CLIMATE CHANGE: what does it mean?
The words Climate Change have entered our vocabulary with hurricane force. It's difficult to pick up a newspaper, view the evening news, or read more than a few minutes on social networks, or the web without encountering these words. But what do they mean? Is climate really changing? How is it changing? Hasn't it always changed? Didn't we just recover from an ice age that ended only ten thousand years ago; and, didn't Europe just recover from a mini ice age that ended only a few centuries ago? So, what does climate change really mean? Does any one know? If these questions interest you, then please read on, as I try to shed some light on this complex, socio-political issue.Complete

Rhodoreef
𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 · 28x FEATURED · An Asian sci-fi retelling of The Little Mermaid that steers the tale you know in a whole new funky direction | An ambitious teen mermaid must venture beyond her guarded underwater city and brave the polluted, climate-ravaged wilds of the Indian Ocean, in order to find her human soulmate and forge a better future for her people. *** Calliathron is the epitome of modern sea life--a bustling mer-city contained within a coral atoll in an alternate Indian Ocean. Yet, the ripples of a changing world beyond have begun to seep in, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. Who said life's easy for a teen about to graduate high school? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a mobile home with a grumpy grandmother who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans coexist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and building a political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days. It's time to return him to the wild--not like she'd swim into a human.

Prisons of Ice and Fire
A CliFi short story. Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea... ...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in. Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter... ... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs. Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives. The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean. To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand. To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water. A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it. You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick... ...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.Complete
GENESIS: The Ascendance Protocol
(⚠️SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY) The Earth as it was no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented skybound world-vast floating landmasses suspended over an endless abyss of energy. The oceans have vanished, replaced by an enigmatic force beneath the remnants of civilization, an infinite power source that hums with untold secrets. Cities of gleaming spires and neon-lit corridors cling to these drifting continents, where the remnants of humanity thrive under a futuristic society shaped by science, ambition, and an unspoken fear of the past. Reality is no longer bound by mere chance. Probability itself bends to those who wield the Quantum Matrix, a force derived from the very essence of existence. With it, individuals can reshape their destinies-or bring ruin upon everything around them. Order and chaos exist in delicate balance, held in check by those who seek free will and those who seek freedom.
Tevun Krus #129 Cli-Fi - Climate Science Fiction
Cli-fi or climate sci-fi centres on the reasons and outcome of climate change here on old Earth as well as potential means to prevent the worst. As such, cli-fi often has a darker tone, but who said that there can't be an upside to it? And of course, climate change can happen on other planets as well - and perhaps even be seen as something good by some? A large new subgenre to explore for the writers of the mothership!Complete
