Lennart Bengtsson, international climate researcher, has stated that the climate hysteria is exaggerated. Maximilian Krah, an AfD candidate for the EU elections, called Greta Thunbergs climate alarmism for a “psychosis”.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Connolly |first1=Kate |title=Germany’s AfD turns on Greta Thunberg as it embraces climate denial |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/14/germanys-afd-attacks-greta-thunberg-as-it-embraces-climate-denial |work=The Guardian |date=14 May 2019}}</ref> A Swedish book titled "Skärgård" form 2010 warned that climate hysteria threatened the welfare.<ref>{{cite book |title=Skärgård |date=2010 |publisher=Skärgårdsinstitutet vid Åbo Akademi |___location=University of California |pages=2-3 |url=https://books.google.se/books?id=AxxSAQAAMAAJ&q=klimathysteri&dq=klimathysteri&hl=sv&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjS6KLowfvjAhVyiYsKHa6IAh4Q6AEIKTAA |language=sv}}</ref> Swedish reporter Alrik Söderlin published an article in the MestMotor where he stated that "Sweden is in a climate psychosis".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Söderlind |first1=Alrik |title=Alrik Söderlind: "Sverige har hamnat i klimatpsykos" |url=https://www.mestmotor.se/automotorsport/artiklar/kronikor/20190408/alrik-soderlind-sverige-har-hamnat-i-klimatpsykos/ |accessdate=11 August 2019 |work=auto motor & sport |issue="Sweden has got into climate psychosis" |date=2019 |language=sv}}</ref> [[Bianca Muratagic]] published an article calling Swedens climate politics for a "Swedish psychosis" stating that the Swedish politicians used the climate debate to cover up more serious issues.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Janouch |first1=Katerina |title="Klimatpsykosen är till för att distrahera medborgarna från det kaos politikerna skapat" |url=http://katerinamagasin.se/klimatpsykosen-ar-till-att-distrahera-medborgarna-fran-det-kaos-politikerna-skapat/ |work=Katerina Magasin |issue="Climate psychosis is designed to distract citizens from the chaos politicians have created" |date=4 May 2019}}</ref> Klimatupplysningen, a Swedish climate-change skeptic movement, write in one of their articles that the climate change hysteria is used as an excuse to increase taxes.<ref>{{cite news |title="Det goda folket" |url=http://www.klimatupplysningen.se/2010/01/28/det-goda-folket/ |work=Stockholmsinitiativet - Klimatupplysningen |issue=These people, "the good people," live by being visible and building on their personal brands. Without the attention of these performances, crown princes and crown princesses would not be kings and queens and Bono would not make as much money on his artistry. Raising money for Haiti and exploiting the climate psychosis is simply a necessary activity to nurture the brand of "the good people". The problem now is that the climate wave seems to be able to grow into a "tsunami" that erases rather than builds up personal brands. So some caution with contradictory statements would probably be wise. |date=28 January 2010 |language=sv-SE}}</ref> Tomas Klasson published an article discussing a climate change conference where the Swedish forest fires was associated to a "pre-apocalyptic climate change psychosis".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Klason |first1=Tomas |title=A Confused Conference followed by paranoia and climate anxiety |date=2019 |publisher=Projekt27 |edition=The week after COFI, it started to burn in Sweden and it burned in almost one month. Sweden underwent something that most resembles a pre-acopalyptic climate psychosis. Chronicle after Chronicle sharpened his pencils in the struggle to write the most hit article about how we must act now, and even socializing went in clinch over sharing the same. I followed everything over the net. It became like an obsession, where I went from being annoyed at how people perceive this only now, to a sense of shame, when I first understood the week before. |url=https://www.projekt27.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/En-F%c3%b6rvirrad-Konferens-3-nytt-slut.pdf}}</ref> Columnist Madeleine Lilja Rönnquist of ProjektSanning wrote an article of "climate change hysteria".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Liljeqvist |first1=Madeleine |title=Hur mår egentligen Sverige?

In the past, everyone was somewhat knowledgeable that climate was a bigger issue than the weather. But now the hot summer in Sweden is being upgraded to a climate change. The climate threat advocates also take to chest tones over being called "climate alarmists". But people who call their opponents "climate deniers", though no one denies the existence of climate, have no right to be offended by words that are not even skymford, but a true descriptive cover. |date=28 August 2018 |language=sv-SE}}</ref> Gunnar Lundström of Skövde Nyheter stated that the climate hysteria in Sweden had completely gone out of control.<ref>{{cite news |title=Klimatfrågan har nått horribla höjder |url=https://www.skovdenyheter.se/article/klimatfragan-har-natt-horribla-hojder/ |work=Skövde Nyheter |issue=Now the climate hysteria has reached completely horrendous heights - schoolchildren strike at school for nothing to do with the climate!
