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.

Probably a misunderstanding. It’s possible that 70% or so of

The survey question was probably wrote by a weasel
Q.
“ Do you feel anxiety or depression over the effect climate change is having on our nation ?”
A:
“ hell ya I do. This crackpot idea that the sun doesn’t control our weather but cow farts does is insane and is just an excuse to destroy our economy, bankrupt our nation and usher in global communism !”

See how easy weasel is ?
Spit.
I am personally enjoying the 70 degree temps to start November here in Massachusetts.
This makes sense. A third of the people know it’s fake, and aren’t concerned at all. Another third believe the lies, and are wailing in fear. A final third are ambivalent, and are a bit concerned, but aren’t cowering under their beds at night.
“Either we are a country full of naive idiots or this story is full of crap.”
Why can’t it be both?
I don’t know one person in my life that’s concerned about “climate change”.
May I ask what part of the country you live in?
The same 70% who said Jeb Bush should be the GOP candidate in ‘16?
NY until a year and a half ago.
Now NH.
And +70% of people experience depression over climate change? Interesting...
70%?!! Hell, these days half the country doesn’t know what day of the week it is much less that “we’re all gonna die”[TM] from. well, summer in 11 years (or is it 12)?
It’s official. 70% of Americans are stupid.
I’m one of the 70%: Lib eco-freak climate change radicals, and their political allies’ schemes, definitely causes anxiety.
