““Deep Adaptation has become an international movement now, with people mobilizing to share their grief, discuss what to commit to going forward, become activists, start growing food, all kinds of things.””

“One criticism that emerged of Deep Adaptation more specifically was that this vague forthcoming disaster that Mr. Bendell was describing was already happening to many people — just not yet to the Western academics, bankers and journalists whose interests he had piqued.”

“Another is the British academic Jem Bendell, who advocates an approach he describes as “deep adaptation” to an anticipated “societal collapse”.”

“Deep adaptation strategies also seem imperative to their advocates, because concerned climatologists and environmental activists today are deeply distraught over the prospects of limiting global warming to 1.5 over preindustrial temperature levels.”
