What we seen around the world thihis time especiciay i do know partners as was mentioned by the executive director of the World Food Program i is that a lot of peope coming together yeah i think what we are witnessing is a Global Situation im not going to connected well where most be ablele. Im yeah. Im the promises bear fruit and that we should seeee the support coming to some of the poorest nations in the world i think everybody watching a live tv george allowed back those words i certainly will which for me yet from the World Food Program thank you sir for giving uss dallas down. Before thank you fofor joining. And thats this bulletin able to stop come across. Hello and welcome to the france twenty four interview im r. A. Dundas now my guest tododay warns of a planet with economy has collapsed the aries on breathable you does it does have been on each. Planet longerer feed fish. Its the greens david will house the p. In his brutal poor of Climate Change in the book the uninhabitable earth eight story of the future yeah also defeated out of new York Magazine its a pleasure to welcome David Wallace wells. The front post areas yeah. This book is often described as a action. Does wells journalist or activist myself as a journalist and i think of the book as a work of i was in which is to say i think its my job. Is to describe the state science. And to get the sciencealert into what we know or can start thinking about how might be. An impact. Medic climbed and so not just. What he waves natural my be brought but change apollo now geopolitics our culture our sense of our relationship listen to technology and i think the tax from Climate Change likely profound and all those relationships will be changed to well be living in a different lessons if you die if we dont change. Course engine a little earlier your life. Yeah twenty fifteen course will be warming thatt w will mean wil have the strongest damages from storms and Sea Level Rise growing a hundred fold from where they are today we have hundndreds of f millions of clie which is across the u. S. Cities in south asia middle east would be so high. Hes probably about two point one degrees we put a lock in the permanent loss of all of the planets i sheets which would mean. Over centuries. Eighty meters of sea. After trial on two thirds of the worlds cities if we didnt move them that impact will take place over centuries so we can adapt but some of these other impacts are going to have been. Much much sooner in fact theyre already here i think about houston in the united states. City by its five hundred year storm. In five years this is a storm we expect to see once every five centuries. Five six years ago. Another cortez had just landed in mexico no europeans were living in north america so were talking about. A storm that was supposed to hit once in all that time and distance it by five of them in the last five years. So were already living in unprecedented world. And in very short order it will become almost wrecking ball thank. You its worse much i see thinks these air flight its very slow. All the books they deleliberately alarm i if youd memeet yoursrself. Hes to get people to act i thihink its one very good way i think im everyone will be. Treated a friend force. Will be. This i think is a that is the norm all touching it every aspect of life and we should expect that every were to it inverse the same way but i think for a very long time scientists and activists and certainly journalists were so reluctant to scarere the public that they werent actually being honest about what the scicience says ad the result the public i t think was relatitively uninformed they have. Only been of what was. We long told me change is very slow so that is took place over centuries. In facact halff of al the emissions weve produced in the entire history of humanity ive come in just the last thirty years which means were doing this damage very much ourselves. We were told about the story almost exclusively in Sea Level Rise which meant we could feel if we lived anywhere but the coast we were safe. But the learn about the Economic Impact good for you. Economic decline twice t the size as the Great Depression and permanent. Effect on select which will by the end of the century from change course to the fact i recall builds. And this. Court is that this. Store is happening in one particular place that can. No matter who you are no matter how wealthy you are. This story will be part of your story over the centuries. So its an all encompassing saga. And we were told for a long time. That two degrees was about the case that we could accept point one degrees. Which is all. On the planet has. Been earths entire his. Other were likely toto get at least two reasons at least one. Degree north of two degrees. That lead of what. I just. Trust me on the nations of the world well jennifer. Is now more more like a case. Of his reasons i public in really understand of the crisisis for a long time. In part because there wasnt sufficient. Alarmism this is very. Thing to do is share with the public to share it is. And so i that my book is alarming i dontt realy think of myself as an alarmist because i think that all im doing is being transparent about what the Scientific Community does and then to. Some affecting the reader where we respopond to this crisis. In some way that approaches the scale that the scientists often happens as a fellow journalist who also covers Climate Change it also they have the impression that in recent years the language has been cop more alarmist to the point that now nothing shocks anymore we talk about coping toyota of the lack of food of f every. Totalal bece i should i do. The languages fine s scenarios to terrifying emissions are on the rise on the other hand what needs to happen for these so called Tipping Point to happen. Well i think were moving in the right direction i think part of that