In this article, Australian and New Zealand psychiatrists don’t connect the last couple of dots by actually saying that global warming fear is an obsessive compulsive disorder in its own right; so I am doing it for them. How many of those suffering from this disorder are employed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, I wonder?

A recent study has found that global warming has impacted the nature of symptoms experienced by obsessive compulsive disorder patients.

Climate change related obsessions and/or compulsions were identified in 28% of patients presenting with obsessive compulsive disorder. Their obsessions included leaving taps on and wasting water, leaving lights on and wasting electricity, pets dying of thirst, leaving the stove on and wasting gas as well as obsessions that global warming had contributed to house floors cracking, pipes leaking, roof problems and white ants eating the house.
