Hi all,

Here is the latest issue of the Weekly Anthropocene! This week, we present articles on the world energy system, protecting great apes from COVID-19, our first-ever book review, and more!

If you're not familiar with this newsletter, the Weekly Anthropocene is a weekly roundup of selected news stories highlighting the interactions between humanity and the rest of life on Earth. The name "Anthropocene" in Greek means "Age of Humans." The term was popularized by Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist who thought that we should categorize the age we are living in as a new geologic epoch, in recognition of the fact that the primary force shaping the planet is now humanity.  

As ever, we encourage you to submit any articles, poems, questions, or suggestions. If you disagree with something we say, we'd be happy to publish your perspective (and our response to your perspective). We're serious-if you have something to say or ask, we'd love to publish it.

Thanks for reading,

Sam Matey.
