> The last two items of your list are interesting. I’ve seen people exhibit all the previous items but I’ve never seen anyone exhibit the last two of your list. I heard the first one on the radio, it was in a debate/show about eco-anxiety. The second one I read it first on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36618428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36618428: > > > How about the psychological damage done by the fear mongering caused by these type of news regarding climate change? > > What about it? > You're not concerned about how having such a large percentage of population becoming basically useless due to psychological problems can trouble the future of mankind? > > I have however seen many people (online) state a “doomer” or an “optimist” view that goes like this: > > “Climate change is real but there’s nothing we can do about it” > > “Climate change is real but it’s being handled so we don’t need to worry about it” > I think those two would better fit your list of “stages of climate change denial” Ah, nice addition.
