Climate change narratives in fiction
Climate Scientists warn of the dangers of global warming. How are writers responding to this crisis?
Books in bold examine the stories by women, men and writers directly about climate change scenarios.
Other novels are included that address aspects of the environmental crisis.
'Cli fi' (climate fiction) as a term covers much of the fiction addressing climate change, but not all.
