WSJ Columnist Calls Climate Change Obsession a ‘Real Mental Disorder’

A new column in the Wall Street Journal by Allysia Finley suggests that the left’s obsession with climate change is a genuine mental disorder.

This from survivethenews.com.

She points to very real examples from politics and the liberal media to show how the obsession with climate change has even been substituted as a stand-in for other legitimate mental disorders.

None of this is surprising, however, when you see elected officials like AOC and others spreading doomsday prophecies about the world ending in ten years due to climate change. Authority figures have ginned up this false concept into a hysteria.

From the Wall Street Journal via MSN:

Climate Change Obsession Is a Real Mental Disorder

CNN proclaimed last week as temperatures climbed above 90 degrees in much of the country:

The media wants you to know it’s hot outside. ‘Heat health emergency’ nearly half the US at risk.

If heat waves were as deadly as the press proclaims, homo sapiens would not have survived thousands of years without air conditioning. Yet here we are. Humans have shown remarkable resilience and adaptation—at least until modern times, when half of society lost its cool over the fallacy of ‘climate change.’

A recent Bloomberg headline warns:

Extreme Temperatures Are Hurting Our Mental Health

Apparently, every social problem under the sun is now attributable to climate change. But it’s alarmist stories about bad weather that are fueling mental derangements worthy of the DSM-5—not the warm summer air itself.

The New Yorker magazine earlier this month published a 4,400-word piece titled What to Do With Climate Emotions by Jia Tolentino, a woman in the throes of such neurosis.

Ms. Tolentino wrote:

It may be impossible to seriously consider the reality of climate change for longer than ninety seconds without feeling depressed, angry, guilty, grief-stricken, or simply insane.

Ms. Tolentino continued by describing how climate therapists can help patients cope:

The goal is not to resolve the intrusive feeling and put it away [but, as one therapist advised her] to aim for a middle ground of sustainable distress.

Sustainable distress—what is that, if nothing more than a facade? My guess is that even the climate-change Left’s despair is “sustainable” for purposes of the overall climate change initiative.

And climate therapists—is that a real specialty now? Also, remember the Hippocratic oath, people—First, do no harm. But that too has been thrown out the window for purposes of the climate change initiative.

For a perfect example of how the hysteria has come about, look no further than the ever-brilliant Kamala Harris who said in an interview that young people are scared about the future because of climate change. She and others like her are putting that fear in people.

Communists/Globalists do not care what this is doing to their supporters. The Left is concerned with advancing their agenda, which is all they really care about.

Final thoughts: If globalism were to succeed tomorrow with their goals of total control over lives, the ‘climate change’ push would no longer be necessary. Granted, many of us would already be dead and those ‘common people’ who remain would be enslaved and the climate would be the least of their concerns.

Warning: August is going to be a hot month.
