nI have never even heard of cli-fi before – have you?
n
nAnd yet, I’ve read some!
n
n
n
nCli-fi is climate change fiction. It’s a small slice out of the science-fiction or speculative-fiction genre. Even before we knew that our planet is slowly warming up due to human activities that release carbon emissions (burning gasoline and other fossil fuels, especially) – even before that, some authors explored global climate change in their novels. A good example is Jules Verne, who way back in 1889 wrote The Purchase of the North Pole.

| Hopefully not all of cli-fi is dystopian. I like to get a bit of hope in my fiction – don’t you? |
nThe cli-fi book I’ve read, Blind Waves by Steven Gould, is more for adults than YA. But here is an article with some cli-fi for kids.
n
nCheck out authors such as Sarah Holding, David Thorpe, Saci Lloyd, and George Marshall.
