How do we imagine and predict our climate future amid so much change and uncertainty? How do different perspectives inform those predictions?

Join author Nick Fuller Googins, whose new speculative novel The Great Transition is out now, as he leads a discussion on these questions and more. Googins will be joined by Ania Wright of Maine Youth for Climate Justice and the Sierra Club, and Dr. Dave Reidmiller, Director of the Climate Center at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.

The panel will discuss how novelists, scientists, and activists imagine our future, how and whether those visions are in concert or in conflict, and what we can all take away from imagining what is to come.
