Mental Illness a direct result of Climate Fears!

The New Scientist Environment Blog recently reported on the worldwide neo-con response to a poor lad's diagnosed illness: http://www.newscientist.com/blog/environment/2008/07/patient-suffered-from-climate-change.html?DCMP=ILC-hmts&nsref=specrt16_head_Climate%20

A worthwhile read, especially the New Scientist's conclusion: "Of course, this case might just illustrate something that climate change deniers may be anxious to deny: in many parts of the world, concerns about climate change are no longer limited to a small group of professionals, but are a societal concern that is widespread enough to become part of 17-year-old's delusions."

Kaboom: The longer we fail to act to reduce our carbon pollution to zero, the more cases of consequent mental illness will afflict humanity.

The time to act is now!
