children spend less time exercising outdoors

They aren't wrong on that, but climate change, really? Even if it was fucking 5 degrees hotter every day, climate change isn't the reason. I was sort of one of those and wish in hindsight I spent more time outside myself as a teenager especially, but I wasn't even close to some of these modern kids.

I guess it's because their parents just let them at least partly. I blame the shoving of kids out of the way to watch a phone from birth myself. They don't learn to ever want to do anything else. I mean one of the more well balanced kids I know is on the spoiled side and let do about whatever he wants and chooses to be active and go outside. The difference I see? While he did grow up with the phone/tablet he wasn't raised by it. Like his parents actually treated him like their kid and not some inconvenience that gets in the way of their life that should just shut up.
