Great causes for optimism! My favorite parts were those about geothermal (I ❤️ geothermal!) and the little out-of-synch birds and their caterpillars! What a genius idea to recalibrate them by force majeure rather than wait to see if they could ever figure it out by natural selection and trial and error. (Which they might not have achieved in ). I can see us playing this role for lots of species that can't adapt as fast as the changes are coming.

Would love to see an issue of your newsletter devoted to geothermal! Definitely superior to windpower and less a ghastly disfigurement of the natural environment. As well as being more reliable and in near infinite supply.

Thank you! I actually wrote an article devoted to geothermal last year (https://sammatey.substack.com/p/the-weekly-anthropocene-geothermal)! There's been a lot of progress since then!
