#KimStanleyRobinson describes the work of the National Science Foundation (#NSF) in combating #ClimateChange in his fictional trilogy Science In The Capital. Only, he chose a universe where Americans elected an environmentalist president, and (almost) everyone works to save the planet from climate disaster. Starting new wars for oil and supporting genocide wasn't even imagined as a possibility in that universe.

In this universe though, environmental activist Al Gore was
