Sci-Fi Graphic Novel Shifting Earth Is A Hopeful Take on Climate Change
The upcoming sci-fi graphic novel Shifting Earth from Berger Books and Dark Horse Comics manages to showcase an optimistic view of the climate change crisis. It's difficult to deny that today's environmental climate is not in the best shape. Temperatures are rising, biodiversity is dwindling, and oceans are being poisoned. However, not everything is doom and gloom in regards to climate change, and Shifting Earth highlights that there are still things to be hopeful for.
