'Climate despair' is making people give up on life 'It's super painful to be a human being right now at this point in history'
In the summer of 2015the warmest year on record at the timeit was the literal heat that got to Meg Ruttan Walker, a 37-year-old former teacher in Kitchener, Ontario. Summers have been stressful to me since having my son, said Ruttan Walker, who is now an environmental activist. Its hard to enjoy a season thats a constant reminder that the world is getting warmer.
I think my anxiety just reached a peak, Ruttan Walker continued. It felt like there was nowhere to go, and although she had spoken to her primary care doctor about anxiety, she hadnt sought help with her mental health. Suddenly, she was contemplating self-harm. Though I dont think I would have hurt myself, I didnt know how to live with the fear of the apocalypse, I guess? My son was home with me and I had to call my friend over to watch him because I couldnt even look at him without breaking down, Ruttan Walker said. She eventually checked herself into an overnight mental health facility.
Her case is extreme, but many people are suffering from what could be called climate despair, a sense that climate change is an unstoppable force that will render humanity extinct and renders life in the meantime futile.

Wait, what? Climate change may be killing off liberals? GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!
Save the planet!
Turn yourself into biodegradable compost!
Geez, I seem to recall reading some historical accounts of folks in some low lying country in yewrope adapting and building levees and dykes and canals so they could live on the land. Where the heck was that? Oh, yeah. Holland. Where my Dutch kin folk came from to the Americas in the early 1600’s. Guess we’re two stoopid to figure that out today. Then again, if they had had to deal with the EPA and all the EIS requirements, they’d be under water now.
They’re turning climate change, which is natural and has occurred for eternity that man has had nothing to do with, into a mental disorder.
These people need mental help, and not because they are thinking of offing themselves...it is because they are stupid enough to buy this crap hook, line, and sinker.
“She eventually checked herself into an overnight mental health facility.”
Wonder when the Mr. hung himself? This is one dangerous whackjob.
The heat wave in AK is gone now. It is 60 in Anchorage.
Plastic bags over the head prevent personal CO2 emissions, pass it on......
There are vacancies above the artic circle.
Well, climate change is an unstoppable force. Thats the point. There is nothing we can do about it except adapt, which humans have been able to do. We made it through ice ages and warm spells (farms in Greenland). Oceans rise, we move inland. Ice advances, we head south. Were fairly clever at that sort of thing.

Excellent post.
“The Ontario winter which will arrive in a few short months will wipe away her mental anguish of the summer heat.”
That’s why a whole bunch of Canadians have winter homes in FL, AZ etc.
This is a media induced psychosis via the media’s acting as slave to the climate alarmists agenda, instead of reporting honestly that (a) there is no “climate consensus” and (b) so-called “deniers” are not deniers, but scientists with alternative scientific views and folks who have seen and understand those alternative scientific views as scientifically as honest as any others.
The key difference between the so-called “deniers” and others is that the so-called deniers are not on some alternative political agenda, while the climate alarmists are and always have been on an alternative political agenda - global economic controls over everyone. In fact it is the later to which the former is but a means for achieving it.
How does the father feel?
The power of propaganda is not to be underestimated.
Reminds me of all the North Koreans who actually wept out of sorrow when their Dear Leader, who tortured and starved them to death finally croaked
People like this woman used to be called "Red Diaper Babies", because they appear to be raised by communists. What will their children be called?
LOL at these idiots.
Well, we do have only 11 and half years till the “end of the world”, AOC and now others are claiming. Hope I’m still around when we pass that time frame and these idiots extend it out of desperation.
Can I suggest to her...suicide?
Making people give up on life is the whole point.