is because there is. A new. Urgency rhetoriric that i thinks good with. The u. N. s iptc report l last october. He sent the stranger yeah last couple of years and its become even more intense even over the last nine months. With credit and were going to school strikes Extinction Rebellion in the u. K. Sunrise movement in the us we had these. Really remarkable im kind of protest movements unprecedented actually millions of people on the street expressing much more concerned than have ever been expressed before. And were just starting to see. See check. Must to it it is part. An emergency denmark norway finland coming to net zero. Relatively quickly and in the a democratic primary in which all of the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on Climate Change now considering that no pledge to reduce emissions in the history of Climate Change has ever been fulfilled its reasonable to be skeptical of some of these sort of empty promises and yet the fact that the governments are making them. Is i think we all sign of some proper. I think it reflects in addition to the changing. Landscape the fact that t there is a new economic conventionalal wisdom. It is to be the case the communist believe that action on Climate Change was. Too expensive to be worth it. They said the attacks are going to be relatively small and were better off just growing however we can grow. But thats really changed over the last few years and now almost every economist would tell you. Will be better off we act faster rather than slower. I think thats the reason why were just getting this policy change. But as you note. Missions setting records every year. The u. N. s. I have ten years to have them to cut them in half and were not just moving. Slowly in the right direction werere still moving n direct. I think the reason for. Taking the change. The movie nearly fast enough. Even given the unp. My weve seen over the last year. May twenty question you just mentioned china youve actually spent some time withth her opening your opinion just in times of. Is she the best new. Comic movies in years or is it really it she more of a media friendly distraction distraction from the real topic well i dont think that shes a distraction at all im enormously if all. Is done which is. Im sorry an off. First you know. She was a friendless fifth year old sitting outside Swedish Parliament by herself and now she is. Leading a movement of millions of School Children all around the world. And i think that we need more than greta but she would tell you the same. Shes shes not trying to take control of policy or ask for particular concessions. Shes given im trying to. Express the state of the crisis in her own words when she was invited to the us to o give testimony before congress. She declined. And just over the i. P. C. Reporter ted you dont need to tell you to listen sign. Is so her message is not one. Brand in order. You know it shes not trying to be politicize the issue personally shes just once the leaders of the world. To devise policy response to the crisis as its described by the world scientists. And i think that message is almost an arguable which is one of the reasons why i think shes been such a powerful spokesperson. I think its also been very helpful that she thinks so clearly about. The matter of intergenerational justice. And able to articulate in ways that no adult can deny that her generationon will be suffering. The indifference of people of our age and older and i think. That is technically on the tip of the work. But possibly also the adulult world may feel guily for. Well they theyve done shootist. And in one. Credit of Global Climate lets see i want to but it insurable in charge of Global Climate policy. Y. But im enormously. Grateful an exam did that protest movements are on fulton because they are jack on the charging the shape of. The Political Landscape and make. Friend on on climb. Pasta i would give. Small go. You too that the direction we need to go is it about having less children is about not eating meat not flying voting what can an individual do. The way that i see it is that this crisis is too big to address. With anything but politics we need a thorough transformation of nearly every aspect of modern life because really every aspect of modern life produces a carbon footprint. And if we have a hope of stabilizing the worlds temperaturee at any level. Not even a comfortable even a terrible. Level if we wanant the warming to stop ever we need not just to reduce emissions. Need to completely zero them out and that means at least as a kind of an end game we need to get to a place where all of our food is reduceded in ways that doesnt produce carbon. Our actual for carbon our Electricity Generation doesnt. Ive been our transfer. Doesnt produce carbon in our industry doesnt just carbon. That it end. And anything this is higher. Up. But its only important as a stepping stone to those changes and i i think there are other reasons why its valuable to take action as an individual to. First of all its good to live with on your own within your own values and believe the unicorn. If you see the world and want to see the world. Im its also good to signal to those around you that you care about this issue because so many people. Carry climbing anxiety around privately and i think even discussing it with their loved ones in the family and friends. Means its the beginning of a political but personally i think even m more than that its good to vote to support people who. Are tight connection. To was were in Office Accountable to the promises they made for. And i we also to put extra political pressure in the form of. Stuff and power be. Because we have. Every country. Even when. You are k. To the principle of. Action those politics are moving far too slowly. David wallace wells a pleasure to have you here in the france twenty four stutudens thanks for being here.
