We’re All Gonna Die! Pt. 39

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

Global warming is going to turn us all crazy! That is, crazier than the warmists already are:

A report from Australia’s Climate Institute which links global warming with mental illness is already drawing eyerolls from a central academic in the global climate-change debate.

In its report, the anti-carbon emissions organization argues that a spike in severe weather events in Australia coincides with increased rates of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and substance abuse.

“Climate change will have many adverse impacts on Australians’ health — physical risks, infectious diseases, heat-related ill effects, food safety and nutritional risks, mental health problems and premature deaths,” the Climate Institute declared. “The emerging burden of climate-related impacts on community morale and mental health—bereavement, depression, post-event stress disorders, and the tragedy of self-harm — is large, especially in vulnerable rural areas.”

So they think there will be more work for mental health professionals in Australia due to global warming. In the US, the administration would just call that “stimulus.”
