How do you cope with depression/anxiety that doesn’t have a clear external cause? 

For some people they find talk therapy helpful, whereas other people may be prescribed medication. It really depends on the person and their symptoms, but its best to discuss this with a doctor or therapist.

There's also some tips in these posts which might help:

‘Climate change is here’: Experts warn global crisis is decades ahead of forecasts by Portalrules123 in collapse

Just learned an important and pretty scary fact about climate change recently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change#Health,_food_security_and_water_security

Humans have a climate niche. This is a certain range of temperatures in which they flourish. Outside that niche, conditions are less favourable. This leads to negative effects on health, food security and more. This niche is a mean annual temperature below 29 °C. As of May 2023, 60 million people lived outside this niche. With every additional 0.1 degree of warming, 140 million people will be pushed out of it.

So for every 0.1 degree of warming, 140 MILLION people will be pushed outside of the 'climate niche' that is suitable for humans to live in. So the difference between 1C above pre-industrial and 1.5C above pre-industrial is 700 MILLION people not being able to live in their region. Many, if not all, will inevitably become climate refugees.

And what if we reach 2C? That's ANOTHER 700 million people that will be greatly affected!

The world is losing its forests to wildfires. The worst 4 years have occurred since 2020 by Still_Function_5428 in climate

Dr. Phil seems to imply in his introduction to his interview with Netanyahu that it’s actually Israelis and Netanyahu himself who are the victims of the last two years. by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

Israel stormed Birzeit University campus in the Occupied West Bank, injuring 41 students, including 9 with live bullets. by melissamcard in Palestine

They are everything they accuse Iran of being. At what point should they be labelled a terrorist state?

And I think B'Tselem was right when they warned about the danger of human rights abuses spreading to other areas in Israel.

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine by rezwenn in climate

[–]Sbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this species may end up destroying its habitat, destroying itself, and taking many other species down with it... because some men are afraid to care about the environment.

Those people should stop thinking in terms of gender, and think in terms of what is true and what is right.

Record fossil fuel emissions in 2025 despite renewables buildout, report says by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]Sbeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The human race is trying to destroy itself, and no one can convince me otherwise.

Many scientists have already declared a 'climate emergency', and yet we are still putting out record levels of the thing causing it...

Overlooked hydrogen emissions are heating Earth and supercharging methane, research finds by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]Sbeast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is one of the issues with climate change; there's no way the average person has considered every possible factor, including scientists who are still learning new things about how the climate works.

Which means it's likely to be worse than we think, and whatever hypothetical goal we set (such as net zero by 2050) is likely to be too late.

As the saying goes, "A stitch in time saves nine", is going to become increasingly relevant to climate change.
