Climate fear

Dr. Wielicki was alarmed at the fear which he saw in his university students. They were afraid that the world would be destroyed by climate change, even to the point of deciding not to have children.

So he explained to them that, in his view, the earth is not in that sort of danger.

"The narrative in the main stream media is doing so much damage to mental health. Climate anxiety is probably the number one anxiety issue for the students that I talk to. And the science does not support that fear. I think that fear is irrational."

And then he paid the price for dissenting from the favored narrative.
