Today’s children are 30% less aerobically fit than their parents were at their age, a new study found.
The study points to climate change and rising temperatures adversely affecting childhood obesity, as children spend less time exercising outdoors.

I played outside in 90 degree temps when I was a kid. I drank from the hose and I went bike riding. What I didn’t have was a cell phone with TikTok and video games on it.

My kids don't have Tik-Tok and endless screen time, but the do have summer temps that have been over 100 degrees almost every day for more than 3 months now. It's literally not safe to go outside for extended periods of time like when we were kids.

How much fraud can you put into a report?
I exercised for hours in 100 degree+ weather in 90% humidity when I was growing up in South Carolina over thirty years ago.
Maybe it's the screen time? Or your idiotic Covid hysteria?
No, it couldn't be. You con artists.

Exactly. I play 4 hour tennis matches in the southern heat. My kids are outside cycling and running.

Lmao it’s not because of Climate Change. Perhaps it’s because of cellphones and video games that keep kids from playing outside?
