The 12 greatest global crises in human history are also humanity's greatest opportunity to resolve its most intractable problems and inequities, which could not (and have not,) been solved ever before.
A principal characteristic of human life is that it develops into biography. In that sense, humans do not want their values in nature, any more than they want other goods in life, to come seriatum, like beads on a string -intrinsic goods without meaningful interconnection. Humans want a storied residence in nature where the passage of time integrates past, present, and future in a meaningful career.... The evolutionary epic... Is now consummated in environmental ethics.
