Sad times: mental health impact of Climate change on Americans grows

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights a Yale study showing that climate change is increasingly affecting mental health, with 16% of American adults reporting psychological distress due to its impact. While climate change is commonly understood as a physical threat, this study reveals the psychological toll it can take and not only affects individuals but also has societal and economic repercussions. Further research on this issue is expected in the coming years.
