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.

Where have I called you and most climate scientists liars? If you read the thread I have challenged the lies and hype from climate activists which bears no resemblance to the science in the IPCC reports, for example using RPC8.5 as the norm.
That caught my eye in today's mailbox and inspired sharing some relevant information in another posting. Obviously someone has made rather illogical accusations; hopefully the climate inquisition is still at bay ;)
An interesting article was recently published in Nature that may provide some colour to the "99% CAGW consensus":
Top climate scientists are sceptical that nations will rein in global warming
"Nature conducted an anonymous survey of the 233 living IPCC authors last month and received responses from 92 scientists — about 40% of the group.
Most of the survey’s respondents — 88% — said they think global warming constitutes a ‘crisis’, and nearly as many said they expect to see catastrophic impacts of climate change in their lifetimes."

Perhaps we can conclude from the above:
1. Only 88% out of 92 IPCC scientists who cared to respond think global warming constitutes a ‘crisis’, 81 individuals. Such result seems to be quite different from alleged 99% consensus on CAGW emergency, even surprising, considering the company where one would expect a 100% consensus.
2. Hypothetically, the scientists who responded may likely be the ones interested in actively pushing the IPCC agenda and leaning towards supporting the catastrophic anthropogenic climate change. In such case, consensus among IPCC scientists regarding CAGW could be within the range 35% to 88%.
Although these thoughts are certainly not a scientific analysis, perhaps they can calm those who believe that all IPCC scientists stand behind the ‘climate crisis’ propaganda.
