How:
Rather than ending in a loud, messy apocalyptic bang, what if climate change turns out to be a slow, terrible descent into poor drinking water, mosquitoes, and decaying infrastructure? How do writers take this mundane death of the normal and write about it in a way that makes it real, and makes good stories. The panelists discuss turning slow deterioration into sharp stories.
