Cultural experiences of time vary greatly during climate disasters, reflecting individual perspectives and interpretations.
The paper emphasizes the messiness and multiplicity of time, particularly in the context of an impending apocalypse.
Through qualitative analysis, different cultural narratives reveal how people perceive and react to temporality amidst crises.
The findings suggest that recognizing diverse temporalities could enhance discussions on climate change and its impacts.
