![]() Richard Hnatt lives in a future Earth that is too hot. It is so hot that anyone who is forced to go out of doors is required to wear their own cooling unit for their own personal safety and well-being.

weather patterns and global temperature vary due to our impact on the environment, or long-term changes that are normal for the Earth.
