They All Come Tumbling Down: A Climate Change novel

By: Kemister, Alan

Humanity fails to address climate change
Environmental Armageddon looms
They All Come Tumbling Down is the final book in the Road to Environmental Armageddon trilogy, a precautionary tale about the hazards of ignoring human-induced climate change. The extended climate fiction saga follows the adventures of several generations of climate change crusaders. They describe the risks of irreparable harm to the environment as we discharge more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Too many people, however, won't cut back, and governments refuse to act.
The Souring Seas begins in 2022 with scientists investigating the ecological impacts of ocean acidification. Startling new results add urgency to the need to reduce carbon emissions, but everyone ignores their warnings. Building Houses of Cards takes up the story in 2027. An industrial fix provides a temporary respite from global warming. It controls temperature without tackling emissions and diverts attention from climate change. The climate change problems fester.
In 1941, when They All Come Tumbling Down begins, the fix is unravelling. Tony Atherton and Beth Manville, the protagonists in The Souring Seas, join forces with Dan Delacour, Elena Llewellyn, and the Matthews clan from Building Houses of Cards in a vain attempt to right the sinking ship.
The battle between the United States and China for commercial domination sabotages their efforts. Increased burning of fossil fuel in the developing world makes things worse.
By 2044, political support for the temperature control program has evaporated. It gets cancelled. Temperatures skyrocket. Humanity's failure to lower carbon emissions leads to environmental turmoil.
Will the record-breaking CO2 concentrations push us toward the new ice age Tony Atherton predicted in 2023?
Political-economic chaos follows as the world spirals toward environmental Armageddon.
