The Great Warming. This “oral history” includes stories -people talking about their lives and science of their time, not very personal- from a future not that far away. One we‘re heading if we don‘t take climate change seriously. Drought, flooding, sea level, ice melting, war, fascism, extinction and health. points I‘ve never considered before: mass climate immigration. A book of worst case scenario, if e we don‘t change. Easy explanations

My mind keeps bouncing on a singular thought of point: keeping straight that this is fiction. For now. Every time the present time being the year 2080 is brought up, I think about how I will be alive then, albeit going into my final years. That feels the point of this book of “interviews with real people” who were born in the early 2000 century. How people ignored the signs of climate change and how the world has since changed. For the worst
