It's the burning issue of our time - what to do with a climate that's rapidly warming and threatening the world as we know it. On Monday the Climate Change Commission released a blueprint outlining what needs to be done here to help New Zealand meet its emission targets by 2050. But will the steps taken now be enough to stave off damaging changes to the climate - and what happens if we don't follow through? A new book invited Australasian fiction writers to respond to the overwhelming reality of the climate crisis. The result is Scorchers: A Climate Fiction Anthology, co-edited by Paul Mountfort, who joins Kathryn to talk about how the writers imagine the future.
