Actual Headline: ‘What Happens When Climate Change and the Mental-Health Crisis Collide?’
The evil behind radical climate change schemes

“What happens when climate change and the mental-health crisis collide?”
That actual headline in Nature.com triggered my BS meter. What does climate change have to do with mental health?
“The warming planet is worsening mental illness and distress. Researchers need to work out the scale of the problem and how those who need assistance can be helped,” the editorial continues.
It gets much more hyperbolic:
“Nearly one billion people worldwide — including one in seven teenagers — have a mental disorder. A growing body of research suggests that climate change is worsening people’s mental health and emotional well-being. Acute heatwaves, droughts, floods and fires fuelled [sic] by climate change cause trauma, mental illness and distress. So can chronic effects of global warming, such as water and food insecurity, community breakdown and conflict, as we report in a News feature.”
Think about this: “Acute heatwaves, droughts, floods and fires fueled by climate change cause trauma, mental illness and distress.” Says who? They do in another of their own articles: The rise of eco-anxiety: scientists wake up to the mental-health toll of climate change.
The “growing body of research” they reference is a 2021 dubious white paper at Imperial College London Grantham Institute, which recommends a well-coordinated “international network including key stakeholders (e.g. government, healthcare systems, community groups, academics, emergency responders) to catalyse [influence] knowledge-sharing, target research efficiently, and identify and scale up successful interventions.” [emphasis the Globe]
They also recommend:
- Prioritise successful climate mitigation and adaptation actions that have co-benefits for mental health and reducing social inequalities. Such actions could include: improving air quality, providing equitable access to nature and improving the energy efficiency of housing.
- Implement appropriate strategies to manage and reduce the severity of any negative mental health impacts when they do occur. [emphasis the Globe]
It doesn’t take much research to find that Grantham Institute (and its foundation) is in cahoots with other dubious “philanthropic” groups:
“We have long-standing relationships with Rare, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, Rocky Mountain Institute, and Environmental Defense Fund. We work with these organizations to advance novel environmental and climate solutions.”
Rare “focuses on tackling climate change, protecting biodiversity, securing food systems, promoting equity in conservation, and driving public funds and private capital toward better environmental outcomes…”
“The Nature Conservancy is tackling the dual threats of accelerated climate change and unprecedented biodiversity loss.”
World Wildlife Fund: Our vision is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. To deliver this mission, we work to conserve and restore biodiversity, the web that supports all life on Earth; to reduce humanity’s environmental footprint; and to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources to support current and future generations. [emphasis the Globe]
Environmental Defense Fund says “As climate change builds upon historic injustices and inequities, our climate solutions must center justice.”
…including the Rocky Mountain Institute, “a 501(c)3 nonprofit aiming to radically improve America’s energy practices.”
Rocky Mountain Institute proposes “carbon-free buildings” – that means all-electric. They say, “Commercial buildings consume more than 35 percent of the generated electricity in the U.S. and are underperforming at every level. They waste energy, emit too much carbon, and are too costly for owners and occupants.”
The carbon free buildings program at Rocky Mountain Institute states:
We Must:
Construct only zero-carbon buildings
Retrofit 5% of buildings annually
Ensure electric and efficient appliances
Rocky Mountain Institute claims they are: “Driving the technical, policy, and regulatory solutions to accelerate the transition to all-electric buildings.”
Under the Rocky Mountain Institute RMI Carbon-free Electricity program, they say:
We Must:
Scale clean energy portfolios
Build clean, competitive, modern grids
Make utilities clean energy champions
Natural gas does not fit into this model.
And because these radical environmentalist organizations can’t get buy-in from the public on their climate change schemes, they collude with academia to create a crisis:
i.e. the collision of “climate change and the mental-health crisis.”
The Globe reported in December 2023 that the City of Sacramento is developing a plan to electrify every building in the city to create an all-electric city – under the guise of its “Climate Action and Adaptation Plan” that details “the City’s efforts to support the State goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.”
That’s a bureaucratic way of saying we’re taking your gas stove and gas heater away – for your own good. And your gas hot water heater and gas BBQ, and your gas car.
In January of 2022, the Globe reported that California is pushing to become the first state to ban natural gas heaters, water heaters, and furnaces by 2030, a policy of the California Air Resources Board, entirely made up of appointees by the governor.
One of the footnotes references the Rocky Mountain Institute.
Even more disturbing, the World Health Organization is named in the studies, as are many Chinese studies.
The City document reports that “in September 2022 the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to eliminate subsidies for new gas line extensions beginning in July 2023. In addition, the CPUC adopted a new framework in December 2022 to plan for maintenance and retirement of gas distribution infrastructure.”
I remember when natural gas was clean energy.
Getting back to the Imperial College London study, which claims:
“Groups already affected by social inequalities such as those with existing mental illness.”
Since when is mental illness a “social inequality?”
The Imperial College London study reveals the plan:
“There is good news, as there is still an opportunity to turn this from a vicious to a virtuous cycle. Actions that address climate change will have an even greater return than currently expected, as they will prevent or reduce adverse effects on mental health that have not yet been considered in policies and budgets.
