I have heard of many strange psychological conditions, but this is a new one. It makes me realize that psychological conditions can evolve based on new pressures form world problems and changes in society in general. I know this is a deep subject but it was interesting to me.
I'm thinking that if we are aware of this, maybe we can avoid this new psychosis. Just don't feel guilty when you hammer your bike and use more gas! Or you modify your car for more performance. Use that gas without guilt my brothers! Acceleration cures psychosis!

The Article

Several psychotherapists told The New York Times in February that treatments are being developed for people who are excessively worried about their own carbon emissions being responsible for "global warming." More than 120 therapists are now listed as specialists in the field on Ecopsychology.org, and schools such as Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., have created courses on counseling such patients.
