Recently Adam was asked to pen a thought-piece for the Missouri Natural Area Newsletter about climate change in the Midwest. In 5-1/2 easy pages, it covers: emissions scenarios, the last glacial maximum, the year 2500, and how we need an adaptive resist-adapt-direct (RAD) framework for dealing with it.
