Another "For the Children" Global Warming Story

Yesterday I had the story that global warming would cause higher fevers in children. It didn't take long for the next installment of "stop global warming and save the children" hit the news:
Global warming concerns are keeping children awake at night
Half of young children are anxious about the effects of global warming, often losing sleep because of their concern, according to a new report today.

A survey of 1,150 youngsters aged between seven and 11 found that one in four blamed politicians for the problems of climate change.

Are you doing enough?

One in seven of those questioned by supermarket giant Somerfield said their own parents were not doing enough to improve the environment.

The most feared consequences of global warming included poor health, the possible submergence of entire countries and the welfare of animals.

Most of those polled understood the benefits of recycling, although one in 10 thought the issue was linked to riding a bike.
It's not global warming that's keeping these kids awake, it's the hysterial reporting on global warming and the incessant guilt trip that's being imposed on young minds that getting them upset.
