How many will we driven to suicide by the constant doom and gloom global warming predicitons.?

I am not talking about climate science or information. People need to be informed.

All the people running around talking out of their 7th planet, about how we are all going to die.

Update:

I guess this explains the popularity of horror movies.

    Probably many fewer than will be caused by the frustration of dealing with those who deny the reality of AGW/CC.

    Sorry not sure what "predicitons" are, if you mean predictions then the actually doom and gloom end of the world ones seem to have a similar source to many deniers claims 'blogs'

    They have about the same level of credibility as 2012 nonsense or the equally silly 'return of planet Nibiru, in other words, none.

    "...All the people running around talking out of their 7th planet." Good one, it took me a minute to figure that out.

    I think if you do a search, suicide increases will not be blamed on the alarmism of global warming but but rather the actual warming itself. I'm pretty sure if you proposed a scientific study to prove that, the Brinks Truck would be at your door the next day. Would you expect any different?

    On the foot, I seem to recall studies that claimed global warming denial was some sort of mental disorder. It seems like science is just a game these days.

    Once all the glaciers have melted and the major rivers of the world have disappeared, many of the world's poorest will starve to death.

    Many richer people will kill themselves when they lose their family and possessions to the coming floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

    Suicide rarely has to to with what other people say or predict about the weather (and climate).

    Seems Al Gore didn't seem too concerned with his dire warning od imminent sea level rises when he bought his beach front mansion South of SF.

    It is all hype to place more regulation on peoples lives.

    We get scare tactics all the time from people who depend on public sources of funding in order to keep the money rolling in.

    If the alarmists end up scaring themselves that bad, perhaps it might be beneficial.
