I hope the Climate Activists are proud of the effect their lies are having on the younger generation

If this survey is real the messages these young people are receiving are completely wrong.

We need to reduce our impact on our planet but CO2 is a complete red herring. The current ECS (temperature increase for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere) is centred around 3°C (IPCC AR6). The 2°C will destroy civilisation is simply made up.

    "I'm glad you agree that global warming is real and some of it is likely to be anthropogenic. What do you propose to do about it?"

    Considering that the effect of anthropogenic CO2 on climate change is rather small, I would trust the recommendation of many climate scientists, among them MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen: have the courage to do nothing about CO2 emissions in particular. Energy efficiency is another matter, this should be pursued everywhere.

    I do not think we can solve the climate issues here; I would rather suggest listening to scientific debates on the topic, although there are only a few these days. I can recommend a debate on EconTalk in May 2021 between climate optimist John Christy (University of Alabama, Huntsville) and climate pessimist Kerry Emanuel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology); they found agreement that climate science is far from settled.

    I hope that in addition to Dr. Hayden's presentation I mentioned in an earlier posting, the above answered most questions. Regarding Mauna Loa CO2 data analysis: I only compared monthly changes to similar changes in previous years and found no striking differences.
