Lord, we pray that You would protect our children from harmful, negative news and narratives. We ask for new that reports only the facts and honors You.

For years now, IFA has openly called out the enemy’s attack on children. Satan seeks to kill children in the womb through abortion, to separate them from their parents and God-given identity through transgenderism, and to ruin children’s mental health through lies about the nation and the world. A recent article published by UK-based Future Net Zero (FNZ) highlights the sinister ways that the third strategy is being implemented.

In the article “Climate change sparks anxiety among children,” writer Garima Satija highlights the rise of anxiety in young children. Writing for FNZ, Satija references a Save the Children survey of 3000 children, “nearly 70%” struggle with “climate anxiety.” Satija, FNZ, Save the Children, and other green groups have used this data to call for climate-related action. Gwen Hines, Chief Executive of Save the Children, said, “Children should be excited about the future, but instead they are carrying the weight of huge global issues which they had no part in creating.”

These groups seem to lay the blame for this “climate anxiety” solely at the feet of the politicians.

At IFA, we know that much of what we hear about climate change is exaggerated or outright false. For example, we have reported on scientists who edited their research to fit the climate change narrative, as well as scientists who openly and directly challenged the very concept of a “climate emergency.” Perhaps the most insidious effect of these lies, however, is on the mental health of our children. As the FNZ article says, nearly 70% of children struggle with anxiety related to the climate. While the survey was taken in the UK, we can assume that a similar percentage of American children struggle with the same problem. One look at TikTok or any other popular social media will reveal that American teens are just as stressed about climate change as any other youth, if not more so.

With so many lies about the climate swirling about, perhaps it is not political inaction that is making children anxious and depressed. Maybe it is the 24/7 trumpeting of lies and climate alarmism that is terrifying our kids. The only question is, when will the lies and misinformation stop? And, as we wait for the record to be corrected, how many kids will suffer as a result of the lies?

Join us in praying that children in America and around the world will be protected from damaging political lies and narratives designed to incite rather than inform.

I don’t worry about Noah’s flood today; God said it would not happen again. But our world will be judged and fire will be part of it.

Father God,
I pray in the name of Jesus that You silence the voice of the enemy speaking lies about a climate emergency. Lift the oppression of this dark communication off the minds and hearts of children and adults. Help them breathe deeply of the freedom of rest and trust in their Creator and Savior.
So be it and Amen.

Revelation actually tells me all I need to know about the destiny of this planet. It’s destruction will not be a result of climate change, it will occur through the 21 judgments of the Lord God Almighty. Fearing climate change is not the answer. Only the fear of the Lord, and the salvation provided in trusting Yeshua is the answer. We are to be good stewards of this earth, but it belongs to Him, and we answer to Him alone.
On a practical note, Answers in Genesis has a plethora of excellent resources about climate change with accurate scientific data interpreted with a Biblical worldview – I urge parents to check it out and share it with their children.

So if I am a Bible believing, serious devout Evangelical Christian, I have to turn my back on pretty much the entire scientific community and believe that they are in some strange conspiracy to fool us all on the serious consequences of what is happening in the climate. I do not find that consistent with a serious reading of the Bible and I see why so many children of Evangelical parents are turning their back on the faith.

    Dan, much of the scientific community subscribes to secular humanism, which means they are – yes, deceived by Satan and they do not understand who God is or what He is doing. They choose to suppress our natural knowledge of God and embrace the idea that Mankind rules itself. Since they have turned away from Truth and Divine Revelation, they can not guide people with true knowledge and wisdom. The truth is, the secular scientific community is blind and foolish as they exalt man’s “knowledge” over God’s. The creature is not greater or smarter than the Creator. And God’s thoughts and plans are incomprehensible to people, unless He reveals them, as He did through Jesus. This world is definitely in Crisis, but it’s one caused by our sin nature, which can only be redeemed through faith in God.

      With the same degree of certainty, you could say that much of the medical community subscribes to secular humanism. So, go ahead and follow your beliefs to the full, ignore any advice your doctors give you and see how that works out for you and your family if you can get them all to stick with you in your beliefs Good luck with that going well for you.

        We are called to steward our environment, not worship it. Many reputable scientists do not support the climate change model. Many years ago, we were going to freeze to death. Then the world was going to overheat so we need to get rid of carbon dioxide, which is the fuel for plants to grow and thrive and put oxygen into the air. And yes, there are times I disagree with doctors because I find a better product to do the same job.

It’s the attacks on families that is causing the anxieties in kids, Not the climate.
