Episode 1442: Climate Change And Our Uninhabitable Earth – Worse Than You Think
“It is, I promise, worse than you think.”
“Oh, it could get *very* bad.” So begins the Rolling Stone excerpt of “Falter,” the new book by the great @billmckibben. The headline is “This Is How Human Extinction Could Play Out.” https://t.co/CYt9dOQaiM

Our guest today is David Wallace-Wells, author of the New York Times bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth – which looks at the devastating consequences and implications – some inevitable, some still just potential – of climate change.
We talk to David about how warming is going to change the world, whether our political systems are capable of reacting to this civilisational challenge, and why, despite all the evidence, he hasn’t yet abandoned hope.
“Most high-income countries have substantially shorter work hours and significantly smaller carbon footprints than the US. For example, the average German worker toils 23% fewer hours than their American counterpart, and emits 46% less carbon.” https://t.co/dp0QqNSvsF
