It's almost as if telling people the world is going to end will scare them, especially people who are still impressionable because they haven't been alive very long.https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/most-american-teens-are-frightened-by-climate-change-poll-finds-and-about-1-in-4-are-taking-action/2019/09/15/1936da1c-d639-11e9-9610-fb56c5522e1c_story.html …

"Second, we must recognize that most of these feelings are perfectly normal. Many of us, adults as well as children, are experiencing 'climate grief.'"

And it does mention fears of nuclear war. https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2020/02/03/eco-anxiety-is-overwhelming-kids-wheres-line-between-education-alarmism/ …
