These start to drive him mad, especially the hostile beast that is the social phenomena of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change. This Sci-Fi / Cli-Fi story featured on the most viewed Climate Change site on the planet, ‘Watts Up With That’.‘Truth’ is a Sci-Fi / Cli-Fi (climate fiction) novelette that featured on the most viewed Climate Change site on the planet, ‘Watts Up With That’, also the primary UK climate blog ‘Bishop Hill’, and the Cli-Fi review post at Judith Curry’s leading ‘Lukewarmer’ blog ‘Climate Etc.’ (Judith herself is Professor and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology). The latter review was shared with Michael Crichton’s ‘State of Fear’, Rex Fleming’s first novel ‘Exposure’, Ian McEwan’s ‘Solar’, Barbara Kingsolver’s ‘Fight Behaviour’ and Clive Cussler’s ‘Arctic Drift’, plus several other novels and one other novelette.
