If you’re experiencing anxiety — or something worse, like hopelessness or despair — about the future of the planet, you’re not alone. The American Psychological Association published a guide for therapists two years ago to help them counsel patients about what some have also called “eco-anxiety.” The report stated in part that negative psychological responses to climate change, such as conflict avoidance, hopelessness, fatalism and fear — even aggression and violence — were growing.

Leftist chaos. The end of the world is nigh. Their world is a dark, dank and hopeless place to live.

Surprised they aren’t already committing mass suicide like the poor souls in Jonestown.

The climate change cult is destructive and dangerous.

We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

2 Timothy 4:3 3For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Should be a class action suit against those who spread this fear.

They are causing Direct and immediate damage to people.

I’m in such pain

There will always be false prophets. And they manipulate kids like Greta Thuneberg into regurgitating their nonsense.

To quote Sir Thomas More from Robert Bolt’s screenplay, “A Man For All Seasons”:

“What doth it profit a man he should gain the whole world and lose his soul?”

And men aren’t even desirous of worldly gain these days but they’re forfeiting their souls anyway. Go figure.

That is from Mark 8:36. Yep, very true. We indeed live in unusual times. Nothing is sacred, nothing is proper, nothing is valued.

Imagine a world where only ecoconscious folk ran them?

pretty scary thought, huh?

Tom Steyer wants to Ban Climate Change..

but made a lot of dough wheelin’ and dealin’ in coal in his hedge fund days.

Maybe he needs some counseling too. Both him and AOC.

Its useless trying to get such people to stop being “woke”.

Mass insanity has gripped the Left and it will get worse before it gets better.

Lets hope there are thousands of “eco anxiety” suicides.

Apparently she made the prediction January 22, 2019.

10.99 years is (12.00-1.01) year after the day she made her prediction; 0.01 year is 3.65 days, so that would be sometime on January 25, 2020, which will fall on a Saturday.
