Scientists in the UK have established that climate change can have a very negative impact on the human psyche. They made an appeal to people to move to places with a more favorable environment.
However, such a recommendation does not always end well. The vast majority of the British have a dream of living in a spacious house outside the city. In which they would settle with their children, and raise greens and livestock, while breathing clean air.
Heather Shepard, at the age of 50, believed the dream had come true. He, tired of the bustle of the city, managed to move from London to the countryside with his entire large family.
The village where he began to build his own farm is located in Shropshire, not far from Shrewsbury. It is home to only 70 people who know each other very well. For many years they worked together to create a farm. But their plans were destroyed by nature.
According to Heather, the work was already coming to an end, but then there was a flood that destroyed everything. At the same time, the consequences of the disaster were not only physical and economic losses that the village suffered. The psychological state of its inhabitants was severely broken.
It is no coincidence that scientists believe that natural disasters such as a flood, storm or tsunami can have a very strong, sometimes incurable, effect on a person's mental state. People caught in such cataclysms are specialists at risk.
