Britt Wray’s fears about a warming planet came to a head in 2017 when she and her partner first talked about having a baby.

Wray worked as a science communicator at the time and was bombarded with scientific reports on climate change “day in and day out,” as well as reading several bombshell articles on the subject that came out that year.

“It was really this question of do I sit with the uncertainty of how bad this all might get and how nations will respond and powerholders will potentially act responsibly at some point,” said Wray, who now works as an instructor on climate and mental health at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

“Do I feel okay bringing a child into this situation? With disasters piling up and so on so forth … that really unleashed my own climate distress volcano.”

These people need a rubber room ASAP. Media does its job well creating panic.

Same with covid. See a pattern?

[Maskot]

This is a classic example of “shovel ready jobs”…pre written and instant tweeks can be made to fit any woke grievance or weather pattern at a moment’s notice.

For the sake of the child, it’s probably better for the potential mother to not reproduce, unless it can be assured that the kid would be adopted by a sane male/female couple.

"...my own climate distress volcano"

Is that used to dispense soothing aromas, like a plug-in Glade thing, or is this more like a Benhani Choo-Choo Onion?

‘“Do I feel okay bringing a child into this situation? With disasters piling up and so on so forth … that really unleashed my own climate distress volcano.”

Wray, who ended up writing a book on climate anxiety, is not alone in her feelings.’

I believe we ought to encourage all the Greeniacs to discontinue having children to ease their climate distress and help “save the PLanet”.

[Carriage Hill]

More like “Soothing, Gentle BS Breeze”.

“Climate Anxiety”...

Just wait until “climate psychosis” really kicks into gear. It already has taken hold of some.
