Climate change sci-fi?

I'm looking for fiction about climate change, in particular books with climate change refugees. Either science fiction - humans fleeing a ruined Earth for new planets, or why not alien environmental refugees arriving here. Or dystopias set on Earth in the near or distant future. Anything that goes into the inequality of who is responsible for climate change and who's got to live with the effects of it would be especially brilliant.

have you read Stephen Baxter's "Flood"? (it has a sequel "Ark", i havent read that yet).

in "Flood", he theorises about global water levels rising and where we might end up.

Sarah Hall's "Daughters of the North" might suit you. It's set in an English post-change dystopia and is about a woman who escapes from where she's living in a city and winds up living in a sort of self-sufficient commune.