For example, burning fossil fuels causes climate change and poor air quality, and hence cutting back on fossil fuels reduces a) climate change, b) the impact of warming temperatures on mental health, and c) the mental health impacts associated with poor air quality. Such action provides opportunity to build more equitable societies (itself vital for improving mental health and wellbeing), with individuals in poorer areas more likely to be affected by, for example, poor air quality associated with fossil fuel burning. Further, when individuals take action to address and respond to climate change, this may also be protective for their mental health 25–27. Policy responses can therefore make multiple gains, win-win opportunities or ‘co-benefits’, by leveraging common solutions to the dual challenges of climate change and mental health.” [emphasis the Globe]
The evil behind these plans is very well-funded, the goal of which is really power and control, achieved through manufactured energy shortages.
“Researchers are, for instance, trying to develop global mental-health indicators that can be linked to weather and climate data, as part of the LancetCountdown on Health and Climate Change, a collaboration of specialists from more than 50 academic institutions and United Nations agencies,” Nature.com reports.

The world has gone mad!
This is a fabricated construct to control our lives and scare many into submission.
The WEF and WHO will work to convince the ill informed this is our next health crisis.
Carbon feeds life! It is essential to growth.
Remember, these are the same people that want you to eat bugs and fake meat!
Trust in God and not in these bogus “experts”!
“Climate Fetish” Book– An urban myth is a fictional tale or conspiracy theory that circulates widely, is told and retold and presumed true by mere repetition. Urban myths are spread and illuminated in mass media, and become part of popular culture. Urban myths circulate from no singular source and can survive as fearmongering news items. Myth-making eco-propagandists have become mainstream news media assets. Urban myths can be dangerous propaganda that causes civic alarm and paranoia often for nefarious political advantage. Examples are the global Y2K internet collapse, white privilege, Russian collusion, World War III and endless doomsday scenarios. For over a half century, environmentalists have menaced us with fear-mongering scenarios of man-made ecological apocalypse. The environmental movement is the most densely-organized movement in human history. There are over 15,000 environmental nonprofits in the U.S. Having run out of green campaign grievances for their tax-exempt fundraising, radical eco-groups have come up with the most fantastic, intractable and theoretical problem of all – controlling dynamic, natural global climate variabilities (atmospheric thermodynamic radiative forcing). In scapegoating climate change for every inexplicable natural phenomenon and natural disaster, green-government tyranny would subvert capitalism itself with “climate austerity.” Partisan green-government regulations inflate the costs of goods, services, activities, food, and energies.
This definitely looks like a book worth reading.
Paul, thanks for that assessment. As a former anthropology PhD candidate, I can tell you with certainty that climate zealots check all the boxes for exhibiting religious cult behavior. It’s an apocalyptical “End of World ” myth that includes high priests who demand that you dare not question the myth. You can’t feel, see or experience the stated calamity beyond dealing with everyday weather. They dismiss any weather event that contradicts the myth, saying simply “we predicted that.” The myth completely ignores the fact that the Earth was considerably warmer during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods when life flourished. It also ignores the fact that the planet is still at the end of a glacial period. Carbon is the primary villain, completely ignoring that life does not exist without carbon. Politicians embrace the cult because it gives them extraordinary power to control everyone’s lives. It’s nothing more than a return to the Dark Ages. Complain and you get burned at the stake.
If you believe all the lies about global warming you will end up insane if you were not insane already. Telling people they are going to die because people are breathing and eating and there is nothing they can do about it will drive people with no critical thinking skills nuts.
This narrative is intended to facilitate piggy-backing the “climate change” agenda onto the push to give the WHO dictatorial power over national health policy. They’ll be able to mandate ‘climate lockdowns’ and energy rationing by framing it as a public health emergency. All of the lunatic drivel coming out of the left wing media, academia, and the various WEF and Gates/Soros funded non profits and NGO’s is interconnected; part of the same agenda. Welcome to The Great Reset.
Katy Grimes succinctly nailed the climate change scam with the comment that “evil behind these plans is very well-funded, the goal of which is really power and control, achieved through manufactured energy shortages.” As John Dunlop posted above, there’s an interconnected group of players behind the climate change scam and many of us have awakened to it.
What might be interesting is the more traveled among us might comment about what similar organizations work in other countries, and how they are perceived or received by the average person there?
I suspect, like many other “issues” California seems to have, existing now where else, the orgs are now scheming to extract more money from the economy and sue their way to happiness..
Miwok, I believe that Germany has actually surpassed the United States in climate insanity. German climate cult members persuaded their government to shut down all that country’s nuclear reactors. The immediate result is that many Germans were tearing down fences and outbuildings this winter and burning the wood so they would not freeze to death.
Not that many decades ago Germany lead the world in science and technology, much to the amazement and anxiety of the rest of the world. Germany is now a laughing stock led by climate cult morons.
