Climate Change for Young People: The Antidote to Eco-anxiety

David Stark wrote a book about climate change and energy policy because he couldn't find one that wasn't patronizing and alarmist. He believes eco-anxiety has spread due to the lack of rational and informed debate, and this guide aims to start a debate and healing process. It discusses the different arguments heard in documentaries and news reports and breaks them down with facts and empirical scientific evidence, questioning whether they are the cause for panic and whether the proposed solutions will actually help.

David Stark couldn't find a book that explained climate change and related energy policy in appropriate detail without being patronizing and alarmist, so he wrote one himself after seven years of research. He believes that the contagion circulating through young people of the 21st century, eco-anxiety, has spread because the agenda was set by activism, where rational and informed debate is precluded. With this comprehensive but entirely accessible guide to climate change, debate, and the healing process, we can all begin to understand why efforts to date to 'save the planet' have hurt the economies of Western democracies and placed our energy and manufacturing security in the hands of autocracies.

This book discusses the different arguments that are often heard in documentaries and news reports but breaks them down with facts and empirical scientific evidence, cutting through the hyperbole to see whether they are actually the cause for panic that we've been told they are and whether the solutions being proposed will really help. The current energy crisis suggests that the cure is worse than the disease.
