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
