Climate Change Anxiety Support Group
(A nonpartisan group in Kosability)
"Experts call it "climate grief"-
depression, anxiety and mourning over climate change.
According to a Yale survey taken this year, anxiety is rising in the U.S. over the climate. Sixty-two percent of people surveyed said they were at least somewhat worried about the climate, up from 49 percent in 2010. The rate of those who described themselves very worried was 21 percent, about double the rate of a similar study in 2015. nbcnews.com/…
(KosAbility: meets the last Sunday of each month at 4pm PT / 7pm ET. We are a volunteer diarist community of, by & for people living with disabilities, who love someone with a disability, or who want to know more about the issues. Our use of "disability" includes temporary as well as permanent health and medical conditions, from small, gnawing problems to major, life-threatening ones. Our use of "love someone" extends to cherished members of other species. Our discussions are open threads in the context of this community. Feel free to comment on the diary topic, ask questions of the diarist, or generally to everyone, share something you've learned, tell bad jokes, post photos, or rage about your situation. Our only rule is to be kind; trolls will be spayed or neutered.)
