Honestly the news is responsible for 90% of the anxiety out there. News corporations do nothing but broadcast all of the worlds problems, without ever asking any of the hard questions. The reporting they do is to provoke fear, not provide answers to the problems. We need better

'If we're not pairing climate change communications about the risks with the actions we can take, that can increase a lot of anxiety for people” Katie Hayes. Most effective actions climate anxious folks can take are general strikes & boycotts. Make 1% tell pols to mitigate: Me.

So... Not climate change but the anxiety caused by climate doomsday alarmists telling kids they are all going to die in an apocalypse and making them feel hopeless for their futures.

Throw away phones, computers, climate nuts! Look in mirror, look at your FreakLiberal fake ClimateLeaders — Greta, Prince Harry, vile Meghan Markle, Justin Trudeau. They have huge … huge carbon footprints, but lecture us. Stuff it! Ur generation is greatest polluter. AP

Ffs definitely a CBC piece

Are they trying to stop the anxiety or the underlying climate issues? While both matter...

Only the cuckoos are preaching climate change. They have been preaching it for many many of years. As a matter of fact people are living longer today than they were back then

The MSM and the corrupt people in charge created the climate BS. This is the largest fraud ever!

If you're not building nuclear reactors like crazy then the climate isn't the emergency you claim it is.

The media is hurting peoples health with the fearmongering.

“Hmmm, how can we get people to stop feeling anxious about the end of the world so they can go back to work and keep buying stuff.” What a failure to recognize a world beyond capitalism does to a brain.

Then lay off the fear mongering.

NONODY WILL EVER CONTROL THE COSMOS (AKA WEATHER) YOUR MEGALOMANIAC DESIRES JUST SHOW US HOW LIMITED YOUR THINKING AND UNDERSTANDING OF IT IS.

People need to care for and protect our environment. Plant some trees instead of throwing your plastic water bottle on the side of the road.

Scientists say the CBC is a fear-mongering liberal sponsored rag. Stop the spread of fear. Turn off your TV

That's easy. Defund the likes of you.

I'm doing my part by starting the car to run the ac for a half hour before a 8 minute drive. Truth is noone cares.

Its the media that is causing all the anxiety. Stop the BS and quit promoting fear, especially for our youth. Give them hope, not lies. Agriculture proves the weather is fine, with record food production almost every year

Really? Treatment in Canada = drugs and good oharma business = money for doctors for recommending specific companies. Talking about Treatment instead of cure, very typical in Canada. You can't loose your business CBC, you need mentally sick people to support you

'trying to learn' wow an epic quest for knowledge who knows if we will ever know

No it isn't. We don't give a sh*t...

'Climate anxiety' is a nonsensical term only ever being used by the news media and Climate change theorist...

Gee I hope they are working on a climate change vaccine. That’s the only way we will ever truly be safe! 🤡🤡🤡

Anyone who suffers from Climate anxiety should turn off the news ! Or get a life

Is chest pain one of the symptoms?

Wt actual phuck

'Treat climate anxiety' what in the actual fuck is this world... 🤡🌎

You can't turn on the tv without someone yapping about climate change - no wonder folks are freaked out.

It's not climate change that is affecting mental health. It is the messaging and scare tactics of the media that affects us. Without the news, anxiety would be zero. Report correctly.

Trudeau liberals are hurting everyone’s mental health

This generation seems unwilling to invent their way to a better future

Cbc is hurting the mental health of Canadians more than anything else...

Billions around the world struggle to eat. Not a nutritious diet, not a balanced diet, just eat. A few thousand in Canada suffer from climate anxiety. Rich country syndrome. A trip to Asia or Africa will widen your horizons and cure your climate anxiety in a heartbeat

Can I get time off work for this?

And the biggest contributor to that anxiety is lying media, that doesn't question government agendas!

“CLIMATE ANXIETY”? IS THERE A VACCINE THAT DOESN’T WORK BUT ENRICHES GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND BIG PHARMA FOR THAT?

it's the lies the media et al spread. There is your root, now we can pull it!!

The best start is to stop listening to Government PR establishments such as yourselves.

