To beat climate change, we must beat climate anxiety

The next generation of leaders, those who will bear the full burden of rising temperatures, are increasingly terrified of climate change.

According to a recent international study, 56% of teenagers and young adults believe that humanity is doomed. While young people are right to feel concerned about our planet’s health, some climate activists’ alarmist rhetoric is creating a mental health crisis — and undermining our ability to solve the climate crisis. We must reject climate alarmism, and climate denialism, to beat climate change.
