An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity

Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen confront the ecological and social crises shaping humanity’s future, arguing that survival depends on contraction rather than expansion. They explore how geographic determinism has influenced history, leading to social injustice, consumerism, and high-energy dystopias. The authors propose a realistic, collective path forward, grounded in secular interpretations of theological concepts, to navigate the crisis and reconnect with the living world.
