Now, scientists have identified one more way that climate shapes suicideand, worryingly, they have projected that it will only become more pronounced as suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.
The finding has anxious implications for a world whose climate is rapidly changing. The authors project that roughly 14,000 peopleand as many as 26,000could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.

Note: According to esteemed scientist when Florida comes to New England, blue bloods kill themselves. (and others?)
“Climate Change May Cause 26,000 More U.S. Suicides by 2050”
Excellent! I’ll volunteer to help organize a Jim Jones type event featuring democrats distraught over “global warming”.
Won’t suicide help Global Warming and shouldn’t Hollywierd take the first step?
Fact is 0bamacare will kill far more than that in one year due to end of life care - a euphemism for murder.
And then theres abortion...
Leaving aside the hand waving melodrama of the headline, two comments come out. One, leftists like fewer people, so they should be glad. Two, 25,000 people over a 32 year period is not even 1000 per year among a very large population .
Sometimes I catch a story like this and end up looking at other links on their site. Much of their stuff could just as easily have come from "The ONION".
“Could. Ah. Well, if yer THAT sure about it, scientists.....”
Political science and social science majors.
Likely by depressed Democrats whose hopes of apocalypse werent met...
Well that was a strange cut and past...
Fore demonKKKRATs, higher taxes cure everything.
Poor research and writing. The numbers need to be embellished significantly.
Even at 26k, the number over 32 years would be roughly 812 per year or 68 per month. Those numbers are mathematically insignificant. Based on the total population, the monthly would be 0.000000193452381.
The ‘researcher’ should have used 260k or even 2.6m for the numbers to be ‘frightening enough’.
Geezzzzz!
Many times more than that exit this world with their ‘here, hold my beer’ antics.
Not surprised.
They’ve always been big lefties but I have notice a turn toward WHACK since she bought it.
“suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.”
What rapidly warming world is this? I must have missed that world because for the past 56 years here in New York the temps have remained absolutely the same each season. 90s in the summer, low 20s in the winter although this past week it went down to the 20s even though we’re still in autumn. And by the way, I live right by the water, Long Island sound. We have a pier here that’s been around since the 1800s. It’s still above water. How is that possible if the ice caps are melting? Rapidly warming world my ass. And California getting off blaming those fires on global warming when they got homeless all over the place starting campfires. Yeah, I guess global warming created the homeless and the illegals
Anyone who wants to off themselves over fear of climate change is welcome to do so as far as Im concerned. Less PITA for the rest of us.
Mostly among climate change inventors who lose their funding after reality defeats their scam.
Libs just want the “right” people to go away.
Wonder if freezing to death is counted as suicide?
It's a big ol' ocean!
Sorry...couldn't resist.
