The New York Times introduced an
interesting debate “Will Fiction Influence How We React to Climate Change?” on
their website. I remember watching The
Day After Tomorrow in 8th grade science class and analyzing the
movie for inaccuracies. The whole experience gave me the shivers. Watching society
watch a problem explode in front of them without a solution- I wanted to hide
under my desk. However, is there truth
to the exaggerated fictional movie that depicted the Statue of Liberty drowning
in the harbor and people running past the border to Mexico?
We have a problem
in front of us right now. There are many solutions. Some of them are being
tested in labs; others are being practiced in smaller communities. A global
solution? Sounds like fiction.
