shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of thosechanges are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely on.
What will we do—what can we do—to slow this human-caused warming? How will we cope withthe changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the fate of the Earthas we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snow-capped mountains—(2)hangs in the balance.
