內容簡介
hile much of the global warmingconversation rightly focuses onreducing our carbon footprint，the reality is that even if we were to lm—mediately cease emissions，we would stillface climate change into the next millenni．um．In Finding Higher Ground，Amy Seidltakes the uniquely positive--yet realis．tic--position that humans and animals canadapt and persist despite these changes．Drawing on an emerging body of scientif-ic research，Seidl brings US stories of ad．aptation from the natural world and fromhuman communities．She offers examplesof how plants，insects，birds，and mam．mals are already adapting both behav．iorally and genetically．Within ten yearsone plant species in a drought—strickenarea has evolved to fit its life cycle intothe shorter growing season．Red squirrelsare breeding earlier to take advantage ofthe food supplied by an earlier spring．Ansome birds are migrating shorter distanc．es，or not at all，as their northern habitatsbecome mjder.
