Crazy people making themselves crazier
‘Eco-anxiety’ over climate change causing stress, panic in millions, experts say
Alysis Morrissey was sitting at her desk last October when she stumbled upon a new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
“It said we only have 12 years to change our course and prevent a climate catastrophe from threatening life as we know it,” she recalled.
Immediately thinking of her two young children, she pondered, “What’s going to happen to them? Will they have a future?”
Morrissey’s heart rate increased, she couldn’t breathe and began hyperventilating. This quickly turned into a full-blown panic attack and she ended up in the nurse’s office at the private school in Connecticut, where she’s director of communications.
Experts say they’re seeing more panic episodes like this due to what’s termed “eco-anxiety,” or anxiety about impending catastrophic climate change.
Dr. Lise Van Susteren, a Washington psychiatrist, said she’s seen “an enormous uptick” in persons who identify climate change as a factor with their anxiety.
“Unless you live in a cave, you’ve been hearing about sea level rise, dreadful storms and headlines that warn a quarter of the population will be without water by a certain year,” she said.
Well, sure, some weak minded people will respond to the constant Pronouncements Of Doom. Climate cultists are already brainwashed enough so that all these reports make them even crazier.
Laura Schmidt and Aimee Lewis-Reau, co-founders of the Good Grief Network — a 10-step program to reduce eco-anxiety — said young people and children, the elderly and persons who have suffered some sort of trauma or grief are most vulnerable. But Van Susteren said just about everyone is experiencing such anxiety on some level — whether they know it or not.
See? Even though you aren’t a member of the Cult of Climastrology, you are still suffering from it. You just don’t know it. But, if you pay a tax, that can be solved.
Oh, and here’s a good example (via Twitchy)
