All is lost!
December 6, 2017 by admin
From depression to substance abuse to suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder, growing bodies of research in the relatively new field of psychology of global warming suggest that climate change will take a pretty heavy toll on the human psyche as storms become more destructive and droughts more prolonged.
For your everyday environmentalist, the emotional stress suffered by a rapidly changing Earth can result in some pretty substantial anxieties.
Two years ago, Camille Parmesan, a professor at Plymouth University and the University of Texas at Austin, became so “professionally depressed†that she questioned abandoning her research in climate change entirely.
“I don’t know of a single scientist that’s not having an emotional reaction to what is being lost,†Parmesan is quoted saying in the National Wildlife Federation’s 2012 report.
