Professor Jam Bendell’s paper, “Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy,” after extensive examination of the most recent research, concluded that “collapse is inevitable.” His paper was refused publication because such a conclusion was “irresponsible.” Bendell has instead made his paper freely available to everyone. He argues that the inevitability of collapse now makes business as usual–even the business of trying to mitigate the many dimensions of climate change–is no longer what is essential. Rather, what is essential is what we do, individually and collectively, about the consequences of collapse. There is essentially no literature on this reality, a reality denied at all levels.
