Abstract

Whether global warming is a recent event or an ongoing process is a debate. The prediction that there would be a serious catastrophe, with rise in earth temperature is fact or fiction, is still uncertain. As a result, media portrayal of the political events, political upheavals, new taxes etc adds significant uncertainty and stress on human beings and could predispose to mental illness is just a theory. We would like to explore this theory with facts or evidence via literature search and present the findings in our poster.
