The apocalyptic rhetoric surrounding the climate “crisis” has numerous victims.  Children and young adults rank among the victims of greatest concern.


Numerous academic studies have highlighted the psychological health effects of climate change on children and young adults, including elevated levels of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, increased incidences of suicide, substance abuse, social disruptions including increased violence, and a distressing sense of loss.

The psychological injuries to children associated with climate change are featured prominently by Our Children’s Trust which is “representing and supporting youth securing their legal rights to a safe climate.”  This group sponsored the lawsuit Juliana vs. the United States, plus lawsuits in virtually all of the U.S. states and globally including Netherlands and Colombia.  A key rationale for these Complaints/lawsuits is the psychological harm being inflicted on the Youth Plaintiffs. Here is one example from the Juliana complaint:

Well, doggone it, they don't play 'Duck and Cover' in grade school any more, so there has to be some perpetual pall of terror that the Gubmint, in all its benevolent wisdom, will 'save' them from.

Funny how such existential threats can be used to manipulate an entire population.

Interesting POV, but the more imminent threat are those who are facing  misery or worse death by not being able to afford climate change mandated utility bills.

That is the ugly secret the envirowhackos prefer keeping under the radar.
