Hunh, given those numbers against costs-nothing feel-good questions, I actually came to the opposite conclusion, i.e. GenZ cares about other stuff way more like ya know jobs, housing, cost of living, etc. Instead of 25% giving lackluster priority to these broad climate goals I expected 75+%.
Am I "not getting it" ? Sorry...
- antisthenes 5y agoIt's typical selection bias. News outlet needed a story about climate, so they decided to interview students until they got the sound bites they needed. Obviously that doesn't accurately represent the wider sentiment. From my experience/view, Gen Z is extremely materialistic, so climate work (real work, not virtue signaling) is pretty far down their list of priorities.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoLet’s hope you’re wrong and that this article isn’t trying to put the cart before the horse. We need the next generation who are climate-aware-from-birth to go hard into it with both feet and don’t look back. Better for everyone if they do.
