The Mental Health Crisis Fueled by Climate Change
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explained the concept of solastalgia, a mental health condition linked to climate change.

McIntyre connected this to Freud’s theory of the uncanny, noting that unlike nostalgia, solastalgia cannot be relieved by going home—because the home itself has changed or vanished.
