I don’t doubt they are genuinely “anxious”. If you believe all the alarmist BS going around and don’t have the brains to check what you are being fed every waking moment, you’d have to be. Climate anxiety is a real problem.
Maybe someone should start suing the likes of Mickey Mann for faking graphs inverting data and freaking folks out.
Nope. I only feel anxious every month that I will get trapped in PG+E’s third tier of rate rape. I feel anxious the CA PUC will increase my PG&E rates to pay for unaffordable “renewable” energy sources. Or increase my water rates and tiered punishment rates.
P.S. I have more important things to do than listen to these obsessive-compulsives rattle on about how AFRAID they are of everything living thing. They are boring, boring, boring, and boring.
They need their own planet, some place that is just like them, boring, boring, boring.
Don’t have children. You, personally, are safe. Stay indoors. lock your doors and windows. Order food in. Pay your utility bills especially cable TV/wi fi bill. stock up on ZZZquill.
Most of all keep your concerns to yourself. Nobody else cares what you think. You are audio ZZZquill to the rest of us.
The world will still be here with plenty of room for your burial plot when the time comes.

The BBC really are ramping up the climate change nonsense right now. You can’t turn on the TV, radio or read their website without another dose of indoctrination. And joy of joys, Sir David Attenborough (that’s Saint David to you and I) will be fronting up a new documentary about the end of the world as we know it.
And having watched an episode of blue planet ref. Great Barrier Reef intimating the bleaching and destruction of some of it are man made, they are proved wrong in spades by Dr Peter Ridd et al.
The BBC are wicked and must be brought under control, heavens knows how!
Hmm, I certainly do remember the crown of thorns. What happened to them?
The media screams up imaginary threats but they never tell you they were wrong. They never said they were wrong about global cooling. CAGW, too, will fade away, and be replaced by some other panic, demanding immediate large-scale destruction to save the world.
Attenborough has a wonderful voice for narration of these fabulously photographed documentaries, but I wonder how much he really knows or understands. Someone with his age and experience ought to be more skeptical of wild claims. Or maybe he just sold out?
Gary, his book Life on Air demonstrates his long affair with editing and producing. Its been a while since I read the book, but there were a couple of passages where he wrote along the lines of that he felt it was important people saw a particular viewpoint (his). It was at that point I realised that David, just like anyone else, can be led by their emotions and biases as much as the next person – though his voice and opinions are shared worldwide as a kind of benevolent propaganda. He has a great voice and its everyone’s surrogate kind uncle or granddad, but at the end of the day, he is human like and makes mistakes. I believe he writes the scripts when he is producer, so its not like new knowledge is canvassed in the BBC productions. Its a shame when your childhood heroes become fallible.
I grew up on David Attenborough’s documentaries and have alway loved his films; I think it’s a bit sad that he has allowed himself to become used as a mouthpiece for the climate-change movement; I suspect he just realises that to contradict the prevailing narrative would be a sure-fire way to have the funding for these (no-doubt expensive to make) productions cut off. Like I say, very sad.
The BBC really are ramping up the climate change nonsense right now.
Well at least that makes people think about fictitious problems in a few hundred years time, rather than looking a the mess the govt. is making of leaving EU without really leaving but being trapped in a system of which we have no control and no more provision to get out of it.
May’s “deal” is like signing a new Lisbon Treaty without an article 50.
The main function of the climate scam is to throw sand in everyone’s eyes.

