BBC Radio 4 Extra has the following series on this week

Changing Climates

"The meteorologist John Hammond explores how science fiction has long served as a barometer for our curiosity, awe, and growing anxiety about the changing climate. With expert insight from Sarah Dillon, Professor of Literature and the Public Humanities, and Professor of Human Geography Mike Hulme, we trace how fiction has captured - and sometimes predicted - the shifting relationship between people and the planet.

From E.M. Forster's chilling 'The Machine Stops' to J.G. Ballard's dystopic 'The Drowned World,' we also reside in the near-future realism of Patricia Cumper's 'Biomass.' These stories help us understand how writers imagined - and sometimes eerily anticipated - a world reshaped by climate."

It appears that each episode will be available for 30 days
