Humanity fails to address climate change

Environmental Armageddon looms

The Souring Seas is Book One in The Road to Environmental Armageddon trilogy, a precautionary tale about the hazards of ignoring human-induced climate change. Scientists describe the risks of irreparable harm to the environment as we discharge more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. People, however, won’t cut back, and governments refuse to act.
The extended climate fiction (Cli-Fi) saga follows the adventures of several generations of climate change crusaders. They struggle to understand the science and convince everyone they must reduce their discharges. It begins in 2022 with scientists investigating the ecological impacts of climate change. It ends in 2049 with political chaos generated by our inability to deal with the problems.

The Souring Seas

In 2022, oceanographers in Halifax, Nova Scotia’s Dalhousie University, are studying ocean acidification. They observe enhanced growth of marine plankton when they add carbon dioxide to their aquaria. Tony Atherton discovers removal of the increased planktonic biomass to the sediments will reverse global warming. He imagines a natural remedy for increasing carbon emissions. His enthusiasm withers when he realizes other aspects of climate change will destroy global ecological balances before his ‘cure’ kicks in.
Beth Manville, an actress with an interest in environmental issues, steals Tony’s heart. She joins his fight to convince people to treat ocean acidification seriously. Her enthusiasm waxes as his wanes.
Then he discovers the importance of acidification and excessive plankton growth in other climate change endgames. It’s playtime, and he’s back in the game.

Review

Souring Seas paints grim picture

The Souring Seas, book one in a trilogy by Alan Kemister, calls attention to what is at stake when global warming is not taken seriously. The story, which begins in present day and spans nearly three decades, paints a grim picture.

While doing research, Tony Atherton discovers just how much human-induced climate change is destroying the global ecological balance. In fact, he believes our very survival is threatened. Disturbed by his findings, Tony tries to caution others. His concerns, however, are largely dismissed by a government who offers mere platitudes and hollow promises.

Tony meets Beth Manville, an actress and concerned environmentalist. They fall in love and together, they warn of the irreparable damage that will result if this crisis is ignored. The story is interwoven with the character's personal life. As readers follow the couple over years and decades, what emerges is a dystopian world of fires, floods, and extinction.

Although The Souring Seas is fictional, it carries a very real and frightening message: The consequences of climate change are dire. We are already on the road to Armageddon. However, despite the book's grimness, hope lies in the knowledge that it is not too late to turn this disaster around. - Goodreads review by Alice Walsh, author of Death on Darby's Island.

Alan Kemister is the pen name of Phil Yeats, a chemist based in Halifax Nova Scotia, who began experimenting with creative writing in 2009. He has a keen interest in environmental science and dabbled in yachting and golf before turning to fiction after retirement. He's used the pen name Alan Kemister to maintain a degree of separation between papers written during his career as an oceanographic researcher and his more recent forays into fiction.

Alan has published many short stories; some of them in anthologies available on Amazon. His first novel, A Body in the Sacristy, a traditional whodunit mystery, was published in April 2018. A second, Tilting at Windmills, appeared in December of that year. After a three-year hiatus, he published (September, 2021) The Souring Seas, the first volume in a trilogy about the hazards of ignoring climate change. He has now added The Body on Karli's Beach to his Barrettsport Mysteries, and Building Houses of Cards and They All Come Tumbling Down, the second and third volumes in his climate change trilogy. His most recent book is The Road to Environmental Armageddon, and omnibus edition of his climate change saga.
