In Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert takes a hard look at the new world we are creating. Along the way, she meets biologists who are trying to preserve the world’s rarest fish, which lives in a single tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave; engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland; Australian researchers who are trying to develop a super coral that can survive on a hotter globe; and physicists who are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth.
One way to look at human civilization, says Kolbert, is as a ten-thousand-year exercise in defying nature. In The Sixth Extinction, she explored the ways in which our capacity for destruction has reshaped the natural world. Now she examines how the very sorts of interventions that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation.

Great book!
Can you upload “pursuing the addenda” by John A. keel?

It’s the 7th mass extinction (known) & this one will go down as yet another hot house mass extinction. There’s a pattern on this planet kids.
“Newly discovered mass extinction event triggered the dawn of the dinosaurs”
‘Huge volcanic eruptions 233 million years ago pumped carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour into the atmosphere. This series of violent explosions, on what we now know as the west coast of Canada, led to massive global warming.’

Sound familiar to any of you green house gas producing mass consumers?
The mass extinction that did the dinosaurs (KT) was, in part at minimum a hot house mass extinction due to the Deccan traps spewing major green house gasses.
It’s unlikely the humans will make it out of this century.

Thanks! The Sixth Extinction and Field Notes From a Catastrophe were both terrific(E. Kolbert books).
I don’t know this book but am giving it 5 stars.

We can still turn this around… there is no fate but what we make.
And damnit we’ve made a lot of fate these days.
