PARIS, Nov. 11, 2021 (EIRNS) – In a paper published by the British Medical Journal, two researchers of the “Ethnicity and Health Unit,” of the Department of Primary Care and Public Health at London’s Imperial College, warn that the “levels of eco-anxiety are growing, particularly among children and young people, and are likely to be significant and potentially damaging to individuals and society.”

After a review of the IPCC’s apocalyptic gospel, the scientists comment, “Evidence points to a clear relation between experiencing climate change effects and the increased risks of depression, low mood, extreme mental distress, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide, and further deterioration in those with a history of mental illness.”
A 2020 survey of child psychiatrists in England highlighted “that more than half (57%) are seeing children and young people distressed about the climate crisis and the state of the environment.” These results were confirmed recently by the “largest and most international” survey of climate anxiety in young people aged 16 to 25 to date. The study explored how young people’s emotions are linked with “their feelings of betrayal and abandonment by governments and adults. Governments are seen as failing to respond adequately, leaving young people with ‘no future’ and ‘humanity doomed.’”
