Book excerpt: 'The Mad Planet' is a science-fiction short story written by American writer Murray Leinster. It is often cited as one of the first attempts of depicting the effects of climate change in fiction—which isn't a wholly inaccurate distinction. The story centers on a man who finds himself in the middle of a slowly melting Earth due to high CO2 concentration. This eventually led to the awakening of giant insect creatures bent on completely wiping off humanity.
