This is a new kind of journalism, and a new set of ideas that is going to take some time to sink in. Not surprising that the "solastalgia" concept comes from an Australian philosopher, as that country is the first to create a cabinet-level "Department of Climate Change."

This is the reality human consciousness will inhabit for as many generations as we have left. We owe it to ourselves and our children to make the most of it, and find out whether a large brain was an evolutionary advantage or a dead end.
