May be those do gooders in Rochdale should read this when they are campaining to stop the windfarm on the moors. Its not so much our generation that GW will affect but our kids and grandkids!

Many kids loose sleep over ghost stories. There is no bigger ghost story than the myth of man made climate change.

I hope all the pro-MMCC loonies and other protagonists (such as the Biased Broadcasting Corporation) are happy they are ruining kiddies sleep with their incessant doom-mongering. If you want proof of this non-stop diatribe try watching Newsround on BBC1 - it always tries to get a "We're all doomed" MMCC-related story in every day without fail!

As a kid, I used to worry about when the bomb was going to drop. And that was an odds-on possibility in the 1960's and 70's. It'll do them good, and put their other problems in a perspective.

This so-called "study" is absurd. Global Warming is not affecting the welfare of children. Paranoia and scare tactics are what is affecting the welfare of children.

If anything, this "study" is an indication of how ludicrous the global warming fiasco has become.

Kids losing sleep over globalwarming what twaddle is next!?!?

Children are well aware that climate change is no longer a theory but a reality. The Artic ice sheets ARE melting, glaciers ARE receding, global temperatures ARE increasing. Whilst the majority of independent scientists are convinced the cause is man made, there is vociferous oil industry backed lobby claiming natural causes and therefore there is nothing we can do about it.
If a policeman comes to your door and says there is a 2000lb unexploded bomb outside and the experts are 90% sure it will go up in 15 minutes so you had better move somewhere safer. Who is going to say 'come back when you are 100% sure'? If you take the sensible course of action and move out and the experts are wrong at least you will be safe. On the otherhand if you are a doubter and opt to stay put on the 10% off chance and you are wrong then all is lost.
What the children are worrying about is whether their world is being resigned to despair or whether their parents generation will be taking positive action to save it for them and their children to come.

when I was a kid I always lost sleep over the worries of relatives plotting to kill me with kitchen knives. They're not abusive or anything, I was just riddled with paranoia as a child.

Look, children have the unique gift of discernment. You can't trick a bunch of kids into believing something is real that isn't. It's cold at my house, but tI'm sure these kids are onto something.

I've looked critically at both sides of this issue and I don't want my grandchildren to look back and say ” Grandpa was duped by this phony science to”.
Don't let Al Gore, a very delusional man, scare your children. I suggest you read to your children the hundreds of articles written by climatoligists and paleoclimatoligists.

I hate to say this Newsnut, but it was true and you were right. ;-)

Mike USA, your grandchildren will want to know why you did nothing when there was still a chance to halt the change.
