Based on the tragedies occurring in the world today, it seems like we need some new words to give them a solid basis in our reality. I propose two: ecocaust to describe the ongoing decimation of species and habitats across the globe; climatastrophe to describe the increasing violence and frequency of devastating storms, droughts, heat waves and flooding we are seeing here in California and around the world.
The current administration’s denial does not mean these words will go out of style. We need to reduce our CO2 emissions and cease our resource destruction or we will soon all be homeless on our only home planet.
