The Earth now produces more food than ever before. There is more than enough food to go around; if not for political disputes, there's no reason for hunger anywhere in the world. In fact, obesity has replaced starvation as the world's biggest nutrition-related health problem.
One might think this food security would reduce anxiety, but now there's a new cause for alarm: Climate change. The caption to the chart below says this: "CO2 levels shown in red are strongly correlated to global warming hysteria & cognitive disorders. Temperatures, not so much."
Americans' Mental Health is Latest Victim of Changing Climate

Claim: Zero global warming is causing pre-traumatic stress disorder, depression, substance abuse, suicide, violence, undoing evolution...
Here we go again, a new gloom & doom article published by Live 'Science' claims "Americans' mental health is the latest victim" of the zero degrees of global warming over the past 20 years. According to the author, "The emotional toll of global warming is expected to become a national — and potentially global — crisis that many mental health experts warn could prove far more serious than its physical and environmental effects."
Among the list of horrors cited are "post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, academic issues among kids, substance abuse, suicide, widespread outbreaks of violence, "undoing millions of years of evolution" [devolution?], a collective sense of sadness-anger-defeat, harm to interpersonal relationships, people less able to work constructively or do well in school, and ultimately injure the day-to-day functioning of our society and our economy."

The article introduces the previously little-known diagnosis of "pre-traumatic stress disorder" that increasingly occurs in climate activists. "This kind of anticipatory anxiety is especially crippling and is increasingly being seen among climate activists — in some cases rising to the level of a kind of 'pre-traumatic' stress disorder."
Perhaps the biggest victims of the global warming scam are the children: "Some children are already anxious about global warming and begin to obsess, understandably, about the future, unmoved by the small reassurances adults may attempt to put forth," according to a National Wildlife Federation report.

And some say the lack of global warming is therefore improving mental health:
