I'm seeing it as an optimistic story, by the way. All this climate change stuff... don't worry for the planet. The planet will be fine. It won't have homo sapiens on it for much longer but hey, I guess we had a decent innings. A shame to scupper it all with a series of own goals but that - to push a mixed metaphor to its limit - is what our current circular firing squad of a human race is hell bent on doing.
And meanwhile, there are short sci-fi tales to lessen the pain.
