Love this piece! Saving it. Great quote from the article: “Do we want accuracy in our Climate Fiction stories? For most of us, yes. The Climate Crisis is a serious issue that deserves our serious (and immediate) attention. Do we need it to be 100% accurate in the science? No, because cli-fi is still fiction, and, on some level, we need some hope that we haven’t screwed things up as badly as we initially thought. ” — I agree we need to remember it’s fiction & provide space for imagination.
I think Climate Change is one of those wicked problems where literature helps. The problem is too complex to "solve" in a purely scientific, or political way.
I’ve never heard of “The Wicked Problem” concept before— interesting. Wiki lists only 3 strategies — curious. thanks 💡
