'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 2015—the warmest year on record at the time—it 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. “It’s hard to enjoy a season that’s 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 hadn’t sought help with her mental health. Suddenly, she was contemplating self-harm. “Though I don’t think I would have hurt myself, I didn’t 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 couldn’t 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.

Thank you so much for your post. I needed to send this verse to my daughter.

[[Her case is extreme, but many people are suffering from what could be called “climate despair,”]]

Good golly- What next? “Meteorite Dispair’? People so crippled by the fear of getting hit by a falling rock that they can’t go outside?

So we’re all supposed to give up in despair over climate change because some low info people who have mental issues give up on life for no reason whatsoever?

Miss- Maam, or whatever ya like to be called- CHILLAX! Humankind has at the very least 1007 years left on earth- guaranteed- When you see the tribulation start- you will know there is 1007 years left for mankind-

Get help for your mental illness- please- you sound kinda foolish- If I were you- I would be more worried about whether you are saved or not-

If fear is in our hearts, beware of who or what put it there
They generally do not love you

No. Then they'll choose the "even more responsible" option of taking out a couple of dozen other people at the same time.

I swear this motivates professional abortionists: "I don't have the courage to actually shoot myself, so I'm going the other route of crushing a couple thousand disgusting larval humans."

No No No. That makes too much sense.

The real solution is to wallow in bad feelings:

From the article: "We need to have a whole lot of no-holds-barred conversations about how we feel about climate change, where no emotion is wrong.

FEELZ B4 REELZ!

Such weak nitwits should kill themselves. Save the rest of having to put up with their inadequacy. Something is wrong in their DNA. The problem is that people like this are too incompetent and weak to kill themselves.

So she didn't care about Mother Gia before having her son?

There might be a market here for a reprinting of “Final Exit.”
