Climate Change and Mental Health: A Conversation With Paul Kirk

Solastalgia: a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change.
The rate of mental health issues in young people is rising with the sea levels. Though we've known for years that social media has drastic impacts on the mental health of young people, the research on climate-related mental health issues is comparatively scarce. Only recently have scientists created terms like "climate-anxiety," "eco-grief," and "solastalgia" to describe the anguish our generation feels as we bear the burden of the climate crisis. Is there an antidote to the psychological consequences of climate change? Listen in to my hopeful and insightful conversation with Mr. Paul Kirk, an educator, environmentalist, and outdoorsman, to find out.

Maybe you can figure out how two out of these three issues impact each other, but understanding how they're all related is a little less intuitive.

But I promise it'll make sense! Plus, at the nexus of this multidirectional tangle of impacts, we explore a solution that almost seems too good to be true: urban food forestry.

I interviewed dozens of teens at my high school about their opinions and emotions surrounding the climate crisis. The audio clips you’re about to hear are diverse and polarizing–I featured many students whose perspectives align with mine, and others whom I fundamentally disagree with. However, the most common response I recieved was unexpected--and its frequency tells an important story in and of itself...Anyway, without further ado, here are the voices of Gen Z-ers contemplating the climate crisis.

Warning: This episode will make you question the very nature of reality...or at least, the reality of nature. Everything you knew about the "honey bee crisis" is false. According to Dr. Nick Dorian, honey bees don't need saving--and they aren't the heroes we make them out to be. Flying under the radar are 4,000 other bee species that desperately need our help. In return, they can help us mitigate climate change and food insecurity. Listen in for a revelatory and utterly captivating conversation with pollinator expert, Dr. Nick Dorian. Prepare to BEE amazed!
Dr. Dorian is a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University where he studies the population ecology of cellophane bees. He also delivered a recent TEDx Talk, and co-developed watchingbees.com, a wild bee identification site.
