Strange Temple

By 2017 the sixth mass extinction was already well underway. The previous 40 years had seen 50% of all land-based vertebrate species disappear for good. There had been warnings of an imminent human population increase of another 3 billion. Yet, we were only just starting to see that as a problem, mainly because it would have been bad for business. The reality was that we were already screwed. Strange Temple visits the Earth in the mid-23rd Century, long after the big die-back of 2095, where the climate is moving towards a much hotter, but stable extreme. The few groups of remaining humans are governed by AIs, some of which are more stable than others. Will they succeed in reversing the run-away warming cycle, and if they do, what kind of human will go forward into the new world?
