It seems that the visage of Al Gore and his minions are causing Scottish children to loose their sleep. From The Scotsman:
Children losing sleep over global warming
Half of children between the ages of seven and 11 are anxious about the effects of global warming and often lose sleep over it, according to a new report.
A survey of 1,150 youngsters found that one in four blamed politicians for the problems of climate change, while one in seven said their own parents were not doing enough to improve the environment.
The most feared consequences of global warming included poor health, the possible submergence of entire countries and the welfare of animals.
Most of those polled in the survey by supermarket chain Somerfield understood the benefits of recycling - although one in ten thought it was linked to riding a bike.
Pete Williams, of Somerfield, said: "Kids are exposed to the hard facts as much as anybody. While many adults may look the other way, this study should show that global warming is not only hurting the children of the future, it's affecting the welfare of kids now."
Way to go alarmist media... While growing up, my night fears were the Soviets until it was pointed out that they didn't want to destroy us, they wanted to move here. The presentation of the debate about Global Warming and our personal contribution to it is presented in such a sensationalized way that it's very easy for someone not trained in critical scientific thinking to get hopelessly swayed by a few theories and to ignore all of the others.
