Grist's intersectional climate fiction contest—w/ Tory Stephens of Fix, the Grist solutions lab
Making art about climate is useful in that it reaches a part of the brain that science does not. And climate fiction as a genre gives us a way to get the climate conversation started. Better yet, cli-fi that focuses on solutions might actually help us find a way forward.Tory Stephens is the New England Network Weaver at and explain what differentiates his team’s writing…

During Earth Day week, here’s a nonscientific approach to climate change
There has been so much heated public discussion about climate change that it is hard for a person without scientific training to make heads or tails of the issue. Sure, some of the science is not subject to dispute. It is certain that burning fossil fuels, like coal, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A simple lab test will show that increasing the amount of a greenhouse gas in an air sample will increase the heat-holding capacity of the sample. And, we know…