Perhaps Trudeau and the liberal party not mentioning climate in every news and press conference would go a long way in reducing people's anxiety.

Parody account.

Ridiculous. The only thing that will fix climate anxiety is to stop killing the fuk'n planet.

We know how to treat it.. get rid of fossil fuel burning..

Ok doomer. Keep it up.

The CBC now plays the part of a mental diaper service for tremulous lefties.

People love their anxiety though, that's the thing. It makes them think they understand something others (that they view as lesser) don't.

This is a propaganda campaign trying to make people anxious

Anything but planting some trees

Slow news day? No time for government scandles again today?

A subset of generalized anxiety disorder, just another form of mental illness.

Of course, governments doing nothing to combat climate change can't be related to this

Why? People who feel this way clearly have an anxiety-related issues. It’s not some new branch of mental disorder.

🖕cbc ….solved

No they aren’t, I asked them.

It’s interesting that none of these climate activists from Canada ever attack China or India for there egregious climate records. They insist Canada sacrifices its domestic economic well being even though Canada contributes less than 2% of global carbon emissions.

Prepare for more propaganda.

I always think I have already seen the stupidest headline possible, but no

This. Is. Pathetic.

Climate anxiety. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 holy hell people sure are weak now a days

Ummmm climate fear mongering and lies are hurting mental health. My god CBC you are the worst. destroytheCBC

I literally just made a fire and burned all my plastic

Prepare for the climate change jab.

Tell the truth and we all just go about our days. Stop lying there is any kinda crisis

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤡🌎

I know a lot of people, you know what none of them have ever said? I have climate anxiety. I’m fact not one has ever said they even think about “the climate” The day to day weather, but never not once showed concern about “the climate”

Lockdowns, inflation, mask mandates, fuel prices, housing prices, interest rates, ArriveCan, passport delays- have a far greater impact on our mental health than whatever agenda the state funded broadcaster is pushing

Step one: Demolish CBC

Dismantling the CBC will fix anxiety quickly. Defunding alone will not help enough.

Stop drilling it into children's minds 24/7, how about that?

MSM and especially the CBC are creating the climate anxiety. CBC spreads poisonous govt propaganda misinformation and disinformation to create fear in Canadians. MSM needs to be held accountable for the disinformation they spread.

A good way to reduce climate anxiety is to get the CBC to stop promoting articles that make people anxious. People have anxiety about any number of things and there are plenty of professionals and protocols to treat them. You are creating anxiety, which I suspect, is the goal.

They sent me up north due to Climate change. There was a frog boy there. Plus a girl,she thought she was an astronaut with a plastic bag for a helmet.

I dunno, doing more to fight it seems like the way to go tbh

Anyone who believes that man is mainly responsible for climate change is definitely in need of help

I’m sick and tired of hearing about this

Stop pushing the climate agenda and you will stop creating weak people anxiety

The government could help by making good on their climate targets.

The only thing that will help is clear action by our leaders to stop the damage. Otherwise their anxiety is real and warranted.

Start by turning off CBC

Stop hunting for 20 years , let the forest and animals recover

Stop commercial deforestation, are we so stupid?

✝️🙏🇨🇦Meanwhile Christians look forward to God’s promise to us in Revelation chapter 21 in our Holy Bible: “The New Heaven and the New Earth” were ALL will be good and perfect.🇨🇦🙏✝️

'There's a problem called 'climate anxiety' where people are literally getting sick worrying about climate change. Find out how bad its getting after these messages.' (Greenpeace-funded video clips of natural disasters) (commercial for antidepressants)

There is no way to 'prevent' an appropriate rational anxiety about an escalating global crisis. The way to 'treat' it is to actually take the climate seriously with appropriate policies. Anything else is just conditioning people to be complacent about the death of our ecosystem.

defundCBC

All the scientists that get paid by Trudy,the rest are saying something totally different

To the devil with mental consequences. I’m more concerned about being able to breathe and drink clean water.

Stop it the climate had been changing for years stop pushing Trudeau's agenda all BS

Just this headline without reading ... climate anxiety might be addressed by actually doing something about the climate crisis .. you know .. instead of the thoughts and prayers .. or the blah blah blah rhetoric? Just a thought ..

