On this Tuesday’s ABC News Live (part of ABC’s streaming service), chief meteorologist and chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee worked to legitimize so-called “Eco Anxiety” as a burgeoning mental illness. Touching upon the weather from this past weekend which left areas of the country with notable damage, ABC chose to view the situation through the lens of Climate Change focusing instead on the stress and anxieties of those who fear the so-called issue.

To top off the story, which in truth seemed more like a plight to worry the general public more than properly inform them, anchor Diane Macedo concluded the segment by listing the suicide and crisis hotline, equating the stress over the climate with such serious issues which the hotline was originally intended.

Unsurprisingly, Macedo attested the weather from this past weekend to Climate Change and without truly explaining the destruction of such events as a tornado and major hail storm. She instead turned the story over to Ginger Zee, who proceeded to introduce a fairly new problem sweeping the country: “Eco Anxiety.”
