Report: These Childless Cat Ladies Are Suffering from 'Climate Grief'

Group therapy sessions led by 'eco-chaplains' are increasingly popular in deranged left-wing enclaves

Science has firmly established that the vast majority of liberal white women are mentally unwell, but it is often difficult to comprehend the scale of the problem. A report this week from NPR reveals the extent to which so-called childless cat ladies in the deranged left-wing enclaves of these United States have ruined their lives by obsessing about things that don't matter, such as the environment:

TALENT, Ore.—When Diane Ware’s home state of Oregon proposed a natural gas pipeline that threatened local waterways, she sprang into action—leading workshops on lobbying state lawmakers, mentoring student activists and organizing lectures at her church.

But when plans for the pipeline were canceled, Ware, 78, found little pleasure in the victory. The retired elementary school teacher couldn’t shake the feeling that it may be too late to save a planet in deep peril—a prospect tinged with grief, anger and depression. Ware realized she had a case of "climate grief"—and needed help.

Ware is one of a growing number of people using the services of an eco-chaplain, a new kind of spiritual adviser rising among clergy trained in handling grief and other difficult emotions.

Many of the people described in the article are old white libs who have spent their entire lives being very concerned about climate change and feel like it's all been for nothing, which it has. Nevertheless, market forces have succeeded in reducing carbon emissions in the United States, but that's done nothing to prevent the onset of "climate grief," even in young liberal white women who are "frightened about the prospect of inheriting a planet beset by wildfires, floods and other cataclysmic effects of climate change."

These climate freaks have been seeking counsel from "eco-chaplains" who specialize in coddling the anxieties of liberals of all ages who consider themselves "spiritual" but not religious. The chaplains offer support in the form of one-on-one therapy, online "climate grief circles," and in-person support groups that typically involve Kleenex, homemade oatmeal raisin cookies, and a "color wheel with the names of hues replaced by emotions—fear, anger, loneliness and anxiety."

You'll be shocked to learn that one such group in Oregon, called Sustaining Climate Activists, formed in response to the 2016 election. "Trump’s election freaked everyone out," said Alan Journet, who co-founded the group with his wife. "Group members wanted a way to deal with fears and anxieties about climate and politics."

Indeed, Trump's election and the COVID-19 pandemic inflicted irreversible brain damage on millions of childless cat liberals who were already overwhelmed with anxiety about climate change or overpopulation and whatnot. We hope and pray they get the help they so desperately need.
