Britons' anxiety about climate change plays a big role in many mental health struggles among the country's youth and can trigger guilt about having children, a new report has claimed.
The report by the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also suggests that yoga and visiting "climate cafés" could help stave off this "eco-anxiety" and build emotional resilience in times of change.
"An awareness of climate and environmental change can also lead to emotional or psychological responses, such as eco-anxiety," it reads, defining the term as distress caused by the threat of climate change.
The authors also reference "solastalgia," which is the sorrow people feel when their familiar environments are degraded by environmental change.
According to the UKHSA, reactions like this are not irrational but are natural responses to a destabilized world.
The data shown in the report, the Climate change and mental health: thematic assessment, also indicates that many young Britons are struggling with the psychological weight of environmental collapse.
"There is evidence that eco-anxiety is influencing reproductive choices for some individuals, as 39% of UK survey respondents described that climate change made them feel hesitant to have children due to concerns over the children’s future quality of life," the report states.
"Participating in group and community-based activities, including yoga, citizen science, and climate cafés, was associated with reduced psychological distress," the report notes.
The report has not escaped criticism, with Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, accusing the UK government of institutionalizing climate hysteria.

OOOoooooommm!
What the hell happened to “pickle ball”. That one didn’t last long.
Incessant input from media, schools, and politicians has driven a fair portion of young people mad. Now they want to sell them a cure. Nice.
…Because their government won’t address the real stressors giving the natives anxiety.
Their society is getting smashed to pieces, daughters getting gang raped, but officials want yoga in “climate cafes.” Whatever TF those are.
Pathetic simp Euros don’t deserve the society their forefathers bequeathed them.
We need to distance ourselves from Euros.
Incessant GLOBALIST PROPAGANDA from media, schools, and politicians
has driven a fair portion of young people mad
Yep
No wonder the muslims are taking over.
He was so right.
“There is evidence that eco-anxiety is influencing reproductive choices for some individuals, as 39% of UK survey respondents described that climate change made them feel hesitant to have children due to concerns over the children’s future quality of life,”
................................
So the climate religion drives abortion. Meanwhile Muslims reproduce prolifically.
Guess which gender believes this nonsense?
Or we could make it a firing offense for teachers to tell those scary lies to children.
Sad that some take it all so seriously that they won’t get married because the children would face a world of climate destruction and the end of the world.
🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
stop believing the lies helps
Are those things peanuts, or what?
If it’s all going to go belly-up soon as the UK government and others are claiming, isn’t anxiety a rational response? And how will yoga and climate cafes help when things go belly-up? Will they take a bit of the edge off of the catastrophe?
Yes. Whoever thought “revising” all the publicly available emojis was really wrong.
Those are nuts. Old emojis looked like them.
