We developed the name “the Force Majeure” to explain the accelerating transaction between aspects of the Global Warming phenomenon and their interaction with the many ecosystems that are under stress or in actual turbulence from over-demand by human activity. This work envisions a counter to the reduction of production and consumption due to market contraction and turbulence that mirrors the shrinking productivity and wellbeing of the world ocean and many, many other overstressed planetary sub-systems. These 3 works are designed to make clear, albeit in a very simple way, that subcontinents and countries that inhabit them are not equipped conceptually, legally, or structually to meet a future shaped by such a force.
