The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes.

    the e earth may not be suitable for human life in their lifetimes

    Oh come on, that’s a little exaggeration. There is less chance of that now than when we were kids and the USSR was going to blow up the USA and vice versa.

      "By 2050, a billion people will face coastal flooding risk from rising seas, the report says. More people will be forced out of their homes from weather disasters, especially flooding, sea level rise and tropical cyclones.

      If warming exceeds a few more tenths of a degree, it could lead to some areas becoming uninhabitable, including some small islands, said report co-author Adelle Thomas of the University of Bahamas and Climate Analytics."

        I’m certain you can understand the difference between a claim like “the earth will be unsuitable for human life” and “parts of the world will become uninhabitable”.

        I’m just as concerned about climate change as the next guy, but hyperbole doesn’t help our cause.
