Trauma from environmental and climate disasters can cause long-term changes in cognitive functioning, according to research published Wednesday in the journal PLOS Climate.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego and California State University used existing data from survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California history. In the 2023 study, researchers found that among a subset of people directly exposed to the fire, electroencephalography (EEG) scans showed noticeable differences in brain activity and cognitive function.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego and California State University used existing data from survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California history. In the 2023 study, researchers found that among a subset of people directly exposed to the fire, electroencephalography (EEG) scans showed noticeable differences in brain activity and cognitive function.

Much of the existing body of research on climate change-fueled disasters and their effects focuses on more subjective, self-reported impacts like mood or stress disorders, co-author Jyoti Mishra, an associate psychiatry professor at UCSD, told The Hill.

“We actually wanted to see if there are any objective cognitive and brain function changes that are seen in individuals who are exposed to the fires,” she said. “And we find that indeed, there are specific cognitive differences relative to a control population that was never exposed to the fires.”

Well that certainly explains a lot of crazy stuff going on...either that or it’s mind control rays from the Area 51 greys. Or maybe too many late night bong hits...one just never knows...:)

The real trauma to these twerps was Youth Soccer — destroyed generations of America’s youth.

Maybe they have causation reversed. Maybe only stupid people are stressed by believing Gorebull Worming.

Is this kind of like that nonsense of nuclear war fear all these hippies were scaring kids in the ‘70s and ‘80s with?

So do lies about “climate change.” Look at how hopelessly mental Greta is. Or Al Gore.

Non-sequitur.

People suffering adverse affects from a specific environmental disaster (fire) have nothing to do with the population of the Earth and its climate.

Good way to make money. I need to do some sort of micro study and then end with “thus we can see the same will happen to the world.” Riches follow.

Any kind of traumatic stress can cause a change in brain function!

It is called PTSD.

Fortunately, they have the solutions: Mandatory “vaccines” (ad infinitum), travel restrictions, and masking (will stop the ‘Rona, doncha know...), and, to ‘save the planet’, just get rid of your gas stove. Oh, and go out and buy a $65,000 electric car. And eat bugs. We are so very blessed that we have their guidance through the troubled times they created and then foisted on us...
