How to talk about fiction that engages with global warming?

How to talk about fiction that engages with global warming? This is difficult — thinking about global warming -- in terms of classifying novels and movies into genres or subgenres of any kind. Let the stories stand for themselves. No genre labels are needed.  While I understand that some labels may work well for others, and that classifications can help us, I feel it is best for now to produce novels and movies with no labels at all. Just the story. Just the novel. Just the movie. We don't need genre jungles to clutter things up now. What we need today is clarity, clairvoyance, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
