I'm alarmed by how our club's debate on climate fiction quickly shifted from plot analysis to outright science denial.
This pattern threatens to undermine the educational potential of using literature to engage with environmental crises.

Ugh that reminds me of the time our local library put up a "fact check" display next to the geology section because someone kept slipping climate denial pamphlets into books about glaciers. It took them three months to notice the pamphlets were funded by a fossil fuel lobby group.

Think about it, maybe a little science denial keeps book clubs from becoming echo chambers. @the_tessa's library incident shows people are still passionate about the topic, even if their methods are shady.
