My great-grandfather was one of the only men to escape from Earth. The rest of the people who got seats on the Escape Pod were women and children.
He told me how scary it was when Earth became too hot to live on. The skies burned with fire day and night, and you couldn't walk across the street without collapsing.
I asked him if he had had any kind of warning about climate change and he said yes, there'd been articles, movies, and books about how it was going to happen.
I asked him how and he said that he had done something called recycling, which is where you throw your garbage into different-colored boxes.
