The Climate Crisis in Philosophy and Popular Culture

When it comes to our present-day climate, we know that we must act and for the most part how we must act, but routinely fail to act. In this all-hands-on-deck moment, in addition to COP-style inquiries, it may be worth contemplating others. In this spirit, we will look for what-is-to-be-done clues in the coordination of two distinct sorts of climate-crisis intervention, which have otherwise developed mostly independently over the years—scholarly and statutory interventions on the one hand, literary and cinematic ones on the other. We will work together to develop, that is, to paraphrase Charles Dickens, a tale of two bibliographies.
