What better way to drum up business than to create a whole new class of psychological affliction?
Climate Depot reports: Weather Channel hypes report claiming ‘Climate Change Will Mean More Stress, Anxiety, PTSD in the Future’ – Growing ‘substance abuse’ due to AGW – Expect ‘broad psychological impacts’
This is based on a new report, “Beyond Storms and Droughts: The Psychological Impacts of Climate Change,” by the American Psychological Association and ecoAmerica, an environmental advocacy group devoted to climate change and sustainability issues.
That means a future with heightened levels of stress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, as well as a loss of community identity – if nothing is done to stop or slow emissions of industrial-produced greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
“The striking thing is how these effects will permeate so many aspects of our daily lives,” said Dr. Norman B. Anderson, CEO of the American Psychological Association, in a press release announcing the report.
“We can also expect increases in long-term stress and anxiety from the aftermath of disasters, as well as increases in violence and crime rates as a result of higher temperatures or competition for scarce resources.”
Due to global warming, ‘expect more’: ‘Substance abuse, Mental health emergencies, People experiencing “solastalgia“: (felt when suddenly dislocated from their home), Loss of autonomy and personal identity.’

It will lead to more anxiety because the “chicken Littles” will make it so
Completely ludicrous!
gotta get on that gravy train!
Not ludicrous. Most rebellions happen in summer time.
this is the dawning of the Age of the Climate Munchausen.
everybody wants to party with the girl who can’t say ‘no’.
Woody Allen could make three films out of this.
I think there is already more substance abuse in Boulder, Colorado – home of NCAR.
Then the modern psych profession has failed completely. But we all know this a Lew/Cook style contrived bit of fluff- poorly written fiction that uses sciencey sounding words.
Wonder if the Calamatologists can be sued.
Note to Dr. Norman B. Anderson, CEO of the American Psychological Association: the current gravy train is full; another one will be along shortly.
Loss of autonomy and personal identity.
Mainly due to government obsession with restricting personal rights and excessive use of surveillance technologies.
So if something IS done to combat emissions by closing down coal and other fossil-fuel plants, it will not cause any anxiety or stress when blackouts hit during peak energy demands?

Woody Allen could make three films out of this.
Al Gore could make 2 VERY BAD movies out of anything (or out of nothing at all)

Well, I, for one, am thankful that we can always count on an unbiased, agenda-free pronouncement from the medical community. I mean, why study the effects warmists are currently having on mental health of schoolchildren when we could pen delectable, Machiavellian screeds? Lysenkoism at its finest! 🙂
Also, as others have pointed out, I simply relish the irony of preserving my future autonomy by handing it over now. Yeah, I see that working out flawlessly.
Modeling is one thing; this partnering of Green with medical science is beyond unsettling. But, hey, it’s for the planet and 100% a-okay because, you know, science! 😉
Revolting dregs of my nightmares, these Greens are.
Or this sums it up form the the movie the thing you got to be kidding me!

[link fixed. Should that be “from the the movie ‘The Thing’ ” ? .mod]
So that explain’s Mann’s paranoia.
The parliamentary and UN treatment for different antropogenophobias seem ineffective. Not even a rounded room in a white house is helping. Something else is needed.
Which Government Department do I apply for a support benefit from? I am definitely suffering from Stress Anxiety Disorder Spuriously Activated by Climate Change (SADSACC)
Yes, it true and the effects have already started to appear in many media outlets and most federal agencies.
I suspect the afflicted will be made up primarily of alarmists responding to their own alarmism and of the gullible people who unfortunately believe them.
“The striking thing is how these effects will permeate so many aspects of our daily lives,”
I’m imagining Count Floyd here, for some reason:

That part is all too true!
if
nothing,anything is done to stop or slow emissions of industrial-produced greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.A key one-word change that provides meaning and reality to the above psychobabble.
These Am-Psy-Ass knot-heads are mixing up cause and effect.
The stress and anxiety come not from any climate change too subtle to measure. Rather the stress, anxiety, depressing, and loss of community identity come directly from a totalitarian federal government on a regulation frenzy, taxation bludgeoning, power trip.
Our only hope is that we will have a POST-traumatic stress disorder when the idiots currently running the world are costumed in the very ball and chains they designed for the rest of us. The traumatic stress we feel is indeed “man-made” but it is entirely governmental rather than environmental.
I suspect this is correct. But, it is not AGW that will cause the problem. The problem is happening now and is media/government induced psychosis involving a belief in AGW. Stress can cause it. Stress like the lost of the planet, climate, nature, etc. Delusions are common such as the sea is rising and becoming acidic, the temperature is rising, storms are more powerful. And the grandiose delusion that humans have the power to alter the climate.
“Psychosis occurs in a variety of mental and physical disorders; therefore, it likely has multiple causes. Biology, stress and drug use are three of the most common theories.”
“Psychosis may involve delusional beliefs, some of which are paranoid in nature. Put simply, delusions are false beliefs that a person holds on to, without adequate evidence. It may be difficult to change the belief even with evidence to the contrary. Common themes of delusions are persecutory (person believes that others are out to harm him/her), grandiose (person believing that he or she has special powers or skills)”
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve ofter thought I was.
So how come those living near the equator are not total loonies, beaten and bruised by
disastrous weather events, with a murder and crime rate higher than high latitude Detroit?
Cure for out criminally insane and non-criminally insane : send them to Canada, or Alaska,
or give them air conditioners.
It just don’t hardly get much dumber than this.
