Climate change denial remains a powerful force in the United States …Who exactly denies climate change? Certianly not anyone who is aware that climate is characterized by continuous change, climate being a chaotic system governed by a non-linear dynamic. No, what some people deny is global warming theory. One of those is Nobel laureate Ivar Giaeve. I trust him on the subject more than I do a professor of law and political science.
That said, I like the term Cli-Fi, and I think fiction based on a real understanding of the nature of climate could prove fascinating. Think of a fictional version of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, set during the time when the so-called Little Ice Age was starting in Europe. Very scary that would be.