Climate anxiety over climate change. Hmmm. Let's treat anxiety. How about addressing change? I swear it's too late, but let's try.

Your carbon footprint explained:

Cbc is doing the most damage to our mental health your destroying our country to make yourselves rich

Bias CBS's Liberal fearporn propaganda's hurting mental health

People are afraid of our rhetoric. How shall we ever solve this new crisis we invented out of thin air?

Presumably it's the same as normal anxiety?

Turn off the news!

Shut the news off! Problem solved.

This right here is some expert level lack of self awareness

It’s made up label to describe the condition of the blind followers, and believers who consume the fear based trash the mainstream media pumps out daily disguised as true journalism or news.

Lol only affects people that believe the bullshit climate change scam defund CBC now

I don't know anyone who has climate anxiety. 🤔 Just the anxiety brought on by the higher cost of gas thanks to the carbon tax.

Climate change isn't impacting our lives at all. The sadistic policies of the government and fearmongering media are.

Glad they're studying this and how to help, a lot of people are suffering. And then there's just the everyday anger, arguing w others, division and resentment. Getting this under control will make a difference big picture

lol go away

How about we stop brainwashing kids in elementary school! These anxieties exist because teachers are scaring kids who cannot comprehend what they are being told because they are too young!

Gee, I wonder why?

Everytime liberal poling drops news is released sparking a Canada wide panick of the dangers of 'climate change' people have been mislead by the liberal government to beleave climate change is something it isn't..

Great approach. Let the world burn and just keep telling people anxious about it that everything will be alright. ClimateCrisis

So much coverage on the climate yet not a peep from you about the farmers protest in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe..Agenda 2030 for the elites...2030 most likely will be a year of reckoning

Lol

Less CBC improves mental health.

Notice we no longer hear the phrase ‘tipping point’. Why? Because it’s beyond it. We fucked it. It’s done and no matter what we throw at it, it’s simply too late. Greed for power and money did this. You know who to thank. Those who are taxing and creating new laws for YOU.

Too late. We are already being impacted. Would take massive effort that many countries not prepared or able to make.

Climate alarmism and fearmongering seems to be the prime function of CBC these days and obviously what they're paid huge bonuses to promote. Are you now boasting about your hoped for outcome? DefundTheCBC

I have an idea....

Create a vaccine

Good grief😆🤦‍♂️

CBC is guilty of Covid fearmongering, promoting locking down healthy people & discrimination against citizens who didn’t get injected with mRNA gene therapy. You are a source of anxiety for many Canadians.

Now do inflation and high taxes anxiety.

Free treatment : turn off CBC

Are these the people they are reporting 21 degree heat warnings for ? defundtheCBC CBC most untrusted news

It starts with you. Stop the fear mongering.

No anxiety bec we dont read the MSM propaganda It's another hoax but need to give MSM credit for continuing to try. Remember the days of acid rain🤣🤣

Climate change is not hurting our mental health. Climate change phobic pushed by legacy medias and interest groups is hurting people's mental health.

Stop with the end of the world fear and it will treat it's self.....or you can ask Pfizer invent something.

CBC, please note that Government and Government Media create anxiety, higher taxes, and new taxes.

🤣🤣🤣

A diet free of mainstream news is the cure

There’s more mental health issues from your constant fear propaganda

lol 😂 go figure I’m sure it’s got something to do numb nuts Trudeau and the media and the rest of the world fear mongering us into believing that so they can go with EVs

Social control is best managed through fear

What a monu-mental waste of money.Previous generations are laughing so hard they’re changing the Earth’s axis,inducing climate change.

Constantly says it is the end of the world for the last 10+ years, changes weather map colors to look worse even when the temps are marked lower, wonders why people are anxious. You are causing this because the gov't likes fear. Easy to control scared people.

How about if our leaders did something instead of nothing as we are experiencing climate change in real time now. Anxiety is justified when we believe the earth is dying.

Climate change ie. global warming is a ruse to install fear in a population which then looks to another entity to keep them safe. This allows for more government control. Wake up.

