‘Climate Change’ Is Causing Frayed Nerves Or Something

The attack on Jussie Smollett caused frayed nerves, too. It was also a hoax

Climate Change Isn’t Just Frying the Planet—It’s Fraying Our Nerves

Over the last year, Rebecca, a 35-year-old woman living in Washington, DC, had been losing sleep over the seemingly endless flow of apocalyptic environmental news. She fretted about the Trump administration’s loosening of emissions regulations and the United Nations’ dire predictions about climate change. In October, she sought help from a psychiatrist who put her on an antidepressant. “It sort of saps your emotional reserves,” she says, “this constant background feeling of anxiety.”

Forty percent of Americans reported hearing about climate change in the media at least once a month in 2015, and about half said they were worried about the topic that year, making it “a powerful environmental stressor,” according to a 2016 federal report. And that’s not the only way global warming causes psychological problems: A recent report from the American Psychological Association and Washington-based nonprofit ecoAmerica details some of the effects of natural disasters on mental health, including social disruption, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide. Research suggests that heat waves affect our neural regulation, weakening our ability to regulate our emotions, and that people are more aggressive and less empathetic during warm periods. As Stanford University researcher Sanjay Basu put it to me, “We kind of lose our cool.”

So, let me see if I have this correct: the Cult of Climastrology manufactures an issues, fearmongers on it non-stop, then people become so loony that they get mental and physical issues, at which point they blame the issues on ‘climate change’? Right? This is like when you drink too much then talk yourself into feeling sick to the point of throwing up.
