After Alarmism

David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth, looks back at 2020 and what it means for our climate future. He delivers a surprisingly large dose of optimism, while reminding us that things are bad and will be worse. Key quote: «For a climate alarmist like me, seeing clearly the state of the planet’s future now requires a conspicuous kind of double vision, in which a guarded optimism seems perhaps as reasonable as panic.
