Effects of global warming on young people?

Question

What effects will global warming have that will encourage young people (pre-teens/teens) to get help out? Will it effect things that are important to teens? Anything will help! Thanks.

Answer 1

Apparently it is making them dumber. I say this as the young kids apparently can no longer tell science from science fiction.

Answer 2

It mean our stupid ancestors could pollute as much as they like and we have to put up with all the recycling and wind farms and increasing freaky weather when we are old. It sucks that it all has to be laid on us to prevent it while they did what they wanted, and still do in the case of the US.

Answer 3

Tell them cats will die. Kids love cats.

Answer 4

Anthropogenic global warming is still a theory. Theoretically the effects on teens would be; they die from suffercation of either being drowned in the water or the earth runs out of oxygen due to the earth warming and causing trees to stop producing oxygen. But this won't happen for another 80 years or so.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Under the Sea!!!

Answer 7

It's our parent's parents who did this! (Grandparents)

And now we teens will have to suffer with what they did.

You have to get the facts out of what WILL happen.  

Like we will get less snow!  Meaning LESS SNOWBOARDING or SKIING!  AHH

Really hot summers!  We can't go out that much because it will be too hot!  AHH

Stuff like that.  It convinces me to make a change.  And I'm 15 btw.

Answer 8

Reading some of the answers I can see the "blame the parents" stuff. They need to start making a list of the stuff for which their kids are going to blame them.

In terms of consumption, I believe teens are holding up more than their share of the buying.

Also,not to put too fine a point on this, but no one is forcing teens to kill each other, s***w up their education, take drugs, and etc. All of which are doing more damage to their generation than global warming.

Just as in the '60's; another self righteous generation.

Answer 9

Forget about global warming, the earth is constantly going through cycles of climate change and will always do so.  As far as the environment, young people need to research all sides of the issues.  The environment should always be respected and used wisely, however blaming others and America is not the solutions. Those who blame others and play the victim are looking for a hand out and not solutions and that does not help the environment or each other.

Answer 10

NONE The climate of The Earth has fluctuated greatly over the years.

Answer 11

No, I'm a teen and nothing has happened besides that because of all the alarmism, it's going to harm my odds of getting a  good job.

Answer 12

Effects of global warming include but aren't limited to:

-A projected water crisis in 2020, that is said to make the current oil crisis look silly

-Rising sea levels: this will effect their precious beaches, and the bounty that we take from our wonderous oceans

-Heroundous hurricanes that will ruin our coast lines, many being hot vacation spots

-For all of those baseball fans, and Christmas Junkies, global warming effects them. With the enviorment going into an endless stage of turbulence, the trees that baseball bats are made of, are being endangered, same goes for X-mas trees.

-Fishing junkies are in trouble because the temp. in the water is going up, causing an un-natural habitat for most fish, resulting in disease and death.

WELL the fact of the matter is, is that it effects everyone, litterealy, and I could go on for days.
