I'm glad you found your comfort zone with how often you write your essay. It was always about you finding that "happy place." All you had to do was close your eyes, click your heels three times and say, "There's no place like once a week. There's no place like once a week." :-)
Oh my, this is all very complicated and concerning. Thanks for breaking it down for us. I'm heartened by the fact that your readers accept that global warming is happening.
DEBBIE DOWNER ALERT :: I think this post was tough to follow and perhaps too long. I'm afraid you give readers (and public in general) too much credit. I do not like when folks promote via link. However, I genuinely believe that the story I referenced in the post "The Trifecta" is a real come-to-jesus moment. I believe despite how much of a challenge sea rise will turn out to be, I can see it being resolved by collective action over the next 50 years or so just because the economics or renewables might save the day. I don't see how we deal with the nitrogen cycle nor the accumulation of plastic in the foodchain in the same period. Those are EVEN MORE DIFFICULT to wrap our minds around and are more closely tied to daily subsistence. As a sushi lover, I think large fish like tuna are instructive about what happens when mercury or plastic begin accumulating. As ridiculous as it sounds, I wrote another post titled "Scaffolds". Even myself, in my early 60s expect that any sushi I am eating 10-15 years from now will not come from a fish as it will not be sustainable nor even safe to consume. I think it will be lab-raised from a cell line. It seems inconceivable that the 80% of the world that barely gets by will be eating by subsistence and that will mean wild fish that will be largely contaminated.

I am planning to pivot to the refining of my outline for a book this winter. Even if I just stare at blank paper :)
