Melanie Shannon and Melinee Leather say they now feel empowered to 'survive these traumatic times'.

The Longreach-based grazier and chair of Outback Futures, a not-for-profit mental health support organisation, said keeping strong community connections was vital during tough times, such as drought."We've just had eight to 10 years of drought. How much more challenging can you get?"

He said the geographical and social isolation of living in the outback was sometimes crippling for landowners."And it's even tougher when you feel like you're doing it on your own."The potential impacts of climate change on the health sector are much wider than mental health. "The increased frequency and intensity of climate extremes have resulted in disrupted health and social services and internal population displacement," the report said.

Indigenous communities have also been disproportionately affected by the negative health consequences of climate change, even though "the contribution of these communities to greenhouse gas emissions has been minimal"."Climate change represents the greatest public health issue of the century and the greatest challenge for health systems," Dr Sleeman said.

"We have this increased illness in the community because of the rising temperatures, and we have an increased load on the health system, really much like COVID."

Climate change nerves, because of the constant climate cult misinformation propagated by their ABC.

Whack jobs.

Climate change anxiety is indeed a mental illness

The the racism word like the climate change words have been made meaningless by ABC

They're only as traumatic as you allow the climate alarmists to make them. Many things are going on and climate change is nowhere near the top of the list.
