The study, Beyond Storms and Droughts: The Psychological Impacts of Climate Change, led by College of Wooster psychologist Susan Clayton, warns that “we can expect a likely increase in mental health-related symptoms and conditions as a result of climate change.”
Communities at risk include those with high levels of poverty, lower education levels, large populations of older adults, children and infants, disabled people, recently arrived immigrants, migrants, or refugees, “all of whom tend to demand greater access to services that climate change can put at risk.”
Adding to the misery, global warming is expected to contribute to an increase in mosquitoes, ticks, allergies, asthma and poison ivy, which will serve to increase global anxiety.

Seriously, these people are in need of institutionalization. This is just plain creepy.
Reminds me of a certain movie... If you create it; they will come.
“will cause increased “ecoanxiety” resulting in severe psychological and sociological consequences.”
I’m sure the angst is every bit as real as the stress felt by the Americans hitting the beaches of Normandy on D Day.
These people are insane.

This whole ‘problem’ is getting like the old ‘joke’
Doctor tells patient:
“You seem to be pretty fit for your age, however to increase your chances of living longer, I would want you to cut back on the bacon and eggs and the other ‘high risk’ foods.”
Patient...”My grandfather religiously had 4 eggs and half a pound of bacon for breakfast EVERY morning, worked the cattle and fields ALL DAY, regardless of the weather, had a hearty lunch and heartier supper, and he lived to be 98”
DR:
“Ah yes, but that was before we were knew of the cholesterol problem”.