So if you’re not feeling anxious about Climate Change you should be and it’s OK. This is your chance to feel anxious about nothing and apply for that helping animal you always wanted but couldn’t justify like someone who has a real problem. And your anxiety can be shared with the world!
I think this person could use a comfort cockroach. Or maybe some comfort permafrost.
Oh hello to the chill of terror creeping up my spine. I greet you with seething frustration over the media’s #ClimateSilence. The unraveling of the Arctic should be the top story everywhere. Again and again until we DO something. We👏🏽 Are👏🏽 In👏🏽 Danger👏🏽
No. I am not the least concerned with climate change. I am however concerned about the snowflakes who will do something en masse to change the world and make it a politically unstable and economic mess.
The correlation coefficient between climate anxiety and TDS is probably > 0.99 and p-value that would make a particle physicist envious.
And when your brain has been turned to mush from a Liberal indoctrination, finding a doctor to keep you in a XANAX Rx then he/she becomes your best-friend and junkie.
And in Colorado, California, Washington, regular visits to your local cannabis store is like most normal people who go to a local grocery store for fresh produce, milk and bread.
And the prescribed drugs forced on kids, Respiridone, Prozak, Ritalin, all medical, prepares something far worse. I think the Greta phenomenon was only a start.
Menticide is always an imperial tactic – China remembers the 2 Opium wars with Britain. Trump is right to declare a border emergency, and must go after all that legal dope as well.
Russia has been warning for decades of the Afghan Opium border, supported by NATO (Helmand Province).
The EU being a major Afghan Opium market with a special budget to fight it, and support it. Some cops cottoned on and were muzzled.
I wonder if most of the people that act like psychotics about the supposed end of the world due to global warming are on psychotropic drugs. Something’s not right in their heads.
Drugged Liberal America.
Because of medical privacy laws and availability of many generic anxiety meds (like Xanax and valium), no one really knows what the true numbers are, but it must be very high. All those Hollywood and TV/cable media talking heads on MSNBC and CNN have therapists/shrinks writing their Rx’s.
Either that or the constant fear mongering, and general negativity towards everything functional in society, plus state re-education of children via gender mainstreaming, plus hypermorality, loss of freedom and personal identity, makes the people insane. Then they go to a doctor who prescribes them psychotropic drugs, which further messes with their head, their attitude, their motivation and overall feeling. I wonder if there’s a way to sue for compensation for being made insane. I mean, part of the cure is to get out of the media matrix, maybe read a good, inspiring book.
For half a millennium things have repeatedly gotten better.
Longer life. Healthier life. More freedom. Better.
But now – right now – reality is doing a U-Turn.
Really? !
Stay Tuned.
We can reach the stars if we don’t waste our time on folly.

I am not fearing actual climate change anxiety, but I am very concerned about all the hysterics being perpetrated by some Govt’s, academia, NGO’s and media about the climate crisis we are in. I look out many windows when I travel the world, and all I see is weather. With every flood and wind storm now being blamed on Climate Change due to CO2 emissions, then it is like the boy calling wolf over and over. Ironically, almost everyone I meet everywhere I go comments that the more shrill all this advertising of some looming climate disaster becomes, the more they just turn it off and realize it is all a never ending hoax.
It seems the only ones left peddling this message are the folks who are trying make a buck off of it, or wanting to use it as an excuse to seize some sort of perpetual taxation by making us pay for our energy consumption over and above the actual cost of the energy. Like it is a privilege to heat your home or have a refrigerator. These Marxists will do the same for Oxygen someday…if you can’t pay your O2 bill, you will get cut off from your air supply.

Of course he didn’t go so far as to call skeptics “Romulans”, and Richard Basehart, David Hedison, Billy Mummy, Angela Cartwright or even David McCallum didn’t jump on the pop science bandwagon then to promote socialism.

