The Emotional Toll Of Climate Anxiety Is Hurting Our Kids
Climate anxiety is used to describe a collection of psychological symptoms triggered by incessant propaganda about rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.
Also known as “eco-anxiety,” “eco-guilt,” and “eco-grief,” climate anxiety can be paralyzing and debilitating, especially among people aged 16 to 34. This malady has been labeled one of the top threats to global health in the 21st century. [emphasis, links added]
A 2021 survey of 10,000 youngsters, aged 16 to 25 from 10 different countries, found 84% of the respondents were “moderately worried” about climate change.
Over 50% reported feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, powerlessness, helplessness, and guilt.
