# Climate Crisis Part 1: Reading **Published by:** [Continuations](https://continuations.com/) **Published on:** 2019-07-29 **Categories:** climate crisis **URL:** https://continuations.com/climate-crisis-part-1-reading ## Content I no longer say “climate change” – instead I now call it what it is, the “climate crisis.” If you don’t think it is a crisis, I recommend the following readings. http://www.lifeworth.com/deepadaptation.pdf https://www.pnas.org/content/115/33/8252 Both papers – in very different ways – make the same argument: we are on a runaway trajectory now. We are already in a crisis that renders nearly everything else a rounding error. If left unchecked, the climate crisis will rapidly destroy the underpinnings of modern civilization. I am keeping this post intentionally short. Go read the papers instead. More later this week. ## Publication Information - [Continuations](https://continuations.com/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://continuations.com/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@continuations): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/albertwenger): Follow on Twitter ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://continuations.com/climate-crisis-part-1-reading): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://continuations.com/climate-crisis-part-1-reading/collectors): See who has collected this post
