It’s a long process with a lot of uncertainty. Mr. Christman estimates that the 25,000 eggs he planted that March day will produce 10,000 juvenile fish. Of these, one adult might return in the summer of 2029 or 2030. In all, the 495,000 eggs he and his colleagues planted this year could lead to the return of just about 20 adults.
Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They’re taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud—where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more “content” have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with.

4. Enable people’s right to stay Framing population movements as an object of global management [2] is likely to overlook the fact that many climate-impacted communities do not want to move [9]. In fact, there is strong evidence that even in climatically stressed areas, local residents generally want to remain in place [24]. Communities around the globe, ranging from the Pacific to the Sahel, emphasize that much stronger mitigation action and adaptation interventions are needed to secure a future where they already are, and that pre-emptively assuming inevitable relocation is unjust [9, 10]. The notion that climate-induced population redistribution is ‘inevitable’ risks diverting attention and resources away from much needed investments in in-situ adaptation for those who are most vulnerable yet opt for the right to stay [8, 10]. In that context, climate change discussions and decision-making should be centered around self-determination, which includes rights to stay and to move.
Three graphs from Google Trends depict the popularity of the search terms "Greta Thunberg", "climate change", and "climate activism." The last term has the most searches overall, but Greta's name appears to have been searched more often than the term "climate change."

The playbook for transforming a democracy into a soft autocracy was clear: Win power with a populist message against elites. Redraw parliamentary districts. Change voting laws. Harass civil society. Pack courts with judges willing to support power grabs. Enrich cronies through corruption...
