How climate change could impact the world in 20 years. We explore the book “2040 A.D.”
What will the world look like in 20 years if climate change goes unchecked? That’s the premise of “2040 A.D.,” a new collection of short stories that fall under an emerging literary genre known as climate fiction. We speak with author Luis Alberto Urrea, who wrote one of the stories in the collection, and Rob Moore of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
