| Book Description | Why is there so much anxiety about climate change? Is the world really coming to an end? Should young people be afraid? In an era of remarkable human achievement, this book challenges the prevailing narrative of doom surrounding climate change. It argues that while young people in the West grapple with anxiety, many others around the globe face far more pressing concerns. This provocative exploration shows how wealth, innovation, and resilience have historically led to human flourishing, even amidst environmental changes. The book dismantles myths of impending catastrophe and advocates for a rational approach to adaptation instead of fear-driven policies.ContentIntroduction: The End of the World - Ian Plimer1 The Epidemic of Climate Anxiety - Tony Thomas2 The Best of Times And Yet The End is Nigh - Ian Plimer3 Climate change and the National Curriculum - John Roskam and Colleen Harkin4 Spend Your Fear Wisely - Ben Beattie5 Just Stop Protesting - Mark Lawson6 Climate Change and Youthful Thinking - Emilia Wenster7 On Averting Apocalypse: The Climate Counter-Enlightenment - Peter Kurti8 Therapeutic Culture and Eco Anxiety - Tanveer Ahmed |
