It's nice to see more charities popping up focused on narrow goals, like planting milkweed for monarch butterflies, and flowering plants for bees.


Mother Nature has had a tough time of late. It's nice to know that there are people of action in 2019.


And it will go on and on... Animals with summer and winter coats (e.g. rabbits, ptarmigans, foxes) moult based on the amount of daylight, not temperature or snow-cover, so their camouflage will go out of sync. Others, like pikas[1], are doomed for other reasons.

We've never managed to overestimate the cost of global warming.
