- pdpi 8y agoWhat? Of course, worrying about _anything_ creates stress. But that's as far as it goes: Worrying about air pollution creates stress, but stress doesn't create more air pollution. Worrying about climate change doesn't make climate change worse. The problem is closing the loop — worrying about sleeplessness produces stress, which then goes on to make the sleep disorder even worse. Same with weight loss and emotional eating.

Its allowing the existing problem to escalate. >Worrying about climate change doesn't make climate change worse. If your quality of life is affected by climate change, worrying about it will reduce it further.
