Global Warming Destroys Mental Health

Canada's National Post is reporting on a recent study in the journal Psychological Medicine, that claims global warming could have "significant negative effects on global mental health." The report's author, British psychiatrist Lisa Page, claims that suicide rates increase during periods of hot weather, as do episodes of aggression and impulsivity. Consequently, she contends that "injuries from severe weather events, food and water scarcity, and population displacement" from global warming could cause "an increase in the overall burden of mental disorder worldwide."

Two words: Bovine Scatology (or BS for short).

The National Post article features Mardi Tindal of the United Church of Canada, who attended the global warming summit in Copenhagen, but returned with "an anxious despair that reduced her to weeping." The story continues:

She was so disappointed by the meeting's failure to reach a binding deal that she broke down in the car one day as her husband drove toward their home church in Brantford, Ont.

"I simply wept. My tears were quiet, but I spoke through them, and I was being listened to. My husband said, ‘There is great power in what you have just said, and it is a powerful message that makes clear why you are weeping.'"

"And I said, ‘Doug, I'm weeping for the millions of lives that have been lost as a result of what did and did not happen in Copenhagen," Ms. Tindal said. "My experience was that I had a place to go with my tears and my lament ... It's an expression of pain for the world's suffering."

Wow!

My contention is that those afflicted by this so-called Global Warming Depression are hysterical worrywarts, who would just as well latch onto some other issue were it not for the omnipresence of this hoax throughout the media. It is they (the media), as well as our government, who are to blame for this kind of hysteria, and it's outrageous that the hoax is still being peddled around as fact, despite recent revelations of data manipulation among the scientific community.

Have they no shame?
