The Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF) has called on responsible educators and journalists to stop terrifying children with exaggerated claims and worst-case predictions about the impact of global warming.
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, the GWPF has released a short video today to raise awareness of the growing mental health crisis among young children as a result of irresponsible climate scare-mongering.
According to a recent UK survey, 20% of British children are suffering from nightmares about global warming.
One of the main reasons for this deplorable development is scare tactics adopted by green campaigners, educators, commentators, and broadcasters to exaggerate the impact of global warming by emphasizing worst-case catastrophizing.
Relentless attempts to link every extreme weather event to climate change, and dire warnings about looming mass extinctions and the end of civilization are highly contentious but are presented to even very young children as facts.
In their enthusiasm to advance their political agenda, green campaigners have deliberately and cynically used children’s fears as a political weapon that has been turned against them and their well-being.
“Anyone who cares about the mental health of children should demand that they are protected from apocalyptic doom-mongers and their political agenda,” GWPF Director Benny Peiser said.

I recently read “One In Thirteen – The Silent Epidemic of Teen Suicide” by Jessica Portner. (Original copyright 1964, updated in 2000.) Any suicide is a loss to humanity – who knows what that individual may have accomplished if they had lived.
Before Global Warming became a political football, things were improving. Today, with AGW and Coronavirus being rammed down our throats by the MSM and “Social” sites – I hate to think what is being done to our teenager’s minds.
On the one hand, the UN in its UNICEF agency appears to be on a campaign to protect children from child abuse and child exploitation and on the other hand finds it convenient to indulge in child exploitation for its own climate game.
