Last I checked we never had one for smallpox or polio.A cure would also be useful.

It's way too complicated an issue to put it down to that as the reason. I know young people, I have family that are young and there are a variety of reasons. Most notably is good health and the invincibility mindset of youth. They know why I chose to get the vaccine and they agree with my reasoning. It doesn't ring true for them.I think that is because they are aware of the lies they have been told by authorities. With covid we had way too many doctors and top scientists in their fields and other trained people that began to speak up.
With climate change, there were few who could speak out and they were effectively censored and smeared and the journals controlled.
...it's too complicated an issue for rejection to be put down as from knowledge of being lied to by the authorities, but not too complicated an issue for a mindset of invincibility to be used to dismiss it.It's way too complicated an issue to put it down to that as the reason.

An interesting exploration would be to ask the kids if they believe they have been lied to by the authorities about anything covid-related. Then about climate change.It's way too complicated an issue to put it down to that as the reason. I know young people, I have family that are young and there are a variety of reasons.

The biggest doubters of some of the climate change hypotheses are older people and those are the most vaccinated.
I'm not sure if there are "cures" for viruses. We just happened to be dealing with one that is far more contagious then most and a more deadly than many.A cure would also be useful.
I didn't dismiss it or reject it. I really chose my words carefully. Seems these days if one isn't in total agreement you've dismissed it or you're hater or you're the enemy....it's too complicated an issue for rejection to be put down as from knowledge of being lied to by the authorities, but not too complicated an issue for a mindset of invincibility to be used to dismiss it.
Not saying kids are ultra consistent, but that is inconsistent with good reasoning IF they agree with your reasons and believe the reports.
I think you're placing too much weight on your own kids' reasoning vs what other kids are picking up. Have your kids ever been made aware of the lies climate scientists are telling? I guess NOT AT ALL, not once on any part of it.
Do they know they have been lied to about covid?
So you don't believe humans have had any impact on the climate? I'm not suggesting we stop all fossil fuel use and coal burning but I'm 60 and have live in Colorado for 53 years and it's not the same climate it was 50 years ago. I don't need a scientific study tell me what I have observed. Natural temperature cycles simple do not change this fast....it's too complicated an issue for rejection to be put down as from knowledge of being lied to by the authorities, but not too complicated an issue for a mindset of invincibility to be used to dismiss it.

The question is posed to elicit the answer you want, in order to make a point. You could ask any human in the world if they ever felt lied to by an authority about any topic and the answer is always going to be yes. The number one answer I've heard from young people is they are healthy and don't feel in danger of getting very sick. Most think they could get covid, but don't think they will suffer much from it. My sampling is small, YMMV.An interesting exploration would be to ask the kids if they believe they have been lied to by the authorities about anything covid-related. Then about climate change.
I believe that it's impossible that we do not have an impact. So that is STRONG belief. I just do not believe what a central group of self serving continual proven liars tell us.So you don't believe humans have had any impact on the climate?
How would you know from such a short span of time, what climate can do? You simply cannot know natural climate cycles from your personal observation.I don't need a scientific study tell me what I have observed. Natural temperature cycles simple do not change this fast.
Here's an observation. I use to catch salamanders and newts in and around lakes in Colorado as a kid. I have not even seen either one of these in over 30 years as they are very sensitive to changes. Amphibians are simply far less abundant here overall.
The questions are not about any topic. And this is about concerted lying by top authorities. Go ahead and ask them if they know of any climate science lies. I doubt you yourself can identify even ONE lie.The question is posed to elicit the answer you want, in order to make a point.

I've said that natural cycles take 1000s of years so sensing a clear change over 50 years implies to me it's not a natural cycle...it's being impacted by humans.How would you know from such a short span of time, what climate can do? You simply cannot know natural climate cycles from your personal observation.
And nothing else but temperature changed? No invasive species, no chemical changes to the water, no changes to the water course, no increase in small predators, no pulp and paper mills effluent, no crowds of people trampling on their habitat?

I know of no other factors that have impacted amphibians here as much as what I feel is climate change. It's just an observation as I thought catching salamanders was cool and would liked to have done that with my kid but he's never seen one.
Exposure to warm water could provide a mechanism for avoiding or clearing Bd infection.
You do not think it possible that there could be some compound or gift of nature that would prevent a virus fromI'm not sure if there are "cures" for viruses. We just happened to be dealing with one that is far more contagious then most and a more deadly than many.
Hmmmm. During the midst of the 1979 oil crisis John Denver got caught installing a 4000 gallon gasoline tank on his property. That’s a little bit hypocritical many thought at the time. He was also a huge aviation fan “I’m leaving on a jet plane” , and sadly enough died in a plane he was piloting (on an invalid airman’s certificate) because of a fuel starved engine. His father was a record-breaking pilot in the Air Force too. With all of that said I’m a big fan of John Denver. And aviation. And anyways what’s the difference between a private jet and a private car? Is it that most people can’t afford one?1973. Not an expert, just a really good guy. An inspirational guy. Hey, there's even some biking in there too
I think a lot of people care in the same way, but are turned off by extremists on both sides. Messaging on every issue these days is just off. Is it the social media effect? I don't know. We need more inspirational leaders. All we seem to get is blame and shame. Who is inspired to follow that? Only the ones already following. It's tough to be preached at by some guy that won't hesitate to fly on a private jet to go to dinner.

Phil,
Here are some speculations on correcting SSTs to partly explain the 1940s warming blip.
If you look at the attached plot you will see that the landalso shows the 1940s blip (as I’m sure you know). So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this would be significant for the global mean --but we’d still have to explain the land blip.
I’ve chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are 1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips -- higher sensitivity plus thermal inertia effects. My 0.15 adjustment leaves things consistent with this, so you can see where I am coming from.
Removing ENSO does not affect this.
It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip,but we are still left with “why the blip”.
