around with whatever negative spin and crafting of war coverage you could come up with ... and now deflecting the responsibility for it.
Throw in test anxiety and instead of birth control the schools should be passing out ludes !
Actually, my cure for these poor stressed out kids: SHUT YOU AND THE REST OF THE MSM OFF!!

It's just another liberal
October 17, 2007 - 17:19 ET by KevroyIt's just another liberal hitjob on conservatives. The truth is, THEY are the cause of it. When I was seven years old, I didn't even know there was a war in Vietnam going on. Because my parents wanted us to be kids, not worrying about the ridiculous world the adults had created. We were'nt bombarded with it by our teachers and there were only 3 channels on TV, and kids were not watching Walter Cronkite and crew.
Now, kids are stressed out by the war, aids, global warming, bird flu, SARS, staph, STD's, racism, madcow disease, lead toys from China, Britney, the cost of Hannah Montana tickets, the dangerous game of tag, and impending asteroid strikes.
They should concentrate on teaching our children to speak proper English. This kid was embarrassing:

Gotta do something!
October 17, 2007 - 15:18 ET by DunqueThis kind of crap is an inevitable result of the plethora of broadcast options and the need to fill time on those options. Who wants to listen to a story about "tweens" who are doing fine? Nobody. So let's manufacture a story about tween stress and fill it with as much crap as we can so that another 3-minute slot is filled.
Really, this is no different than the approach of a modern-day liberal who imagines/manufactures/creates a crisis so that he or she can get air and, regrettably, policy time.
For a society that has riches far beyond what could even have been imagined 50 years ago, we sure do have a lot of crises.

Some of the problem is quite a lot of people have way too much time on their hands and their noses where they don't belong ...along with trial lawyers at their side to get in at every angle they can.

has anything to do with their increased stress levels?

October 17, 2007 - 15:39 ET by danboI wish I could tell this kid to ask for the names of the species that have already ceased to exist. And specifically what species have died out due to climate change rather than due to hunting, land use changes, or as a result of the introduction a preditor or competing species.
There's a lot of BS here. And people like ANN are the reason you're stressed.
Of course, when I was a kid. I thought I'd have to survive in a make shift fall out shelter for a couple of years.

October 17, 2007 - 16:24 ET by danboI found the list. Even better. It's Anthropogenic. Though they say "150" species have gone extinct "every one caused by humans" And it goes back to 1627.
The list has 27. Who are the other 123?
So 27 or 150 depending on which you use in 380 years. I though it was hundreds per day?
But please look at the list. An interesting list. BTW some look like sub-species rather than destinct species.
Which died due to "Climate change"?

October 17, 2007 - 17:54 ET by QueenMumFor the life of me, I just can't get upset about another species facing extinction. (Other than pandas. I really like pandas.)
It's all about survival of the fittest. In the event of climate change, the species which manage to survive either by adapting to the conditions or moving to a more suitable climate are the ones which are meant to maintain the population.
Power to the people!
"I really like pandas."
October 19, 2007 - 20:51 ET by MikeB"I really like pandas." Why? Do they taste like chicken? Cats and dogs make some fine tamales, and cat skins can be cured to make the sounding boards for banjos.
I am against hunting a critter just to put its head on your wall, but hunting for food is okay, as is killing critters that damage your crops or herds, or are pests.
But, all this natural organic fertilizer about polar bears dying because of manmade global warming is ridiculous. Polar bears managed to survive the Medieval Warm Period just fine. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any Polar bears today. Species have been going extinct for ages (literally). Very few of the extinctions have been due to interferance from mankind. In the natural world doodoo occurs. Deal with it.

Ann may have a
October 17, 2007 - 15:47 ET by Clear thinkerAnn may have a point...
My 14 yr old granddaughter does get stressed over this subject. This year has been especially tough for her because she has a couple of teachers that promote AGW almost on a daily basis. Because my wife and I are a large part of her education she knows the other side of the debate. When she has challenged her teachers with question like "why are the other planets warming" she get's told she doesn't understand the complexitity of the problem. So then she asks the obvious question "if it's so complex could you please explain it to us" and she is immediately shutdown.
So Ann may be right.... I know of one child that is stressed out over AGW. She doesn't like being lied to!

And schools shouldn't be wasting valuable educational time showing scary movies anyway.

Liberals abusing kids. . .
October 17, 2007 - 17:55 ET by TheTruthI’m not surprised with all the ‘Liberal Indoctrinating’ going on today’s public schools like forcing kids to watch Al Gore’s con job four, five, or more times in English class, Science class, History class, Foreign language, physical education class, music class, rainy recesses, etc. . . Tell a lie enough times and people start to believe it. Poor kids, could this be classified as Liberals abusing kids?

QUOTE (Nunatsaiq News)
"Fears that two-thirds of the world's polar bears will die off in the next 50
years are overblown, says Mitchell Taylor, the Government of Nunavut's
director of wildlife research. [...] While he agrees that seals are
essential food for bears as they fatten up during the spring and summer
months - seal blubber makes up half of the bears' energy intake - he
also suspects bears will be able to supplement their diet with other
foods, such as walrus. During the summer months polar bears may also
forage on berries, sedges and other plants, as well as bird eggs, to
supplement their diet. And Taylor also points out female polar bears go
nine months without eating at all during pregnancy. Besides, Taylor
says he and numerous Inuit hunters have seen bears catch seal without
the presence of sea ice. Bears sometimes find a place on shore to
pounce on seals swimming by. Or they may catch seals caught in tidal
pools, or sneak up on their prey at night. Taylor even suggests polar
bears may float still on the water to fool seals into thinking they are
hunks of sea ice."

kids and TV
October 17, 2007 - 19:48 ET by USA4freedomWhen I was visiting my brother in law, I got up early around
5am (I’m a morning person) only to see his 8 year old daughter watching the
weather channel. I asked her how the weather looked for a day at the beach? She
turned around and started with this whole speech about how global warming is
going to destroy the planet. That the cottage we were in on the beach will be
under water in just a few years.
It’s sad, when I was 8 the only thing I was worried about in
the summer was if I could go fishing or swimming, or play baseball with my
friends.
I told her that things will be ok and that maybe she should
not watch too much TV.
When her Mom got up, she "told on me"..lol..
Her mom said: so.. you.. don’t.. believe.. in.. global..
warming..?? Dripping with sarcasm. At that point I start to laugh, I told her:
hey you are in America you can think what you like and I can as well.
I’m glad I was leaving the next day..

Certainly, some of them are swallowing this GW crap, but not one of them was moving his or her home to higher ground, none were on stilts, and none of them were for sale with a sign - Selling Due to GW!

Her friend kept saying that the polar icecaps were melting and we were going to be destroyed. My daughter pointed out that God said he would never destroy the earth again by water.

I don't know how any of us survived our childhoods
October 18, 2007 - 10:45 ET by YahooWatcherThose Born 1930-1979!
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats,
booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because .
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were
back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house
and knocked on the door or rang the bell,
or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives
for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they
will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

October 18, 2007 - 13:12 ET by danboAnd at first we had no TV. We listened to hate radio. Amos and Andy, The creeking door, the Phantom, and Gunsmoke. And we learned things from it. Like good and bad.
And as tough as it is now for the poor tweens beings scared by newscasters and politicians that the the polar bears might become extinct. We lived with the threat of being incenerated in an instant. Or spending years cramped in a fall out shelter.
