By Sam Ben-Meir, published 12/1/2026

The danger of climate change isn’t sudden collapse but smooth continuity. When catastrophe feels normal, responsibility quietly disappears.

The problem of categorising the "climate change crisis" is easily solved. Stop calling it a crisis. Because it isn't one. Escalating the dangers of climate change and the associated fears were entirely predictable and natural consequences of humans simply recognising that their actions can and do change atmospheric properties and weather. It's clearly a frightening scientific discovery. The changes themselves need not be frightening at all. As it happens, they aren't. And peoples who haven't heard they should be frightened by climate change generally aren't. On the other hand, the prospect of living without fossil fuels is truly alarming. That's when things will hit the fan.
