Is Global Warming Driving You Crazy?
Throughout history, society's mass fears have worked their way into the quaint psychoses of each generation. Whether it's the threat of nuclear annihilation, AIDS, going to school in your underwear, or just about anything else that you can have bad dreams about, seemingly unrelated cases of mental illness can be fixated on a single delusion. These days, psychiatrists are tracking an outbreak of freak outs that all seem to hinge on the fear of global warming. Doctors are calling it climate change delusion. The first case was recorded in Australia, when a 17 year old boy was admitted to a psychiatric unit because he refused to drink water, believing that it would result in millions of deaths. Now, doctors are noting a rise in all kinds of psychosis and anxiety disorders that center around climate change. At this point it seems important to study whether climate change is creating mass hysteria, or whether it's a topic of societal obsession seized on by susceptible minds.
Either way, if your starting to feel that climate change paranoia is dominating your every move, you might consider taking An Inconvenient Truth out of your DVD player and ignoring mass media -- except Green Daily -- for a little while.
