We live at a time when everyone knows—or should know—the future. A crucial, but often misunderstood fact about global warming is that the climate system runs on a time delay. Thus, from the concentration of greenhouse gases in the air today, it is possible to predict, with a fair degree of certainty, what average global temperatures will be like thirty or forty years from now. Ditto for sea levels and ice cover. Climate scientists refer to this as our “commitment to warming.” We’re committed to warming long before we actually experience it.

How to represent this future that we are already committed to? Climate modelers tend to rely on charts and graphs to get the message across. The contributors to this volume offer something else —stories. The characters in these stories are made up and the situations invented. The events haven’t happened and, in a strict sense, never will. But the science behind these tales is all too real. (The true “science fiction” of our time, peddled on talk radio and in the halls of Congress, is that global warming is a myth.)
