[Here are the 10 bullets a climate change communicator told me he felt were most effective. I agree.]

 

I call these ''cli-fi bullets'': Here are 10 random thoughts about cli-fi in 140 characters that first appeared on Twitter -- Dan Bloom, curator, The Cli-Fi Report

==================================================

​• Cli-fi isn't a marketing term, and it's more than a literary term. It's a password into the future and those who know it, know.

 

 

• Cli-fi is more than a mere genre: it's a cri de coeur, a warning flare, a pathway to the future before it's too late. See? #CliFi's here now​

 

• ​Cli-fi is more than a genre term, much more than that: it's a code word, a password, a secret handshake; it is bringing us together as one.

 

 

• If cli-fi is one thing, it's a chance to choose our future. One door leads here, another door leads there. Choose wisely: Your descendants are waiting.

 

• You might not really be interested in cli-fi, or where it is going. But trust me, cli-fi is interested in you. Why? Becos the End is nigh

 

 

• Think positive, think cli-fi. Think future generations, think now. Think the end is nigh unless we change our ways.

• To show respect, please always capitalize ''Earth," which is the name of our home in the cosmos,  Earth matters, tell the copy desk. Lowercasing it is beneath us.

 

• Cli-fi, by indirection finds direction out. Your words on the page must be balanced, insistent. Always. And never lose hope.

 

• Climate change is more than a fact of life. It is the result of human ingenuity, greed, rapaciousness and fear. Fear not: cli-fi is here. Write it.

 

• If you can manage to fit the personal stories of cli-fi between the covers of a book, do it. With trepidation. Know your audience.
