As a kid, I would have LOVED that. No school, massive snowdrifts to build caves in - what's not to like? It's all been predicted by science as part of climate change, Fubbie - fictionally portrayed in this Sci-Fi book that was based on solid science: en.wikipedia.org Publishers Weekly praised the novel, saying "this ecological disaster tale is guaranteed to anger political and economic conservatives of every stripe, but it provides perhaps the most realistic portrayal ever created of the environmental changes that are already occurring on our planet. It should be required reading for anyone concerned about our world's future." [1] Kirkus Reviews were mixed in their review saying "though it is fast-paced and exciting, it does occasionally strain believability. Where the author succeeds is in his fascinating speculation about our ecological future, and the steps we could be taking to repair the world for future generations. First-rate ecological speculation, but a second-rate thriller." [2]Janet Raloff reviewing for Science News said "overall, Robinson's engaging book is a fast-moving, upbeat romp driven by science." [3] The novel was nominated for a Locus Award in 2006. [4]
