‘Positivity Sandwich!’ AP on How to Manage ‘Anxiety’ from ‘Emotional Toll’ of Climate Panic

The Associated Press appears to believe that people are waking up every day having nervous breakdowns over the spectre of — wait for it — climate change.

AP lifestyle writer Leanne Italie put out a crackpot piece of green freak propaganda June 25 that competed with The Babylon Bee for funniest satire of the day. “Anxiety, grief, anger, fear, helplessness. The emotional toll of climate change is broad-ranging, especially for young people.”

Yes, this was a real sentence in what is supposedly a news item. It just got worse: “Many worry about what the future holds, and a daily grind of climate anxiety and distress can lead to sleeplessness, an inability to focus and worse. Some young people wonder whether it’s moral to bring children into the world. Many people grieve for the natural world.”

Who's responsible for trying to scare people to death? Journalists, for sure.

But never fear, exclaimed Italie: “Activists, climate psychologists and others in the fight against climate change have a range of ways to build resilience and help manage emotions.” AP actually pays writers anywhere between $60,000 and $101,000 a year to pollute its website with a heavy overdose of this kind of brain-dead codswallop.

Literally 60% of the left is in mental health care. They are having nervous breakdowns about whatever the media tells them to worry about. It’s pathetic.

[Menehune56]

I’d say beyond pathetic. Psycho!

[Leaning Right]

I handle my anxiety over Climate Change by living in a bunker in my backyard. I wonder why the article didn’t mention that option.

Side note to the ATF: Don’t get all worked up. The wine bottles are real. But the guns aren’t.

Laughter is the best medicine. Whenever anyone brings up global warming, just laugh at them.

Imagine how much I’m suffering as I touch off a burn pile you can see from orbit. It’s emotional hell, I tell you.

“Laughter is the best medicine. Whenever anyone brings up global warming, just laugh at them”

I’m thinking of becoming a TDS coach. Work on transitioning lefties to normal people.

You’ll have better luck changing lead into gold........