Ahh lets see stop funding, CBC, GLOBAL, CTV. ETC for doing continual streaming in your face, climate news. Stop taxing the crap out of people using fear tactics. Would be a good start.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What a load of crap

I think it’s just the load of liberal bullshit that comes along with. That garbage gets old quick.

He only climate anxiety is caused by the liberal_party fear mongering. Absolutely ridiculous piece by paid propaganda msm.

Good grief

DefundTheCBC

The word scientist has lost a lot of meaning in the last decade.

Anxiety and excitement are feelings you have about things in the future. One is negative and one is positive. If you tell people the world is literally going to end and we're all going to suffer immensely then you'll likely end up with negative thoughts about the future.

Legacy media spreading fear using exaggeration are the ones to blame. There is no climate emergency the data shows that.

It would be a good start paid Lieberal propaganda machine to Stop bullshittin Canadians

Lmao cbc

News network runs nonstop stories about climate change to scare people....a while later same news network runs stories about how experts will deal with the fear regarding climate change. Clown world we're living in I tells ya.

I am not afraid….

Your continued lies, outlandish reports, unverified sources and scare tactics are the causes of mental health & brainwashing… While people are suffering from hunger, wars, famine, health crisis, unemployment, homelessness… your paid scientists exaggerate climate hoax !

More CBC fear mongering! Meanwhile...

There's a lot of money to be made in treating the symptom and not the cause👍

Turn off the MSM and social media = problem solved.

is it the climate (or covid) or is it the class of decision makers responsible for preventing us from taking appropriate actions about it? perhaps they suffer from some undiagnosed mass delusion- are we looking into this possibility

DefundTheCBC - that should help.

Wokeness is hurting mental health

So the MSM gets paid millions to scare the shit out people with none stop 24/7 climate change misinformation, oceans are rising says everyone with ocean front property. Heat warnings when it’s 28 degrees, we are going to die in 7 years for 50 years. Scientists are the problem

😂 politicians & media stroke those fears.

'Climate anxiety'! You've got to be kidding. The measurements of our weather show that the weather we are experiencing are within normal, historical parameters. There's no 'climate crisis' and nothing to worry about, so be happy and go about your lives normally. cdnpoli

Lol

It's only affecting people who read CBC news.

Put it in a vaccine. Liberals will take anything you say to.

Raises only for the masked and vaxxed to the max

Just normal cycles of heating on earth and not as bad as some in precious years

CBC: Puts out constant articles about why we should be afraid of climate change Also CBC: 'Why are people anxious about climate change?'

You cannot control the climate, no one can. There, don’t be anxious about it anymore. There saved you money!

Treat it by ADDRESSING IT.

I wonder who causes the anxiety ? Hmmmm🧐

Preventing radical liberal progressivism is an honorable goal.

YOUR LIES AND PROPAGANDA GETS MORE DISGUSTING EVERYDAY!

Oh please.

The new modern deity - “mother earth” They’re right - we are in trouble. They’re just wrong about the cause and the solution. This is going to get much worse. We are never going back to normal. Please read your Bible.

Listen to the song 'Singing in the rain'

Stop panicking and published nonsensical FUD about stuff we can't change maybe? That might be a start 🤷

Hurting your mental health hahahahah climate change my ass.

bethke Working in the fast food industry I can confirm over the past 7 yrs the heat has caused more closed days this year than ever before. This impacts all business. Want to change it? We need to pressure the UN to monetarily subsidize planting of trees in rain forest regions.

It's poppycock

There is an obvious easy way to treat climate anxiety. Governments actually doing something about the ClimateCrisis instead spending billions subsidizing the thing that’s causing it.

No it's not. Only the snowflake wipe my ass for me generation. Yea their mental health will suffer and I really don't care.

This is the kind of headline that makes me believe that the CBC won’t exist after the next change in government.

The lack of self awareness at your network is staggering.

Hey babe ..its conservatism that's going to save this country its institutions and on a grander scale the planet. The more illiberal you all become the better. Rest assured. I want you to save this tweet and read it every day.

I haven't noticed a difference, so all is good between the ears for me.

That's a load of garbage
