"Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid" - how the natural world is responding to climate change, with Thor Hanson

If you believe, like me, that climate change is real, then we know that the planet's temperature is rising, and that human activity is behind some of that rise. While we dither about what to do about this, the rest of the biosphere is just... changing. Thor Hanson's book "Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid" is a fascinating survey of how plants and animals are responsing to climate change, classified into three broad categories abbreviated to MAD: Move, Adapt, or Die.
