Climate Fiction aka Cli-Fi with the hashtag #CliFi comes in all sorts of forms, there’s your Mad Maxes, your Games of Thrones, your Parables of the Sowers, and your WALL-Es. But are all these Cli-Fi books, movies, and TV shows just capitalizing on a hot topic, or do they actually change people’s perceptions of climate change?

The Cli-Fi term was coined by literary journalist and climate activist Dan Bloom in 2011 for a cli-fi novel he was promoting as a PR consultant to author Jim Laughter who wrote the ''cli-fi thriller'' ''POLAR CITY RED'' on Bloom's commissioning request in 2011, book published in 2012. see AMAZON.com or Jim's website.