Those who know or suspect that there are scientific problems with the CAGW narrative but feel morally and ethically justified playing on people’s fears, guilt complexes and anxieties anyway deserve the contempt and rejection of society when this whole alarmist narrative gets blown open someday. It is sadly common practice for the mainstream media to use fear and fear-mongering headlines to attract readers to their websites, to sell papers and news magazines, and to boost TV ratings.
With age, I have come to understand this a long time ago and do not allow myself to succumb to it. Unfortunately, it is younger people and the scientifically illiterate who are gullible and naive enough to buy into this whole thing and, hence, we see them marching in the streets in response to the CAGW narrative.
The arrogance and over-inflated egos of those who feel they have the right to use deceit and bad science (if they know it is bad) to play on our emotions in pursuit of their ends have a long history of having their campaigns end badly, but yet it it keeps happening anyway. Lost wars are not the least of those bad ends.
It is all not dissimilar to being sucked into a religious cult, and it has always fascinated me to observe why and how it happens. Jonestown, the Branch Davidians, Heaven’s Gate…the leaders of those cults all played on people’s emotions and needs to suck believers in.
Waking up every day with the anxiety of the climate scare hanging over your head is a horrible way to live your life. Those who are responsible for inflicting this emotional suffering (including the MSM) need to be made to answer for it someday. Sadly, I don’t know that they ever will.

Heres a section of the psycho-babble its based on, Lew must have a paw in it somewhere.
The International Psychoanalytical Association recognizes climate change as “the biggest global health threat of the 21st century,” followed close behind by nuclear war. Everything you wanted to know about global warming but were afraid to ask is here.
Mental health clinician Susan Kassouf argues that “most humanitarian disasters and their attendant human trauma today stem in no small part from climate change” and cites Syria’s “record droughts” and “decimated wheat harvests” as important factors leading to that country’s Civil War and refugee crisis. Kassouf describes our dependence on fossil fuels as “an ego-syntonic addiction,” meaning our oil consumption is in harmony with our sense of nationhood or self-image as a nation. Despite blatant signs of environmental destruction such as the Bayou Corne Sinkhole, “we stab desperately,” she says, “looking for one still usable vein.”
We emotionally disassociate from the suffering we inflict on the environment, meaning we separate psychic cluster of feelings related to global warming and create an amnesia barrier in order to alleviate mental distress. To disassociate is to split consciousness.
In her ambitious collection of interviews America on the Couch, depth journalist Pythia Peay elaborates how, despite all the American emphasis on hearth and home, we have lost an emotional connection to our planetary home. In a section devoted to “America’s Vanishing Environment,” Bonnie Bright, founder of Depth Psychology Alliance and part of the community concerned about climate change, considers how our dissociation arises from a blind faith in the power of the free market which puts “the whole planet in a Holocaust oven.” Our psychological awareness has failed to keep up with industrial development.

