Kingsolver and Ghosh Discuss Climate Change at KaLaM 2026

Barbara Kingsolver and Amitav Ghosh talked about climate change at a big book event called KaLaM 2026.

They said climate change is not just about the environment but about how it changes everything in life.

Kingsolver, who is a scientist and a writer, said she worries about nature because she grew up close to it.

She thinks worrying can make people do good things instead of just being scared.

Ghosh talked about how he learned about nature and science when he was young.

He also talked about a dead dolphin he saw, which made him write about how people are hurting nature.

Both writers said it's important to show scientists as real people in stories, not just as experts.

They also talked about how some people are hurt more by big projects like dams and mines.

They believe stories can help people understand and care about these big changes.
