The term for this mental disease is eco-anxiety.
Since I know a few people who seem to suffer from this, I did a quick search on the internet to see if there was any worthwhile advice out there.
What I found was not particularly soothing. All the articles started out by saying that climate change is man made and serious, which is hardly a good starting point when dealing with an exaggerated fear. Then they went on to suggest direct action through political engagement, volunteer work and donations.
The advice given was similar to the advice once given to people suffering from hell-anxiety. Go to mass, congregate, and pay indulgences. Eco-hell is clearly the new fire and brimstone, and people are scared witless.
