🔥 6 Years of “Warming Fumes” – A Lyrical Cry from the Earth
September 5, 2019 – September 5, 2025
Six years ago, the world was handed a warning—one wrapped not in graphs, but in poetry.
Warming Fumes, authored by Saurabh Pant, emerged as a searing voice from the mountains, blending environmental urgency with the soul of verse.
It wasn’t just a book.
It was a plume of poetic protest—unfolding the devastation of a warming world, species on the edge, and humanity’s fragile breath amidst smog and silence.
“You call it haze.
I call it a scream of the sky,
Coughing the names we forgot.”
Published in 2019, this work has continued to gain momentum across environmental forums, student circles, and visually impaired literary collectives across borders.
Six years later, the fumes haven’t cleared.
But this book still glows like a flare in the fog, reminding us what’s at stake.
Here’s to 6 years of poetic resistance, ecological voice, and literary flame.
Warming Fumes remains relevant up to this day. And necessary.
