Cliff Mass,
Tremendous damage is being done by media, activists, and some politicians by hyping climate change (global warming).
Such climate exaggeration is damaging the mental state of millions of people and undermining our ability to deal with climate change. It leads to poor adaptation to the moderate impacts of global warming or taking realistic steps that can be highly protective.
The front page of the Seattle Times yesterday contained a story (reprinted from the NY Times) about the rapid growth in climate change anxiety and the burgeoning industry providing therapy to those in desperation and pain.
