Whenever I see a report of a suicide, I wonder what that person knew that I have yet to learn about this place...and 'climate change' is just the smokescreen for the actual tsunami of death which will be worldwide famine because our population growth in the next two generations and chaotic climate will completely wipe out our food supply...at this point, anything over two children is a crime against Humanity...but our parasites NEED ever more factory workers and soldiers...so parasite panic when even the RATE of population GROWTH declines a bit...but trying to explain that Homo demens became biologically insane ~70K years ago is difficult for average Humans to see even if the fossil record shows it clearly in our shrinking crania since that time.

This so-called eco-anxiety is fuelled by a hodge-podge of activist groups like Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion, left-leaning "educators," and media political groups, and unaccountable administrations within the UN, such as the IPCC. The constant barrage of disaster scenarios based on manipulated data, GIGO models, manipulated news, a pathological hatred of both market economies and fossil fuels, and zero understanding of baseload power and energy density is scaring the bejeezus out of emotionally fragile kids whose critical thinking skills haven't yet developed.

It goes without saying that we should protect the environment and that climate is a dynamic system that changes gradually. The mechanisms are slowly being understood, at a pace slow enough that we can adapt. Prof. Bjorn Lomborg, someone who subscribes to the AGW hypothesis, understands that changes will happen gradually, not catastrophically as some claim (against the evidence), and there's no need to panic and send resources in the wrong direction.

Verily so.

It is an unavoidable impact of the adverse climate change on human psychology. Most unfortunately, this has been further compounded by the deep anxiety over the unrelenting spread of the virus.

Worse has yet to come. Be prepared to face any worrisome consequences..

And of course the whole scientific consensus that consider the climate change a product of human activity without any realistic possibility of this not being true. So the actual fuel would be from the companies and governments that persist in doing ecologically disastrous activities just because of the profits.
