In the rising Pacific, residents are sounding alarm bells. And in Rhode Island, Kate Schapira and her husband are not having a baby. Fears about climate change are prompting worldwide action, but one knock-on effect in the United States is mounting anxiety about everything from plastics to class-based environmental disparities. For Lise Van Susteren, a Washington-based psychiatrist who has been studying the mental health impacts of climate change for 15 years, refusal to recognize the potential hazards is common for "people who are trying to deny that they too are vulnerable."

Los miedos acerca del calentamiento global, que alientan acciones y manifestaciones en todo el globo, han tenido en el país que figura entre los principales emisores de CO2 del planeta un efecto inesperado en la salud mental.
