Climate Dysmorphia Series

Abstract

Climate Dysmorphia is a basis that identifies human environmental solutions for natural ecosystems that result in systemic problems negatively impacting environmental continuity. While much of identifying environmental impact focuses on Climate Change, the significance of examining what determines Climate Dysmorphia investigates the prevention of natural climate corrections through human practices meant to improve ecological sustainability. Climate Dysmorphia can also result from climate distortion, misstating climate data to create a reviewed narrative for implementing climate policy based on ideology(Hager, 2010), exaggerating ecological investigations to validate commercial and financial support for more extraordinary sustainability claims (Kolinjivadi, 2022).    Introduction Climate Dysmorphia is based on the medical term Body Dysmorphia, defined as a mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined. However, the person may spend hours a day trying to fix it (Bjornsson, Didie, et al., 2010). Climate Dysmorphia identifies the obsession with creating a solution that supersedes the earth's natural ability to resolve ecological imbalances. The earth undergoes evolving ecological adjustments resulting from climate change (Mahajan et al., 2020). However, the dismissal of earth's natural ability to resolve ecological disruptions becomes nullified by industrial and communal adjustments presented as green solutions. Ultimately, Climate Dysmorphia is resolvable if society better understands the earth's complexity and ever-changing, natural ability to adjust.   Discussion During the publishing of climate change research in the 19th Century (Thompson, 2019), much carbon usage during the industrial age showed signs of alterations in air quality and production pollution's effect on the earth. Researchers would take over 100 years to consider non-peer-reviewed, poorly documented discoveries by indigenous, urban, and rural communities' complaints of non-carbon-related ecological disasters caused by climate change policy decisions, initially developed to more sustainable ecosystems (Brigham, Do Vale et al., 2021). This awareness, paired with environmental activism presented to the public, allows societies to be more aware of how they contribute to climate disruption and how companies and state legislatures are responsible for ensuring public safety during infrastructure development and improvements. The problem, climate activism, became an ideological fight of cultural priority versus resolutions to resolve environmental issues that inherently affect more than racial, political, and sustainable needs (Nowshin, 2020).   Conclusion The Climate Distortion Series reviews future research that involves the impact of water dams, adverse effects on ecological systems, debated methods of environmental justice and if those decisions help or hinder equitable results, review of environmental differences with landscapes pre-industrial and during the impact of current green initiatives.
