Climate Stories

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

Most days, life 1,500 ft below the sea is peaceful or even predictable. But this isn't one of those days. * * * Will Scott has never seen daylight. He was born eighteen years ago aboard Vanguard, an undersea base where the remaining members of humanity took refuge after destroying the environment. During a botched mission to catch food, the cocky teen discovers that contrary to what he's been told, there may be survivors of the catastrophic climate change on the mainland. More importantly, there may actually be a place on the surface that's still habitable. Going against the Amended Maritime Code, Will makes it his purpose to find the survivors. To do so, not only does he need to learn to trust others (not his strong-suit), but also avoid the nasty results of a depleted ozone layer (easier said than done). Driven by the desire to finally breathe fresh air and feel the sun on his face, he'll risk not only disobeying his superiors, but also his life to lead the remaining members of society toward a new civilization. 1st person Male POV in THE SILO (or FALLOUT) meets THE 100 but make it underwater.

Kean lived peacefully, knowing he'd be one of the mermen who never had to travel to the deadly surface of the ocean. However, once human conflict reaches the depths of the ocean, leaving his village destroyed and everyone he loves gone, he must travel to heights he's never reached before to help a small resistance team on the surface prevent merpeople and the entire sea from becoming collateral damage at the hands of human greed. Forced to mix with humans in order to create change, he ends up making connections he never expected, while learning things about the sea even he never knew about before. Thank you so much for reading! Please comment and let me know what you think! I am trying to do a new chapter every Friday to start out, but I will hopefully begin posting more often as I go!

This article explores the growing crisis facing Ireland's fishing industry, linking overfishing, climate change, and global demand to declining fish stocks and threatened livelihoods. It highlights how modern industrial practices and environmental pressures are destabilising marine ecosystems, while also suggesting sustainable solutions to protect the future of our oceans.

In recent decades, the issue of climate change has become increasingly prominent, with global warming being recognised as one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. As temperatures rise, extreme weather events become more frequent, ecosystems are disrupted, and sea levels continue to rise. To understand the causes and implications of global warming, researchers and scientists around the world have dedicated their efforts to studying this phenomenon. In the United Kingdom, the National Climate Change Journal, published by Climate Change Review, serves as a valuable resource for disseminating research findings and insights into the complex factors driving global warming.

A female alien has been sent to Earth from an all-green planet, similar to Earth but evolved by ten million years. Her mission is to discover if this planet is a viable option for her species to escape to, once their sun star explodes, which is imminent. She has lived on Earth now for two years and has been gathering data to make her decision. A male human works at NASA for an incompetent president's newfound "Spaceforce" which originally was formed to boost the president's ego and pretend like Earth is protecting itself from outside alien forces. The scientists at NASA are mostly incompetent and barely scientists, having been chosen for their loyalty to the president rather than their commitment to good research. One employee, however, is determined to make real scientific discoveries and stumbles upon the green planet in his research/observations. Feeling like he has no choice but to reveal his discovery, he lets the information out and it becomes a sensation as leaders from around the world consider whether or not this newfound planet could be a good escape plan when Earth is inevitably rendered uninhabitable due to climate change/nuclear wars/etc.

The struggle of humanity to find the right balance between what is good for the progress of civilization and what is good for the planet that habits said civilization has always been a herculean task. Our character Conrad finds himself in such a predicament in quite an unexpected way.

This is kind of a poem, but not really I guess, about our broken ocean. Not sure if it technically qualifies as an ode but eh. Also, double points if you catch the pun. Image is from: https://www.deviantart.com/vitaly-sokol/art/Beautiful-Ocean-Sunset-417528038

In the middle of a blazing summer, Tokyo begins to freeze. Snow falls, lakes freeze, and panic spreads. Amid the chaos, a quiet high school boy named Tanaka Tetsuhara-haunted by the death of his mother-lives in silence, cut off from the world. Everything changes when he meets Yuki Nanao, a mysterious girl with fiery hair and a glowing mark on her hand-one that holds the power to stop the abnormal cold. But her power comes with a price. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the snow, the mark, and the fate that ties them to Tokyo's strange collapse. Will Yuki survive the cost of her gift? And can Tanaka find the strength to save her-along with himself? "Frozen Fate: The Mark of Yuki" is a supernatural anime-inspired novel about loneliness, mystery, and a power born of sacrifice.

We are Earth. And we are burning.

Humans are supposed to be sophisticated and intelligent but sometimes I think we are dumb.

Someone from the not-so-distant future writes to no one at all. They are never heard. This 'story' has just started. I would laugh if someone suggested it was finished. I have a lot of work to do.

Here are some of the poems I have been writing from the pandemic...
