Meet Scott Thill, the world's most prolific promoter and user of the #CliFi hashtag for environmental destruction news items and fossil fuel destructiveness and man made global warming issues. EVERYDAY, almost every day, 24/7, Scott, a resident of Los Angeles and a graduate of Berkeley (as a grad student in the 1990s) and a longtime writer for Wired magazine and the Huffinston Post, among other sites, tweets via @morphizm and many of his tweets use the #CliFi hashtag, created originally by Lisa Devaney in the UK as a PR tool for the cli-fi communitty worlfwide. Scott is also the author of a forthcoming nonfiction essay book about #CliFi, as he sees it through his own own distinctive and visionary lens.

For academic studying the rise of cli fi meme worldwide, Scott Thill's tweets are worth watchingh and studying and paying attention to. He's been using the #CliFi term in his own distinctive way in Wired magazine and again in a second piece in 2010, also in Wired magazine.
