SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A new survey from Yale shows that 70% of Americans are now very or somewhat worried about global warming as more and more of them show signs of anxiety or depression as a result of that worry.

Noah Oderberg is a psychologist working in Oakland. He says "You may have heard of PTSD- post traumatic stress disorder. A psychiatrist came up with pre-PTSD because it's not a trauma that's already occurred. It's a fear of a future trauma so it's this new idea. And it involves anxiety and depression."

He's seeing more and more people bringing up the subject of global warming in therapy citing feelings of sadness and despair. He says in California the wildfires and smoke are a trigger. The stakes are high.

“These Yale ‘surveys’ are the ones the Brandon regime will use to justify their illegitimate climate change agenda and to punish Americans who rely on fossil fuels.”

BINGO.

The stuff I’ve read all say that the climate concerns are pretty much at the bottom of everybody’s lists.

Ny guess is that they polled 1,000 college sophomore females and figured that would represent the U.S.

The thing causing the anxiety and depression is the lies the MSM is promulgating about the condition of our planet.

I have found that it’s more than 70% and there’s just no talking to them about it.

They claim that meteorologists…….. but when I tell them I’m a meteorologist and I disagree and why, they blow off what I have to say because it doesn’t fit the narrative they have been brainwashed to believe by the MSM.

Psychologists are stellar frauds. Not one study can be replicated. They are nothing but a gang of charlatans. Every practicing psych knows these facts full well.

I’ve given up on trying to correct people. Gender means sex now. The OED will add that definition to gender.
