Climate Change May Cause 26,000 More U.S. Suicides by 2050

Now, scientists have identified one more way that climate shapes suicide—and, worryingly, they have projected that it will only become more pronounced as suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.

The finding has anxious implications for a world whose climate is rapidly changing. The authors project that roughly 14,000 people—and as many as 26,000—could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.

As always follows suit, liberal causes seem to collide. One one hand they want less people on the earth and even demand that white people kill themselves - now they are concerned about suicide.

There is just no way to please them.

A way out for depressed Democrats?

Anyone who decides to off themselves due to “climate change” should save us all the trouble and start now. Get ahead of the curve. Be a trendsetter.

[House Atreides]

Oh noe, we’re all going to commit suicide!

Just slit your wrist and jump off the bridge.

Sweeeeeet!

I’m rooting for the Climate Change to win.

[Pearls Before Swine]

26,000 more suicides?

Some people just can’t handle hot weather.

[Dutch Boy]

Yet another GW scare tactic used to get people to join their cult.

[Captain Compassion]

Mass suicide? Problem solved. I’m just sayin’

“may”

Which Climate Change? The warming or the cooling?
If you're going to off yourself over "change" you're doomed either way.

Climate Change may cause severe sewage problems as more U.S. bowel movements occur by 2200.

[goldstategop]

Is that a problem? I thought liberals welcomed voluntary human extinction,

They should be celebrating the increase in suicides, not lamenting them.

Algore followers always struck me as Heaven’s Gate type morons.

***could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.***

Reminds me of an old BARNEY MILLER plot in which they storm a man’s house and he threatens to kill himself! When they go for him he swallows a test tube of a liquid and says..

“NOW I WILL DIE OF CANCER IN ABOUT THIRTY YEARS!”

[GOPJ]

Anyone have that list of all the crap alarmists have said would happen IN THE FUTURE if we don’t bow to their nutty beliefs?

Bad breath and zits were on the list... now suicide? Nutty vile people...

Libs jump off a bridge.
