On Thursday a new survey found that 45% of UK students worry about climate change once a week or more.
Literature student Meg Watts, 22, said that she had experienced depression after being overwhelmed by the scale of problems facing the planet.
Christ, when I was 22 the only 'overwhelming' thing I faced was whether to go to the US or Europe for holiday, and whether that dreamy guy in the post room would be a hot date (Reader, he wasn't...).
And she sought therapy after developing disordered eating when trying to cut out food packaged with plastic.
I...
I just...
Of course, where there's snowflakes, there's an 'initiative', as the parasites scramble to such their metaphysical blood:
The new programme was developed with mental health charity Norfolk and Waveney Mind, who realised young people were coming for counselling about their fears about climate change.
And of course, not told to go away because this was a service for people with real problems...
Speaking to BBC News, development student Stephen Kirk, 21, said his anxieties around climate change began at school. He dug for information online about global warming and biodiversity, and became anxious and angry.
"Sometimes I feel quite alone with climate change and the emotions that I feel around it," he explained. But the climate cafe was a "safe and open space to just talk" without worrying about how others react, he said.
So it starts in schools. Close this nonsense down to protect future generations! You know it makes sense...

I have taken to using “custards” to replace the term “snowflakes”. The colour seems appropriate but mostly it is because they get upset over trifles.
"He dug for information online about global warming..."
It's a pity that he didn't stumble across watts up with that, Bishop Hill or Not a lot of people know that. That would have alleviated the anxiety about climate change but left him with totally insane government policies to fret about instead.
In an ideal world these "climate cafés" would employ people like us to speak some truth and tell the poor souls that they have been misled. It won't be an easy job,as someone once said, it's easier to get people to believe a lie than to convince them that they have been lied to.
"He dug for information online about global warming..."
Using Google, undoubtedly. Which is why he didn't find WUWT, BH, Not A Lot Of People Know That, JoNova, Tony Heller or a myriad other REAL sources of information....
I would like to ask all these warble gloaming morons what, in their opinion, ended the last ice age? Unless they can prove it's the fault of all those nasty Neanderthals and their diesel engines, they should grow up and accept it is a natural phenomenon.
What should we do about this?
Maybe we should (King Canute style) tell our planet that we want another ice age?
We are still leaving the last ice which is why the Earth is warming up a bit.
"I have taken to using “custards” to replace the term “snowflakes”. The colour seems appropriate but mostly it is because they get upset over trifles."
🤣

I suspect his searches were very explicit about what he wanted returned..
"I would like to ask all these warble gloaming morons what, in their opinion, ended the last ice age? "
And how come it was the last ice age, and not THE ice age...😁
