"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I prefer the third. I like the imagery of cooling, rather than curing. It seems to work better with the subject.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Am I worrying needlessly about the ambiguity in the first title? Overall reactions?

Nope, I am pretty sure anyone's first read would be the wrong one. With a political topic like that, "Climate Fever" is going to read like a belief and not a description of the climate.

But "Fevered Climate" sounds awkward to me. "Fevered Planet" made more sense: a planet can have a fever. A climate can't have a fever; the fever IS the climate. Your climate may vary.

What about "Solving the Climate Crisis"? It catches my attention immediately. Is Beyond Market Tinkering required?

Climate Fever sounds like Jungle Fever, like someone really has a thing for climate.

Yeah, that's a grabber.

Some like it temperate.

"Solving the Climate Crisis" has a good flow of sound, as well.

Solving the climate crisis: more than market tinkering

(Reason for subtitle :need something to convey that it is about policy rather than tech and that it is not yet another "put a price on carbon" book)
