Planetarians of the world, we invite you to dive into the language of the #Polycrisis to find out what the terms that define it really mean. Herb Simmens’ book, A Climate Vocabulary of the Future, is not only a serious clarification of these often confusing new concepts, but also a humorous and creative unveiling of our human folly and its present day consequences.
Kim Stanley Robinson described this very useful reference book as
“A wonderful achievement, a science poem, an inspiration , a prophecy, also hilarious”
Herb invites collaboration and feedback, so if you want to comment or have a new term that you'd like to offer for inclusion in the next edition, you're welcome to email him at ClimateVocabulary@gmail.com
