Legal philosopher Eva Vlaardingerbroek calls out extreme climate change rhetoric on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'they have been predicting for years means more than rising tides, devastating storms and economic upheaval – it also means a growing mental health crisis for young Americans as they learn about and prepare to face these challenges.
Thompson’s bill notes that a study from the American Public Health Association and ecoAmerica shows that nearly half of America’s youth has"developed depression after a climate-related disaster." Based on the expectation that these disasters will increase in number, Thompson says Congress must act to bolster the mental health of young Americans.
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., proposed a resolution that calls for climate change education, but also more mental health services for kids coping with climate change. Her resolution argues that children must be educated about the causes and effects of climate change, as well as potential solutions. Lee also agreed with Thompson that more mental health care is needed for kids as they take on this enormous task.
