The study, published Tuesday in Nature Mental Health, randomly surveyed more than 2,400 Canadians aged 13 or older and categorized them using a climate change anxiety scale developed in the U.S. It asks the extent to which people agree with statements such as “Thinking about climate change makes it difficult for me to sleep” or “I find myself crying because of climate change.”
It found that 90 per cent of respondents were concerned about climate change and 68 per cent felt some level of anxiety — something the researchers thought was a normal, healthy response, given the impacts of climate change such as wildfires and extreme heat.
But 2.35 per cent had “clinically relevant” symptoms.
The working class is the class most likely to be negatively impacted or even die from climate change.
The working class is the class that has the least ability to make any effective changes to combat climate change.
In fact, many of the “actions” we are encouraged to do are explicit greenwashing and attempts by the Parasite Class to shift the burden of responsibility off of them (where almost all culpability originate from) and onto the working class (who cannot do anything about it).
So yeah, is it really surprising that anxiety is sky-high when the consequences are so severe but the primary instigators and generators are simultaneously blaming those who can do nothing about it and taking any legitimate powers away from us?
