climate fatigue
Eco-concern burnout
Climate fatigue is the exhaustion or emotional numbness that comes from constant exposure to dire warnings about environmental collapse.
The term captures a kind of overwhelmed disengagement—people stop responding to climate news not because they doubt it, but because sustained alarm is unsustainable: Climate fatigue has set in; another report on rising sea levels barely registers anymore.
