To say that climate collapse was yesterday is a provocate statement which sounds either like climate denialism or climate fatalism. However, the way I mean it, it is neither. What I mean is, catastrophic climate warming is locked in (just read the scientific communications of James Hansen, here). Existing warming and warming in the pipeline guarantee severe societal disruption over the coming decades, at the very least. That doesnt mean we shouldnt reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as much as possible, right now. It doesnt mean we shouldn`t repair damaged ecosystems. It does mean we should have a sober assessment of possible future scenarios in our own lives and those we are connected to, and put strategies in place, ideally, which could deal with many of these scenarios equally.
Meanwhile, please take a look at the anthology I edited for Arkbound: Climate Collapse? -Calls to Action from Around the World. This anthology features many diverse voices on the subjects of the climate crisis, the related global ecological crisis, and the societal collapse induced by these crises. It might not be quite appropriate for me to end with the imperative, Enjoy!
