Slow Onset Events
is an umbrella term for slow-acting climate change effects such as "sea
level rise, increasing temperatures, ocean acidification, glacial retread and
related impacts, salinization, land and forest degradation, loss of
biodiversity and desertification."1 Through poetic sleight of

change while also offering a psychological-cum-superstitious solution for said
fear
