What can dinosaurs teach us about surviving climate change?
More than you think.
In Surviving Climate and Chaos, paleontologist Evan Jevnikar draws on cutting-edge dinosaur science and the fossil record to reveal what prehistoric mass extinctions can teach us about the climate crisis unfolding today. This is not a dinosaur book for kids. This is a serious, science-driven investigation into how Earth's most dramatic climate shifts shaped — and destroyed — life on this planet, and what that means for us right now.
Jevnikar has spent years studying dinosaur fossils and the ancient ecosystems they lived in. In this paleontology book for adults, he connects deep-time climate science to modern environmental challenges in a way that is rigorous, accessible, and genuinely hard to put down. If you have ever wondered what the dinosaur extinction really tells us about survival, resilience, and adaptation, this book answers that question with real science.
Inside Surviving Climate and Chaos you will discover:
- What the dinosaur mass extinction actually reveals about today's climate change crisis
- How the fossil record predicts patterns scientists are tracking right now
- Why prehistoric ecosystem collapse mirrors modern environmental breakdown
- What dinosaur survival strategies can teach us about human resilience
- How paleontology is reshaping our understanding of Earth's future
What leading paleontologists and scientists are saying:
"A cautionary tale of how another time atmospheric CO2 levels rose to exceptional levels, the result was disastrous — including for the mighty dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops among them." — Dr. Gregory Paul, author of The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs
"Jevnikar demystifies the science behind climate change by explaining its underlying drivers and ancient roots using relatable metaphors and examples. An engaging and fun read for anyone curious about Earth's geological, biological, and climate history." — Dr. Peter Makovicky, Professor of Paleontology, University of Minnesota
"A fascinating blend of deep-time paleontology and modern climate science. Jevnikar shows us the past to help us navigate the future." — Dr. Brian Curtice, founder of Fossil Crates
"A lively account of how changing climates have influenced the history of life on Earth." — Dr. Mike Benton, Professor at University of Bristol, author of Extinctions: How Life Survives, Adapts and Evolves
Perfect for readers of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatte, Locked in Time by Daniel Chure, and A Brief History of Earth by Andrew Knoll.
If you are fascinated by dinosaur science, prehistoric climate history, mass extinctions, or the intersection of paleontology and modern survival, Surviving Climate and Chaos belongs on your shelf.
