Abstract The research article entitled “Environmental Challenges in Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker” emphasizes the future of a fossil-fuel dependent world. Carbon-based fuel exhausts in this future world and humans live on the scraps of old technology. This article presents the embodied simulation of a climate-changed world that can offer much more than simple entertainment. It also highlights the future risks of environment and its effects. The polar ice caps melt and New Orleans is under water, thus affecting the environment. The protagonist Nailer lives in extreme deprivation and survives by selling copper wiring from oil tankers, which have crashed during intense hurricanes, an outcome of environmental instability. Thus, this paper analyses the future risk of shortage of natural resources, which leads to many problems.

Keywords: environment, degradation, climate change, ecology, deprivation
