For all that's ever been said about climate change,
3
we haven't heard nearly enough about the psychological impacts of living in a warming world.
4
If you've heard the grim climate research that science communicators like me weave into our books and documentaries,
5
you've probably felt bouts of fear, fatalism or hopelessness.
6
If you've been impacted by climate disaster,
7
these feelings can set in much deeper,
8
leading to shock, trauma, strange relationships,
9
substance abuse and the loss of personal identity and control.
10
Vital political and technological work is underway to moderate our climate chaos,
11
but I'm here to evoke a feeling in you for why we also need our actions
12
and policies to reflect an understanding of how our changing environments threaten our mental,
13
social and spiritual well-being.
14
The anxiety, grief and depression of climate scientists and activists have been reported on for years.
15
Trends are seen after extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy or Katrina for increased PTSD and suicidality.
16
And there are rich mental health data from northern communities where warming is the fastest,
17
like the Inuit and Labrador,
18
who face existential distress as they witness the ice,
19
a big part of their identity, vanishing before their eyes.
20
Now, if that weren't enough,
21
the American Psychological Association says that our psychological responses to climate change,
22
like conflict avoidance, helplessness and resignation, are growing.
23
This means that our conscious
24
and unconscious mental processes are holding us back from identifying the causes of the problem for what they are,
25
working on solutions and fostering our own psychological resilience.
26
But we need all those things to take on what we've created.
27
Lately, I've been studying a phenomenon that's just one example of the emotional hardships that we're seeing,
28
and it comes in the form of a question that a significant amount of people in my generation are struggling to answer.
29
That being, should I have a child in the age of climate change?
30
After all, any child born today will have to live in a world where hurricanes,
31
flooding, wildfires, what we used to call natural disasters, have become commonplace.
32
The hottest 20 years on record occurred within the last 22.
33
The UN expects that two-thirds of the global population may face water shortages only six years from now.
34
The World Bank predicts that by 2050,
35
there's going to be 140 million climate refugees in sub-Saharan Africa,
36
Latin America and South Asia,
37
and other estimates put that number at over one billion.
38
Mass migrations and resource scarcity increase the risk for violence,
39
war and political instability.
40
The UN just reported that we are pushing up to a million species to extinction,
41
many within decades, and our emissions are still increasing even after the Paris Agreement.
42
Over the last year and a half,
43
I've been conducting workshops and interviews with hundreds of people about parenting in the climate crisis.
44
And I can tell you that people who are worried about having kids
45
because of climate change are not motivated by an ascetic pride.
46
They're nerve-wracked.
47
There's even a movement called BirthStrike whose members have declared
48
that they're not going to have kids
49
because of the state of the ecological crisis and inaction from governments to address this existential threat.
50
And yes, other generations have also faced their own apocalyptic dangers,
51
but that is no reason to disregard the very real threat to our survival now.
52
Some feel that it's better to adopt children,
53
or that it's unethical to have more than one,
54
especially three, four or more,
55
because kids increase greenhouse gas emissions.
56
Now, it is a really unfortunate state of affairs when people who want kids sacrifice the right to,
57
because somehow they have been told that their lifestyle choices are to blame,
58
when the fault is far more systemic.
59
But let's just unpack the logic here.
60
So an off-sighted study shows that,
61
on average, having one less child in an industrialized nation can save about 59 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
62
While in comparison, living car-free saves nearly two and a half tons,
63
avoiding a transatlantic flight, and this is just one,
64
saves about one and a half tons,
65
and eating a plant-based diet can save almost one ton per year.
66
And consider that a Bangladeshi child only adds 56 metric tons of carbon to their parents' carbon legacy over their lifetime,
67
while an American child, in comparison, adds 9,441 to theirs.
68
So this is why some people argue
69
that it's parents from nations with huge carbon footprints who should think the hardest about how many kids they have.
70
But the decision to have a child
71
and one's feelings about the future are deeply personal and wrapped up in all sorts of cultural norms,
72
religious beliefs, socioeconomic status, education levels and more.
73
And so to some, this debate about kids in the climate crisis can seem like it came from another planet.
74
Many have more immediate threats to their survival to think about,
75
how they're going to put food on the table when they're a single mom working three jobs,
76
or they're HIV positive, or they're on the move in a migrant caravan.
77
Tragically, though, climate change is really great at intersectionality.
78
It multiplies the stresses that marginalized communities already face.
79
A political scientist once said to me that a leading indicator that climate change is starting to hit home,
80
psychologically, would be an increase in the rate of informed women deciding to not have children.
81
Interesting.
82
Is it hitting home with you psychologically?
83
Are you perhaps someone with climate-linked pre-traumatic stress?
84
A climate psychiatrist coined that term,
85
and that's a profession now,
86
by the way, shrinks for climate woes.
87
They're getting work at a time
88
when some high schoolers don't want to apply to university any longer because they can't foresee a future for themselves.
89
And this brings me back to my main point.
90
The growing concern about having kids in the climate crisis is an urgent indicator of how hard-pressed people are feeling.
91
Right now, students around the world are screaming for change in the piercing voice of despair.
92
And the fact that we can see how we contribute to this problem that makes us feel unsafe is crazy-making in itself.
93
Climate change is all-encompassing, and so are the ways that it messes with our minds.
94
Many activists will tell you that the best antidote to grief is activism.
95
And some psychologists will tell you the answer can be found in therapy.
96
Others believe the key is to imagine The teachers believe the key is to imagine you're on your deathbed,
97
reflecting back on what's mattered the most in your life
98
so you can identify what you should do more of now with the time that you have left.
99
We need all these ideas and more
100
to take care of our innermost selves as the environments we've known become more punishing towards us.
101
And whether you have children or not,
102
we need to be honest about what is happening and what we owe one another.
103
We cannot afford to treat the psychological impacts of climate change
104
because the other issues of science and technology and the politics and economy feel hard,
105
while this somehow feels soft.
106
Mental health needs to be an integral part of any climate change survival strategy,
107
requiring funding and ethics of equity and care and widespread awareness.
108
Because even if you're the most emotionally avoidant person on the planet,
109
there's no rug in the world that's big enough to sweep this up under.
110
Thank you.

Thank you.

문맥 및 배경

기후 변화에 대한 논의는 환경적 요소에 국한되는 경우가 많지만, 이를 둘러싼 심리적 영향을 간과하는 경우가 많습니다. 브릿 웨이는 기후 변화가 개인의 정신 건강에 미치는 영향을 심도 있게 탐구하며, 기후의 변화가 어떻게 우리의 두려움, 무력감 및 우울증을 유발하는지를 설명합니다. 특히, 이러한 기후 위기가 사람들의 정체성에 미치는 영향과 함께 기후 재난이 정신적 충격을 초래할 수 있다는 점을 강조합니다.

일상적인 의사소통을 위한 주요 5가지 표현

  • 기후 변화는 우리의 삶에 많은 영향을 미칩니다.
  • 심리적 반응으로는 무력감이 있습니다.
  • 기후 위기로 인한 정신 건강 문제는 심각합니다.
  • 우리는 상황을 바꿀 방법을 찾아야 합니다.
  • 새로운 세대의 부모는 기후 변화 시대에 아이를 낳을지에 대해 고민하고 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
