Psychoterratic Illness & other such GW buzzwords
WorldChanging Team ^ | March 21, 2008 10:20 AM | Sanjay Khanna

You can't make this stuff up folks- The latest victim of the supposed 'man-caused global warming' nut-o-rama are our psychological minds. That's right, it seems that some feller named Glenn Albrecht believes that we're all going to suffer from Psychoterratic illness. What is Psychoterratic illness you wonder? Why it's a malady whereby the mind goes psychotic when the terra firma is violated by we evil human beings.

But wait- there's more. It seems that we're all about to suffer yet another crippling malady- Solastalgia. Again you ask, what ever can Solastalgia be? I'm surprised at you all. Shame on you! You should have seen this coming like a two ton Psychoterratic bulldozer ramming it's way through a densely packed china shop. For you see, Solastagia is a vicious affliction that confounds and dazzles the poor dolts who can't cope with changes to their surrounding environments. Those who suffer this terrible disorder, experience shortness of breath, dizzy feelings, weakness of knees, and an overall sweating condition that stings the eyes and dulls the senses.

Some folks suffering from either Solastalgia or Psychoterratica have even been known to pass out from lack of oxygen when they see their precious earth being ripped apart by evil excavators to make room for non essentials such as living quarters for the elderly, goodwill centers to help the displaced and homeless, hospitals for the sick and dying etc etc etc.

So please, won't you do more to help prevent these two newly founded 'man-caused global warming' induced chronic disorders by going to the link mentioned and finding out all you can about these insidious cancers ripping through our nations and afflicting literally tens (or less, probably only like two or three people) of persons all over the world? Worldchange is counting on your support today!

Excerpt: "By Sanjay Khanna

A small yet growing body of evidence suggests that how people think and feel is being influenced strongly by ecosystem transformation related to climate change and industry-related displacement from the land. These powerful stressors are occurring more frequently around the world....

Solastalgia describes a palpable sense of dislocation and loss that people feel when they perceive changes to their local environment as harmful. It’s a neologism that Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher at the University of Newcastle’s School of Environmental and Life Sciences, created in 2003."

I joked in my write-up to the story, but these people are as serious as heartattacks about htis nonsense. They think it’s a real malady caused by climate changes. These people really are sick in the head.

And you watch- in a couple of years- maybe sooner, these will be deemed real enough ‘dissabilities’ and the government will hand out billions to people ‘suffering’ from these self-perceived illnesses.

Could this be the real reason I was going 71 in a 55 zone, solas..tal..gia? Yes, I think it was. I remember I was so distraught over my environment changing so fast. No your Honor, not just because I was speeding. I was watching a poor duck not knowing whether to fly north for the summer or south for...no I was watching the road too. No, I don’t drive a hybrid, but I try to conserve gas. Yes, I know you get better gas mileage at lower speeds, but...

Oh— my— Gawd...what a timely post.

I have all of that, I mean... the shortness of breath, dizzy feelings, weakness of knees, and an overall sweating condition that stings the eyes and dulls the senses. Heck, I just figured it was because I had gone back to burying dem bodies under my house again...it never occurred to me that I might be sick. Thanks!!

When I was a child I feared the Russians would bomb us. Now the kids fear the world burning up.

Sounds suspiciously like "the vapors" to me, and just as serious. ;o)
