"We know young people are really suffering anxiety about the #ClimateCrisis. We have to be honest and we have to address this. With good publicly funded, #ClimateChange education."

listened to this earlier during work. sometimes, we need those reminders that we’re not alone in our anxiety. Climate anxiety isn’t discussed as much, likely because it’s so heavy. But it’s good to see more coverage of it. #ClimateChange #ClimateAnxiety

Excluding straight up greed & outright evil, #ClimateDenial is actually just #ClimateAnxiety wearing a cheap mask.
Climate Denial is that same destructive coping tactic we so often use against things that scare us, cause us pain, scar us. We bury it down deep. Pretend it never happened. Look the other way. Like so many pathologies it's destructive beyond the individual & acts out in ways detrimental to society
1/2 #ClimateAction #yyc
For young people, climate change isn’t a distant threat—it’s a daily frightening reality.
A global survey of 10,000 found 60% are deeply worried about the future. And whom do they blame? Governments.
2/3 say leaders are failing them—ignoring science, delaying action, and gambling with their future.
The real question is: Will we, too, fail them?

J’ai vérifié, j’ai pas fait d’#introduction en 2017.
A force de me frotter au problème et à ses solutions dans ma vie pro, j’ai développé une belle #ClimateAnxiety.
Du coup je fais ma part en #Vélotaf, en #VehiculeÉlectrique ou en #Train.
Mes centres d’intérêt : la bonne table, la #SF, la #BandeDessinée, ma fille, le #Jazz (plutôt free, mais aussi Be-Bop ou New-Orleans), le bon gros #Blues ou le #Rock, le #LogicielLibre, la #Technologie en général et la #Politique.
C’est éclectique.
Causons !
I see the Guardian is running a piece on how #volunteering to clean up a local park "cured" someone #ClimateAnxiety
In other words pipe down and look the other way while the world burns.
"So many students have this extreme #ClimateAnxiety, these beautiful, creative, bright young people are saying they don't feel like I have a future, & many don't want kids. With my own climate anxiety what got me involved was thinking 'how do I make this a better world for my students?'"
With 2024 almost 1.6°C above average, how about we crowd source the MEER cooling solution: find an old mirror or three, and lay them flat on the ground in an open area: let’s make our Earth a giant disco ball to buy some time to get off fossil fuels.

This blog post explores the rising issue of eco-anxiety. I discuss strategies to help clients manage environmental stressors, including providing coping mechanisms, fostering resilience, and encouraging collective action.

@shonin@mastodon.world This is a very important and useful read for addressing burnout suffered by climate activists.

It’s snowing for the first time since I have been in Tallinn.
On the 20th of November. It’s quite late.
It’s terrible how the climate crisis anxiety can get me even at the highest latitude I have ever been at, while it’s 0ºC outside.

I'm torn between being ecstatic to be able to have tea in the garden one more time, and being horrified because it's November in Saskatchewan and it really shouldn't be this nice. #climatecrisis #climateanxiety #baking

Strange that #climateanxiety is not mentioned as a reason for the falling birthrate.
"#ClimateAnxiety has a spectrum: "a host of experiences encompasses both existential fear and acute trauma."
"People told her they began to feel better, she said, when they got involved with something — a group, a campaign, a movement — and found their place as part of something bigger."
(This assumes that you have time and means to join a group).
