Big Green, Inc. feeds off fear.
Just The News (8/21/24) reports: "In the wake of widespread fears of climate change, an entire new field of psychotherapy has sprung up to treat what is being called 'climate anxiety.' Climate-aware therapists are specialists who treat people whose anxiety about climate change interferes with their enjoyment of life. These specialists are now available in just about every major city across the United States. The degree to which climate change will pose risks to people in the future is far from certain, and the human race is today safer from climate than it was 100 years ago. The number of deaths from climate-related natural disasters has fallen 99% since 1920. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...has five emissions scenarios — with and without policies to mitigate them. Under every scenario, the human race is, to one degree or another, better off economically in 100 years than it is today. Despite these facts, many people, especially young people, are experiencing serious anxiety over climate change. A 2021 Lancet survey of 10,000 people aged 16-25 years, found that 59% were very or extremely worried and 84% were at least moderately worried...Dr. Matt Wielicki, former assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama and publisher of 'Irrational Fear,' told Just the News that as a professor he became concerned about the narrative on climate change when he saw the distress many of his students were experiencing over what they believed about global warming. 'I think this is the first generation where they've their whole lives that the planet is on its way to ending at some point in their lifetime, civilization is going to collapse and the food supply will be destroyed,' Wielicki said."

"The modern electric grid is an essential aspect of our modern lives. We all rely on it to turn on the lights, to keep food refrigerated, to warm us in the winter and cool us in the summer."
