The article looks like an Over educated and over rated Idiot looking for a problem to Whine about ... and going out of his way to take a non-existant issue and make a major problem out it, while over looking the reality of so many other real problems that will destroy the nation in the Long run

At first, the Saber Tooth Tigers ate them, later they just stayed in a room and starved themselves to death or chose some other method.. Today, they write about it

Lol, call it a generalized anxiety disorder. Without the actual trauma it is just a reaction to a random variable. In math there is a law for probability that essentially states a lot more can happen than will happen. Plan for a few of the most likely scenarios and be adaptable.

Pre-Traumatic Stress used to be called nervous. I sat with my Grandsons and watched Saturday morning kids shows for a couple of hours. I thumbed through the channels and noted that every show, which covered a variety of subjects, still mentioned climate change as a causation reference at least once. They need to leave the kids alone.
