On the Eve of 2050: The Body, the Psyche, the Anthropocene

“The health, economic, political, and environmental implications of climate change affect all of us. […] They induce stress, depression, and anxiety; strain social and community relationships; and have been linked to increases in aggression, violence, and crime. […] Natural disaster occurrences previously considered once-in-a-lifetime events will increase in severity and regularity. Incidences of bacterial diseases such as salmonella and cholera will increase, and zoonotic diseases like Lyme disease and malaria will likely become more common as the range of their carriers (ticks and mosquitos) grows wider.”
