The article is titled "Could solutions to serious problems facing the 
world come from the imaginations of science-fiction authors?".

I suggest not: we have enough difficulty convincing politicians and the 
general public that climate change is a fact, without mentioning science 
fiction.

Although, I do like to quote Stark Trek to climate change skeptics:

	"Only a fool fights in a burning house"

	Klingon proverb from "Day of the Dove", Stark Trek
