When the New York Times speaks, the world listens.
And now, with news reports from the most-recent IPCC climate talks inย Japan sending shivers down the spines of people everywhere, theย newspaper-of-record goes out on a springtime limb to report on aย genre that most newspapers have shied away from even mentioning.
The Times editors headlined the article “College Classes Use Arts to Brace for Climate Change,” written by national reporter Richard Perez-Pena. TheWrap, of course, has been talking about Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi) movies and novels since 2012 in several blog posts by this writer — and Darren Aronofsky‘s “Noah” fits nicely into the growing genre as well.
