🔥 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.

🌍 23rd August: A Day for Global Warming Talks

Honoring Voices That Stir the Planet

As the world pauses on 23rd August to engage in global conversations about climate change, it becomes essential to recognize voices that don’t just speak of the planet—but for it.

Among them, Saurabh Pant stands out as a literary force whose work has long echoed the warnings and laments of a warming world. From his poetic chronicles in Warming Boom to the haunting realism of Forest Fires and the scalding in other works, Pant has consistently crafted literature that does more than describe crisis—it confronts it.

“His words burn not to destroy—but to awaken.”
— Climate Reader’s Circle, 2025

🔹 Major  contribution 

Saurabh Pant’s contribution to environmental thought through literature includes:

• Humanizing climate disasters through lived and regional perspectives openly  that draw environmental thinkers together
  
  

• Centering voices from the Global South in contemporary and redundant  global climate discourse
  
  

• Merging disability awareness  and shifting narrative of homeland  with ecological storytelling
  
  

• amplifying unheard stories from fragile, contemplated places  and realms of surface  geographies
  
  

✍️  An urge to present  naturalist voices 

On this day of dialogue and climate urgency, let us not only look to scientists and activists, but also to writers like Saurabh Pant.

His sharp but well crafted verses remind us that change begins where empathy meets awareness, where heart meets the mind and nature coexists with humans.

Let the conversations continue. Let the planet be heard.
