Climate change's toll on mental health
When people think about climate change, they probably think first about its effects on the environment, and possibly on their physical health. But climate change also takes a significant toll on mental health, according to a new report. Ref. Source 5q.
Yes any time your climate changes it is going to effect the human body. We all can see and know the physical effects but there will always be mental effects too. Dealing with a new climate is something every one will need to cope with and some people can cope with change much better than others.
No laughing matter, yet humor inspires climate change activism. Melting icecaps, mass flooding, megadroughts and erratic weather are no laughing matter. However, a new study shows that humor can be an effective means to inspire young people to pursue climate change activism. At the same time, fear proves to be an equally effective motivator and has the added advantage of increasing people's awareness of climate change's risks. Source 9k.
