Tipping Points: How Climate Chaos Redefines Civilization
Alex Southwick
Every system — natural or human — has a breaking point. Ice sheets collapse, forests burn, markets crash, societies fracture. Now, as the planet edges toward a cascade of irreversible shifts, humanity faces its own moment of balance.
In Tipping Points, Alex Southwick examines the fragile thresholds that define our age — from the melting Arctic permafrost to the strain on global food networks and the fraying bonds of political trust. Drawing on science, history, and on-the-ground reporting, Southwick reveals how these crises intertwine, amplifying one another into a single planetary reckoning.
Yet this is also a story of resilience. Across the world, communities, cities, and movements are learning to adapt — not by returning to the old normal, but by building something entirely new.
Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its insight, Tipping Points is a profound exploration of how climate chaos doesn’t just threaten civilization — it’s already redefining what civilization means.
