Introduction

Research and development have always been at the heart of King Arthur’s work, spanning the arts, economics, and the physical sciences. Over time, risk management emerged as the unifying thread across these disciplines.

By the 1990s, it became clear that human activity itself posed the greatest threat to humanity — with climate change rising as the foremost existential crisis.

“We developed the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s, which later became established climate theory by the 2000s,” Arthur explains. “Impacts once doubling every hundred years are now doubling every two.”

Recognizing the severity of our situation isn’t pessimism — it’s the prerequisite for effective action. Crisis management is no longer optional; it is essential for survival.

Our greatest hope lies where the humanities and sciences converge — in love, creativity, and shared responsibility.

Featured Song

Penguin (.mp3) | Penguin (.mp4)

Penguin blends electric guitar through a Boss distortion pedal with layered MIDI keyboards to create an immersive, emotional soundscape.

The song was inspired by Antarctica, Inevitable Sea-Level Rise, and the Cascading Impacts of Climate Change . Writing about extinction is the hardest part of this work. Music is where the grief is allowed to surface.

The emperor penguin — entirely dependent on sea ice — may soon vanish. This song is both lament and warning. Please, before it’s too late: stop climate change now.

Science

Tipping points and feedback loops drive the accelerating collapse of climate systems. When one breach triggers another, the cascading failure is known as the Domino Effect .

Our integrated climate model — incorporating non-linear social-ecological feedback loops — projects temperature increases far beyond earlier estimates, signaling rapid, system-wide destabilization.
