You've got to be kidding me...

Along with the cry rooms, bean bag chairs, and safe spaces needed to shelter college students from the vagaries of real life, there is also apparently a need for climate counselors. Yes, you heard that right: college students need help emotionally coping with climate change.

In a story in the Washington Post, “eco-anxiety,” also known as “climate distress” or “climate stress,” is an actual thing. Sarah Stoeckl, who is, incidentally, the director of the Sustainability Office at the University of Oregon, believes that in order to enable young people to fight climate change, they also need to be provided with emotional support. She wants more of the school’s resources to address the problem, including access to counselors.-

Society cannot survive the cowardice of the youth. They are afraid of the phantoms of their own artifice.
