Uninhabitable Earth

David Wallace-Wells is Deputy editor and climate columnist for New York magazine. His book “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming” is available now and is causing a stir around the world.

Its 2 hours, so it is a bit of an investment to watch but well worth the listen and easier than reading the book. We are in serious trouble and not really understanding the challenges before us. This is very well informed, David Wallace-Wells really knows his stuff.. but when it comes to solutions it is really revealing that he doesn’t mention biology once. The solutions are beyond technology and sociology but a change with our relationship with this living planet – so there is something really revealing about the framing of the problem and the solution.

I am sure there are shorter interviews with the author, but Rogan has a very easy and chatty manner and makes this challenging subject approachable, it is a good listen and helps us frame responses going forward.
