It couldn’t possibly be due to the kiddies being treated to a constant litany of Doom and gloom, could it? That the climate cult’s fearmongering is messing up the youts, right?
Climate change is hurting kids’ mental health, report finds
Surviving a hurricane or wildfire can be traumatic. And people who are displaced from their homes may suffer anxiety, PTSD, or depression.
Yes, the weather, which humans have always dealt with
Children are especially vulnerable because they may not have coping skills yet. And they depend on adults, who may be struggling themselves.
They depend on hysterical, doomsday cult member adults. Not a good combination
Christie Manning of Macalester College is co-author of a recent report on climate change and children’s mental health that was released by the American Psychological Association and nonprofit ecoAmerica.
She says even young people who have not directly experienced a disaster may feel anxiety about the climate crisis. They worry about the future and that adults are not taking more action.
So to support kids, the report suggests screening them for distress and improving access to mental health services for young people and families.
Probably the best thing would be to send them to mental health professionals who will deprogram the kiddies and explain that yes, bad weather events do stink, but, they are just weather, and you will be OK. And that the majority of wildfires are caused due to accidents and arson, not a slight increase in the global temperature since 1850. Get the kids away from the adult cult members.
