I keep trying to come up with something to say about this article but words fail me right now, my brain is too numb. But WOW it's a load of crap
From the former Scientific American
One year ago, I published a book called A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety. Since its publication, I have been struck by the fact that those responding to the concept of climate anxiety are overwhelmingly white. Indeed, these climate anxiety circles are even whiter than the environmental circles I’ve been in for decades. Today, a year into the pandemic, after the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, I am deeply concerned about the racial implications of climate anxiety. If people of color are more concerned about climate change than white people, why is the interest in climate anxiety so white? Is climate anxiety a form of white fragility or even racial anxiety? Put another way, is climate anxiety just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of life or get “back to normal,” to the comforts of their privilege?
The white response to climate change is literally suffocating to people of color. Climate anxiety can operate like white fragility, sucking up all the oxygen in the room and devoting resources toward appeasing the dominant group. As climate refugees are framed as a climate security threat, will the climate-anxious recognize their role in displacing people from around the globe? Will they be able to see their own fates tied to the fates of the dispossessed? Or will they hoard resources, limit the rights of the most affected and seek to save only their own, deluded that this xenophobic strategy will save them? How can we make sure that climate anxiety is harnessed for climate justice?
Climate Anxiety Is an Overwhelmingly White Phenomenon
Is it really just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of life or to get “back to normal?”

Or maybe it's proof that people of color are smarter than people of no (all) color(s), which means they're smart enough to not give a rat's patootie about your so-called "climate anxiety."

It isn't "white" response. It is white liberals/leftists. And not everyone agrees with them especially as they want to use it to make the lives of lower middle class people worse.

And not any different than anything else these bozos do. Just like, when Priuses came out, getting rid of perfectly good new cars so they could be seen in a Prius, but not in a Honda Accord with the same technology, because the hybrid Accord looked just like the gasoline Accord. It's all about woke showboating.

The quintessential white liberal.

I note that she uses "latinx" unironically.
I wonder what they pay her.

Until this very moment, I had never heard the phrase 'climate anxiety' and had to Google it.

I sometimes have anxiety about things, but race, climate, and environment don’t even reach my top 100.

Yeah, what the heck is it?

Something pale liberals have.

I just assumed it is people who think we are rapidly destroying the world by not passing climate control regulations (even though those regulations will have no positive impact

If these idiots would just go hug a tree or kiss a dolphin, their anxieties would be relieved and they wouldn't have to bother the rest of us with them.

There is no "science" in that article.
Who owns the magazine? You have to wonder at the systemic racism in most media today and who is orchestrating it. It IS a concerted effort to deride people because of the color of their skin. Currently focused on "white". If you wrote the same pieces but changed the color, it would be an outrage, as per current SJW NWO globalist commie pRoToCol.

White fragility = seeing and acknowledging that the values, culture and nations of white Europeans are being targeted by leftists for takeover and demographic replacement.
