Climate change inspires rise of 'cli-fi' flicks

FILE--In this July 2, 2014 file photo, Fabien Cousteau reacts as he returns to the dock after 31 days undersea in the Aquarius Reef Base, in Islamorada, in the Florida Keys. Cousteau and his team of filmmakers and scientists dove June 1 to study the effects of climate change and pollution on a nearby coral reef. Cousteau documented the 31-day underwater living experiment in a film, which was shown at the Blue Ocean Film Festival, held Nov. 3-9, 2014 in St. Petersburg, Fla. The festival is one of the biggest environmental documentary events in the world - and also the rise of the emerging genre of cli-fi movies, short for "climate fiction." (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky, File) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The giant, inflatable whale in this Gulf Coast city signals not only the arrival of one of the world's biggest documentary festivals, but also the emergence of film as a way to tell the story of climate change.
