Making a Life on a Tough New Planet

"Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding,
and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. We've created, in very
short order, a new planet, still recognizable but fundamentally different.
Call it eaarth. Eaarth is a manifesto on the new economic and cultural
realities on a changed planet and suggestions for the kind of change
we'll need in order to make our civilization endure."
