This article seeks to explore the shifting public awareness of climate change and its consequences, and answer the question about the relationship between climate and culture, particularly in terms of representability of climate change and its disastrous impact in non-fiction literature. Researchers and authors point to a new role of the humanities in emphasising environmental challenges and sustainable development, but also criticising anthropogenic impact on the environment. The latter should be particularly exposed, that is effectively depicted by literature, so as to exercise constant pressure and promote pro-environmental activities. This is the context in which the author analyses Filip Springer’s series of articles on climate change in Poland (in the regions of Pomerania, Silesia, the Noteć River, in Warsaw and the Biebrza National Park), published in the monthly Pismo. Magazyn Opinii. Springer keeps a record of signs and symptoms of climate crisis, thus helping us to visualise its apocalyptic effects in the future in terms of people’s well-being, safety and stability, both in Poland and in the world.
