The article is titled "Could solutions to serious problems facing the
world come from the imaginations of science-fiction authors?".
I suggest not: we have enough difficulty convincing politicians and the
general public that climate change is a fact, without mentioning science
fiction.
Although, I do like to quote Stark Trek to climate change skeptics:
"Only a fool fights in a burning house"
Klingon proverb from "Day of the Dove", Stark Trek
(Original Series), Episode 3x11, 1968:
