"“Crisis” is an incredibly potent word, so it’s interesting to witness the way
the phrase “climate crisis” has become part of the lingua franca.

Once associated only with a few “outspoken” scientists and activists, the
phrase has now gone mainstream.

But what do people understand by the term “climate crisis”? And why does it
matter?"
