Climate change ‘exacerbating’ mental health crisis

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Shame on the Telegraph for publishing this rubbish:

Climate change is fuelling Britain’s mental health crisis, according to the UK Health Security Agency, amid a crunch in the jobs market with millions of working-age adults off sick.

Extreme weather including heatwaves and floods is directly harming people’s health, while the sustained threat of a worsening climate is increasing “psychological distress” on the population, the agency warned.

It is compiling a report on the links between climate change and mental health, as well as the groups most at risk and potential interventions to ease the impact.

The agency has launched a call for evidence, seeking proposals on ways to support sufferers.

The UK Health Security Agency replaced Public Health England in 2021 as the government body responsible for protecting the health of the British public.

The NHS is under growing strain from the increasing demand for mental health services, while the economy is also suffering severely as widespread health problems keep a growing number of adults off work.

Should Tim Wallace really still be the Deputy Economics Editor when he writes such balderdash?
