I couldn’t stop thinking about these poor saps all morning after I read this at KisP
Global warming hits a raw nerve for some
Global warming, pesticides in food, nuclear waste – it’s enough to keep a person up at night. Indeed, a growing number of people have literally worried themselves sick over various environmental doomsday scenarios.
Their worry even has a name: eco-anxiety.
Melissa Pickett, an eco-therapist with a practice in Santa Fe, sees anywhere from 40 to 80 eco-anxious patients a month. They complain of panic attacks, loss of appetite, irritability and unexplained bouts of weakness, sleeplessness and “buzzing,” which they describe as the eerie feeling that their cells are twitching. Pickett’s remedies include telling patients to carry natural objects, like certain minerals, for a period of weeks. Making environmentally friendly lifestyle changes can also prove therapeutic, she said.
The fears of the eco-anxious are fueled by abundant media coverage of crises like global warming, collapsed fisheries and food shortages. The Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” warns that only 10 years might remain to avert a major environmental catastrophe.
I’ve called this behavior, when experienced by children who have this Global Warming Death Cult propaganda drilled into their heads, child abuse.
Who would have guessed that leftists have the minds of children?
Oh, that’s right. All of us who know better.
I would have thought it might have been called “Rachel Carson Syndrome”, oh wait, never mind….
The buzzing is doubtless too much Starbucks. 😛 Geez, get a grip.
Think they already have a name for alot of those symptoms, like the irritability, sleeplessness and buzzing, twitching “cells” – it’s called Restless Legs Syndrome – but too much Starbuck’s will probably do the trick too.
Gotta have that “label” on everything – even rotten, ill-mannered kids have to have a medical term attached to them – can’t be bad parenting!
