Vice President Kamala Harris is being roasted online for pushing an absurd climate agenda involving children’s mental health.
Speaking at the “Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference” in Miami Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, Harris voiced the concerns of young children dealing with “climate mental health” problems.

“One of the young leaders was talking to me about climate mental health. I said, ‘Tell me what’s going on with your peers,’” the vice president said. “Climate mental health.”
“I said, ‘I think I can understand that, but unpack it for me.’ And she talked about how her peers are thinking about it,” she continued.
Harris then cited a young woman who gave her an example to help her understand children’s mental struggle with climate change.
“One example is, you know, whether, when they’re ready, could they start a family — worried about what that would mean and the stress of it,” she said.
“They were talking about in terms of their peers trying to figure out, you know, they’re going to have to get a job and they’re gonna have to make a living — but what they can do and how can they adapt the education that they are having now to their activism?” Harris concluded.
As expected, Harris’ speech was mocked by netizens, with many pointing out the absurdity of the so-called “climate mental health.”
“’Climate mental health’? We are being led by some of the most fearful, neurotic, and narcissistic people in history. Pack animals typically put those types way in the back. In this country, that dysfunction is part of their appeal,” tweeted Heritage Foundation research fellow Delano Squire.
“Climate alarmism is mental health abuse of young people. Many of my students also expressed concern about having children because the alarmists have convinced them the planet is ending. This will be the lasting legacy of climate alarmism,” wrote Earth science professor Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki.
This comes amid a wave of climate protests involving defiling government properties that prompted an international outcry, with government officials and art experts condemning the practice and museums all over the world increasing security.
“[Vandalism] alienates many people we need to bring into the fold. People who are natural allies in the climate battle but will draw negative associations with climate advocacy and activism from such acts,” said University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann.
