- Novels and blockbuster movies that tackle climate change gravitate toward the dramatic, especially when it comes to melting ice.

- Perseids (Wikipedia)
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle that are usually visible from mid-July to late-August. The meteors are called the Perseids because they appear from the general direction of the constellation Perseus and in more modern times have a radiant bordering on Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis.
