Frog watching: charting climate change's impact in the here and now
For the past two years I have been volunteering for a citizen science project that monitors how frogs are dealing with a warming world. This essay explores the idea of climate change not as a remote event far into the future or at distant locations but right here at our own doorstep. It describes going out into the winter night, 13 year-old-daughter in tow, as a frog-watching volunteer.
