Today's story comes courtesy of Lorin R. Robinson, author of the Climate Fiction compilation "Tales from the Warming".
Earth Day 2117 follows the plight of the McIntyre clan, as they seek refuge from a seemingly unending climate catastrophe, known as "The Warming", in an isolated and hidden valley. Like his Cli-Fi contemporaries, Lorin's fantastic and poignant short story shines a much-needed light on climate change.
