An essential guide to living in – and beyond – the climate endgame.
Most experts still claim we are in a phase of climate prevention. Even those of us who accept the reality of climate change cling to the hope that bold political action or a scientific breakthrough will turn the tide. But what if it’s already too late?
In The climate endgame, Mikkel Krause Frantzen argues that there is no winning strategy for a ‘green’ future. But instead of giving in to despair, we need to accept our situation and renew our commitment to the fight. The world of tomorrow will require new ways of living, and at the heart of them must be care – a radical practice not just of survival but also of resistance.
Taking a bold, new approach to the climate crisis, The climate endgame shows that utopian thinking is never more important than when it is too late, and offers a compelling intellectual map for navigating collapse.
