What Will Justice for Climate Change Culprits Look Like?

A new novel grapples with vengeance toward global warming’s worst offenders. The post What Will Justice for Climate Change Culprits Look Like? appeared first on Nautilus.

Climate change is already a deadly threat to human life, from the 61,672 deaths recently attributed to heat in Europe in the summer of 2022 to this summer’s combination of devastating floods and forest-razing wildfires. Yet perhaps the scariest part is that if we don’t get warming under control, this is all likely to get worse. Research forecasts that, if current emissions continue, by 2050 damaging flooding will become 10 times worse in the United States, while global catastrophic wildfires will increase by a third. And dangerous heat waves are projected to become three to 10 times worldwide by the century’s end.
