group of psychologists working with the University of Bath says it is receiving a growing volume of enquiries from teachers, doctors and therapists unable to cope.
The Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA) told The Daily Telegraph some children complaining of eco-anxiety have even been given psychiatric drugs.
The body is campaigning for anxiety specifically caused by fear for the future of the planet to be recognised as a psychological phenomenon.
However, they do not want it classed as a mental illness because, unlike standard anxiety, the cause of the worry is “rational”.

I had to de-indoctrinate my daughter from all that AGW drivel.
Her teachers were quite upset with me saying she could get a failing grade. I countered with they are not supposed to teach one side but to present both sides of the equation.
So I told my daughter to parrot what they said but not to worry because nothing in reality would happen.

A science teacher has to teach...well, science.
Scientific evidence that we have now shows climate change and predictive analytics when used on this science shows the indicated outcome
Could it be changed and/or refuted one day? I suppose so- there was also a time when science showed that a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence; now it's different. But the science teachers have to teach what the current scientific truth is. What choice do they have?

But when they start putting time frames to whatever disaster du jour is at the moment is over the top. It should be said it’s theory. Not hard fact.
