The fear of climate change and other environmental phenomena, or more specifically, “the feeing of powerlessness to prevent cataclysmic environmental change”. An ecophobic person is likely to have feelings of great anxiety or helplessness about the future. They are possibly also human fatalists, believing that humanity is bringing about the destruction of itself and the planet and that nothing can be done to prevent it. While many people today are rightfully worried about the effects of human intervention on the earth’s climate, some ecophobic people take an even more pessimistic view, and believe that the extinction of mankind itself is necessary to save the planet. This is a controversial view, and not held by most people who feel anxiety about climate change.
If you feel a general sense of helplessness and fatalism when you contemplate the future in humanity’s struggle against climate change, it may be a sign that you have ecophobia
