Every autumn, news feeds get flooded with stories about climate change. That’s because around this time each year, global leaders gather to discuss collective efforts to limit our emissions of planet-warming gases, released primarily from oil, gas and coal.
Some of the information coming out of the COP30 conference is bleak. But it’s not just COP. Climate stories can be difficult to consume year-round, whether it’s about natural disasters, victims of heat waves or sea level rise or new studies about global warming impacts.
“When you throw a ton of scary facts and information at people, their nervous system shuts down. It’s a coping mechanism,” said Sarah Newman, founder and executive director of the Climate Mental Health Network.
That sense of dread, doom, fear or hopelessness gets lumped into a single term: climate anxiety. Surveys from the American Psychiatric Association have repeatedly shown that a significant number of Americans experience climate anxiety.
It’s such a big part of climate action that COP30 has increased the number of mental health programs offered during the event, including several that focus on boosting mental health, building psychological resilience in the face of climate change and integrating mental health discussions in education. The conference also has an ongoing mental health corner, which hosts art and meditation sessions.
Dealing with it, just like dealing with climate change, is an ongoing process. Here’s how to get started.

We are heading for an Ice Age.
Which we did not cause.
Sea levels are going to fall.
Deal with it.
Turn off your TV.
Kill Your Television
Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye!
But what would I play Anno 117: Pax Romana on?
How many acres of our precious rain forests were mercilessly chopped down to host this self congratulatory orgy of climate blame? And how many tons of jet fuel were burned by the guests to get there?
COP30 conference is bleak because they have NO MONEY ,LOL
more like COPE
What climate anxiety?
My climate anxiety is that some stupid zealot is going to try to ban my charcoal grill.
What do the UN and Politicians know about weather and predicting the Future , NOTHING
AP is the chief Climate propagandist. They will never give up the con, never.
I find having a couple highballs while watching a good football game clears all that climate anxiety from my mind. They should try it.
And it stays away until I read the next stupid article about it.
“We’ve Got...” Along with climate propaganda, we get bad grammar, too.
Climate change = a bunch of mentally ill left-wingers hell bent on taking away our choices, our liberty and our freedom which enriching themselves from the scam to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars each (like Al Gore).
so all the climate change gaslighting is making people crazy
i think i have a solution
Climate anxiety? My advice us to start drinking heavily.
Climate grant illustrates growth in philanthropy-funded news
NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press said Tuesday that it is assigning more than two dozen journalists across the world to cover climate issues, in the news organization’s largest single expansion paid for through philanthropic grants.
The announcement illustrates how philanthropy has swiftly become an important new funding source for journalism — at the AP and elsewhere — at a time when the industry’s financial outlook has been otherwise bleak.
Five organizations are contributing to the effort: the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Quadrivium, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation.
Listen to him, he’s pre-med.
