Climate Crisis
Let's rewrite the ending of this story: From climate crisis to climate solution.
Climate Crisis
One of the most affecting myths of clock time is that we all experience time at the same steady pace. We don’t. “The future is already here,” the science-fiction author William Gibson famously said in 2003, “it’s just not very evenly distributed.” And framing the climate crisis as a ticking clock with only a certain amount of time “to avoid disaste

One of the major lessons we learn from the unique complexity of life is the following: the only thing we can always expect when manipulating the living world is that there will be unexpected consequences. By definition, those consequences are rarely aligned with the initial goal of our intervention. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and our curren... See more

Analyzing the language we use to describe climate change is particularly urgent, according to Dr. Stibbe, as our words directly influence how we tackle it. For example, the neutral-sounding term “anthropogenic climate change” collapses human responsibility for the climate crisis into a neat, innocuous noun. “There’s no actual agents doing anything,

Humanity is at a crossroads, will we be hoarders or healers? There is every reason to argue that history proves either. System Change is needed to find our way to another way of living that is not fed by exploitation of each other and the ecology. The change needed is not in any of the institutions, for surely they are interdependent, the change is... See more

"Reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid." (Aldous Huxley)
"Every day, people are using the fossil fuel equivalent of all [now nearly twice] the plant matter that grows on land and in the oceans over the course of a whole year," ecologist Jeff Dukes explained.
In another calculation, Dukes determined that "the amount of plants that went into the fossil fuels we burned since the Industrial Rev
