Psychiatrists in Australia have uncovered what they’re referring to as a “previously unreported phenomenon” called “climate change delusion.”

“A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood . . . He also . . . had visions of apocalyptic events.”

“The patient had also developed the belief that, due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies.”

That sounds an awful lot like something Al Gore may be experiencing. His rhetoric on global warming gets more outrageous and more extreme by the month.
