Make it make sense to me please.
Some of us had to live our lives persecuted by unaccountable, lying SOBs and over a million Canadians have "serious climate anxiety"? There are approximately 100,000 homeless fellow citizens in creepy Ontario alone but 1M suffer from serious climate anxiety? Try living on the streets or having the Creepy Ones involved in your every move!
Maybe they should be fighting for our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and accountability for the criminals charading as the Good Guys rather than worrying about climate change. I try to be understanding but I cannot in the face of this insult to all that is wholesome and pure.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has spoken about how at age 11, she was so depressed about climate change she stopped talking and eating and lost 10 kilograms in two months.
Here in Canada, a mother of two children in Salmon Arm, B.C., says her anxiety about the climate her kids will experience "becomes so heavy it's suffocating." A Calgary student says she started obsessing about food to cope with her anxiety about the state of our planet, and sometimes was "so overwhelmed with what food choices were best for the planet, I hardly ate at all."
But how common is this kind of anxiety in Canada? A new study estimates climate anxiety is so severe that it disrupts sleep and everyday functioning for nearly a million Canadians.
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.
