   Science fiction gave many valuable ideas of what habitable climates could look like in the past when planetary climates were not well understood, in recent years, three-dimensional climate simulations have allowed scientists to gain a better understanding of the range of possible habitable climates. So I hope that the scientific insights on habitable climates will now make their way back into film and literature.
