Even at sea level, it felt like I was immersed in low cloud on this afternoon's short wander across the fen - eerie, silent and the air moisture-laden.

I couldn't agree more.
As a journalist reporting on climate science, I've come to believe we need both evidence & imagination.
Science explains the risks. Fiction helps us experience the kind of world that might be coming.
It's one of the reasons I wrote a climate thriller #FloodWatersDown.

Lovely indie bookshop in Norwich.
Sadly, not interested in stocking #FloodWatersDown despite it being set in eastern UK with super topical #ClimateChange & #AI themes.
Thankfully a friend in the city ordered a copy from #Waterstones just down the road.

Top Wall Street institutions are prepping for global warming that blows past the Paris Agreement.
"We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote, a scenario in which harvest failures are widespread and sea-level rise is measured in feet rather than inches.
