Teen Suffers From ‘Climate Change Delusion’
Psychiatrists have detected the first case of “climate change delusion” — a 17-year-old driven to apocalyptic visions by global warming fears.
Writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Joshua Wolf and Robert Salo of the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, said this delusion was a “previously unreported phenomenon.”
They noted: “A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood . . . He also had visions of apocalyptic events.
“The patient had also developed the belief that, due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies.”
Andrew Bolt writes in Australia’s Herald Sun, “Never mind the poor boy, who became too terrified even to drink. What’s scarier is that people in charge of our government seem to suffer from this ‘climate change delusion’ too.”
