Over the past few weeks Clover Hogan has found herself crying during the day and waking up at night gripped by panic. The 20-year-old, who now lives in London, grew up in Queensland, Australia, cheekbyjowl with the country’s wildlife, fishing frogs out of the toilet and dodging snakes hanging from the ceiling. The bushfires ravaging her homeland over the past few weeks have taken their toll. “I’ve found myself bursting into tears… just seeing the absolutely harrowing images of what’s happening in Australia–it is overwhelming and terrifying.”(Snip) Psychologists warn that the impact can be debilitating for the growing number

Educate yourself snowflake. It's brushfires, a regular occurrence there and climate has nothing to do with it

Really? Is this really true, or is it the daily drivel on climate change? I think it is the daily drivel, another propaganda article, more horse mash. Feedback to narrative propagandists: This is going nowhere. Have a nice day!

Anyone who still believes in the man-made climate change hoax just WANTS to believe it! They fail to educate themselves, and accept the lies because they want to. Everyone needs to believe in something, but it shouldn't be a lie!

A victim of the media and the near-universal message of an imminent Apocalypse. How else would we expect a child to react? The War against 'climate change' requires a war-time panic among the population so that they willingly follow power-seekers on the Left.

I can explain what's going on here...it's a condition called 'mental illness.'

Chicken Little, no doubt, also was overwhelmed and terrified when that acorn fell on his little snowflake noggin. Hey, little cupcake, you need to come out of your protective shell and learn what the world is really about! Believe me, the more you learn about real life, the happier and more secure in your mind you will be!

Greta Thunberg's diatribes are a prime example of commie climate anxiety syndrome. Only difference is, she has been able to monetize it and achieve sainthood because of it.

The problem is many people believe human history started the day they were born. All the floods, droughts, fires, hurricanes, and blizzards that happened throughout history are ignored.

STOP LYING TO CHILDREN!
They can handle the truth.
Just tell them they are all going to die from climate change if they if they don't drop out of school, get a sign, and publicly shame every adult including all their family members who aren't 100% all in for Greta.

Climate change is a religion, not a science.

Once upon a time people were whipped up into believing that the Jews would be the end of them and predictable they got out of sorts and did some really bad things. Exchange "Climate Deniers" with Jews and forecast your own future.
They made sure the Jews didn't have guns before rounding them up, thank goodness they aren't trying to uhoh....... wait a minute you don't suppose.......

She knows, doesn't she, that they have arrested a LOT of arsons for starting most of those bushfires?
Here's a thought that should help her sleep: if these fear mongers really, truly believed their own message of gloom and doom, they wouldn't be living the life they are: no more plane rides, no multi-million dollar beach houses, they'd have one small house, powered by solar panels they'd bike every where, and vacation in the backyard. But they don't live like that do they? And the ones that scream the loudest about the "imminent danger," are usually the ones making money off of the "climate crises" and living like kings from the proceeds. And, they sleep just fine.

I could hardly get through the intro paragraph. Wish I could find my mother's pearls so I could clutch them, or bunch up my drawer or find my fainting couch. I may be going into the vapors! /s

Global warming has caused a major increase in arsonists.
If it keeps getting warmer - - we'll all be arsonists.
Build more windmills - - NOW!

Be afraid. Be very afraid. There is a monster in your closet.
Trouble is, there have always been monsters. It used to be the Gods, who brought disease and death when you didn't do the right sacrifice. Then it was the Emperors, who had to be obeyed on pain of death. And now it is the right-thinking Mob, whom you must follow or die!
I lived through Nuclear Winter. Somehow. I lived through Peak Oil. Somehow. I have lived through more Armageddons than I can count. I have spent time cowering under a desk, waiting for the atom bombs to fall. I have spent time shivering when the lights went out, because somebody wanted a nuclear power plant closed. Oh yes. Be afraid.
One day you are going to die. All living things do.
But it will not be from Anthropogenic Global Warming. There is no AGW. There is just climate, which changes from day to day.
And Australia has had a drought. We had one in the US in the 1930s. Droughts make things dry, and then they burn. Has been happening for millions of years.
The land recovers. We drove through Yosemite a few years back, and saw the new growth rapidly covering the places with the dead trees. Mount Saint Helens became vegetated very quickly.
Stuff happens. Get used to it.

No, it's just a BS scam. Ignore it, relax and sleep soundly.
It's all lies.

It is cruel to frighten children with the goblin of climate change. about the nature of communist ideology and the realities of it in practice.
When we were little children in school, we had nuclear bomb tests when we had to dive under our desks. What a joke! and we knew it. Certainly our parents were assuring us, we just weren't' afraid... at least in our family. Our parents were realists, after all, they had gone through WWII. They also taught us about the nature of communism, from when we were in grammar school. My first term paper in my social studies class was on the collective farms in the USSR!
It just so happens, that all socialist/communist countries have the filthiest environments, lakes, rivers, air. When the Berlin Wall came down, people saw the shocking environmental degradation. They cared about and care about power.

Where do they find these lunatics, and why am I supposed to let them destroy my life?

What the left can't rule with hate...
... they try to conquer with fear. Our current warming is the cyclical re-occurrence of warming such as we had in the Medieval Warming period, the Roman Warming period and the Minoan warming period... all of which arguably occurred without SUVs, coal-fired electric plants or other 'human influence.' The only thing different now is that, with more CO2, the planet is greener.
That's it.
Scary, no?

Climate change is a very effective way to trick the simpleminded but well-meaning into supporting Marxism. And the humanitarian left keeps pushing the Panic button despite the anguish it creates in these people, all to satisfy the left's twisted lust for wealth and power.
