“Now it was almost as dark as on a cloudy night. There was a dull bang, followed immediately by another. Followed by an increasingly violent crackling sound, as if someone were dropping lead balls on a metal plate, sometimes golf balls and increasingly cannonballs.” The climax from Marc Elsberg’s new thriller “Celsius” – lead bullet, golf ball, cannonball – may not quite do justice to the complexity of climate impact research, but what you get right away is this: the bullets are getting more dangerous and the impacts are getting closer. At some point it hits everyone. It’s called climate change. Which actually offers some thrill.
