Great News for Humanity: Depressed Liberals Are Increasingly Suicidal Due to 'Climate Anxiety,' Study Finds
They're not having children, either, which is also great
Depressed liberals are increasingly at risk of suicide due to so-called climate change, according to a group of European and French-Canadian scientists. The alleged findings, while morbid, could signal a bright future for the human race. A world with fewer annoying people would make life more tolerable for the rest of us. The species would grow more resilient, and the planet might also (somewhat ironically) benefit from the decline in population, assuming it isn't a hoax.
"Negative psychological responses related to the observed and anticipated impacts of climate change, such as climate anxiety, eco-anxiety and climate-related guilt have ... emerged as a potential risk factor for poor mental health and suicide-related behaviors," the authors wrote last month in Nature Medicine. "International surveys show that concern about climate change is associated with feelings of despair, hopelessness, anger, frustration and guilt, especially among younger populations."
