Primes¶
- Collingridge Dilemma
- Urban planning — highway alignments, zoning, and transit routes are cheap before the city organizes around them and near-immovable once it has, the core of path-dependence-in-urban-form analyses. Climate policy — emissions choices are cheap to change before fossil capital is sunk; atmospheric carbon persists for centuries, so the dilemma operates symmetrically over time.
This sourceDocuments the long-lived persistence of atmospheric carbon (about 40% of cumulative CO2 emissions remaining airborne) and the lock-in of fossil capital — the source of the climate-policy timing asymmetry.

The IPCC AR5 summary says continued emissions cause long-lasting changes and irreversible impacts: it backs the carbon-persistence premise, not the timing-symmetry claim.
“Continued emission of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.”

- Contact-Response Decomposition
- Climate vulnerability (IPCC framing): impact = exposure × sensitivity (moderated by adaptive capacity).
This sourceContribution of Working Group II to the Fifth Assessment Report. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014. Frames climate impact via exposure and sensitivity (vulnerability) moderated by adaptive capacity.
- Climate vulnerability (IPCC framing): impact = exposure × sensitivity (moderated by adaptive capacity).
- Vulnerability Decomposition
- The IPCC's later formula (Risk = Hazard × Vulnerability) treats the two as multiplicative factors, and vulnerability decomposition is the recipe for one of them.
This sourceThe AR5 risk framing Risk = f(Hazard, Exposure, Vulnerability), treating vulnerability as a factor distinct from hazard probability.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