I think its telling that they use the words ‘anxiety’ and ‘suffering’
Certainly ‘anxious’ is the wrong word – doesn’t it refer to a short term threat. You get anxious visiting the dentist or a job interview. How can you be ‘anxious’ about something, which by their very own definition, runs over 30 year averages.
So, are you ‘suffering’?
Of course you are.
Everybody is constantly suffering and equally constantly wanting to tell someone about it (loneliness) and hopefully someone will, buy you a drink, give you food, marry you, un-marry you, give you a mansion house, a fleet of Bentleys and a stable full of thoroughbreds.
Lawyers are useful for alleviating suffering.
Everything Is Never Enough – as the song goes (Goldfrapp)
And if you answer ‘no’ to the suffering question, then you must be stupid, ignorant and In DeNile and must therefore be made to suffer because you are making everybody else suffer.
See what they’re up to now?
THAT is something to be worried about, not least because of over-reaction to the imagined threat (the feeding of Drax with wood pellets by example) and, not least, because it is such a fantastic money maker for those who are already part of the elite.
BBC not least
Worried also because The Science is soooooo spectacularly wrong. and most remedies I see are making the observed changes worse.
But as someone said words to the effect of, If you’re gonna tell a l1e, tell a really REALLY big one.
Do you mean climate?
30 years is the time duration for a defined term called “Normal” or “Climate Normals.”
You can look it up.
Most “climates” have existed for thousands of years.
The Köppen climate classification was developed based on the empirical relationship between climate and vegetation. This type of climate classification scheme provides an efficient way to describe climatic conditions defined by multiple variables and their seasonalities with a single metric.
[ http://hanschen.org/koppen/ ]
We live in a mid-latitude cold winter – dry summer type climate.
Ponderosa Pines have grown on the nearby slopes for hundreds of years. These pines are adapted to this summer-dry (fire prone) region .
It is best to think of an empirical relationship between climate and vegetation, and not use the notion of Climate Normals (30 year averages). Those averages were established (1935?) for weather reporting, not climate investigations.
No..
How about climate change policy anxiety?
Note she invites an artist, a writer and an “environmental cultures researcher” ( whatever one of those is ).
No-one with the slightest scientific training or understanding, but who just spout the usual fallacies spread by the media.
I don’t doubt they are genuinely “anxious”. If you believe all the alarmist BS going around and don’t have the brains to check what you are being fed every waking moment, you’d have to be. Climate anxiety is a real problem.
Maybe someone should start suing the likes of Mickey Mann for faking graphs inverting data and freaking folks out.
The best part is the last line from the writer guy:
” I feel most optimistic when I remember how bad humans are at predicting the future. ”
Well done Samuel, you got it in one. Now maybe you need to look into how well those climate models you are so scared of are doing.
Indeed, Chicken Little had immense anxiety.
“How about climate change policy anxiety?”
Yeah I got that one too! 🙂
Nope. I only feel anxious every month that I will get trapped in PG+E’s third tier of rate rape. I feel anxious the CA PUC will increase my PG&E rates to pay for unaffordable “renewable” energy sources. Or increase my water rates and tiered punishment rates.
No, not at all. Somone please tell this bint she’s a crashing bore???
P.S. I have more important things to do than listen to these obsessive-compulsives rattle on about how AFRAID they are of everything living thing. They are boring, boring, boring, and boring.
They need their own planet, some place that is just like them, boring, boring, boring.

I think its telling that they use the words ‘anxiety’ and ‘suffering’
Certainly ‘anxious’ is the wrong word – doesn’t it refer to a short term threat. You get anxious visiting the dentist or a job interview. How can you be ‘anxious’ about something, which by their very own definition, runs over 30 year averages.
So, are you ‘suffering’?
Of course you are.
Everybody is constantly suffering and equally constantly wanting to tell someone about it (loneliness) and hopefully someone will, buy you a drink, give you food, marry you, un-marry you, give you a mansion house, a fleet of Bentleys and a stable full of thoroughbreds.
Lawyers are useful for alleviating suffering.
Everything Is Never Enough – as the song goes (Goldfrapp)
And if you answer ‘no’ to the suffering question, then you must be stupid, ignorant and In DeNile and must therefore be made to suffer because you are making everybody else suffer.
See what they’re up to now?
THAT is something to be worried about, not least because of over-reaction to the imagined threat (the feeding of Drax with wood pellets by example) and, not least, because it is such a fantastic money maker for those who are already part of the elite.
BBC not least
Worried also because The Science is soooooo spectacularly wrong. and most remedies I see are making the observed changes worse.
But as someone said words to the effect of, If you’re gonna tell a l1e, tell a really REALLY big one.

Soil erosion innit, erosion of civilisation.

Peta of N.:
“ . . . runs over 30 year averages. ”
Do you mean climate?
30 years is the time duration for a defined term called “Normal” or “Climate Normals.”
You can look it up.
Most “climates” have existed for thousands of years.
The Köppen climate classification was developed based on the empirical relationship between climate and vegetation. This type of climate classification scheme provides an efficient way to describe climatic conditions defined by multiple variables and their seasonalities with a single metric.

We live in a mid-latitude cold winter – dry summer type climate.
Ponderosa Pines have grown on the nearby slopes for hundreds of years. These pines are adapted to this summer-dry (fire prone) region .
It is best to think of an empirical relationship between climate and vegetation, and not use the notion of Climate Normals (30 year averages). Those averages were established (1935?) for weather reporting, not climate investigations.
