Gavin Schmidt on X
Climate scientist, occasional juggler, even more occasional author, curious about how the world works. "A despicable cad" - Anthony Watts
Lucifer's Hammer
Larry NivenGavin Schmidtand authors from H. G. Wells (The Star, 1897) to Jerry Pournelle & Larry Niven (Lucifer's Hammer, 1977) have all explored how such an event would affect us. As usual with science fiction, these stories mostly reflect the concerns of their times. https://t.co/3l2E13FjFp

The Last Policeman
Ben H. WintersGavin SchmidtTimes do change of course, and even the 1977 subtext of LH seems dated today. More recent efforts resonate better (IMO). In particular Ben H. Winters' trilogy (and specifically The Last Policeman, 2012) capture our current societal pathologies well. https://t.co/0HQr8nIzOJ
