Unishment for any country hello and welcome to the france 24 interview. My guest warns of a planet where the economy has collapsed, the air is not readable and new diseases have been unleashed. A planet, no longer fit for humans. Wellsenario David Wallace depicts and his brutal portrait of Climate Change. It is a pleasure to welcome you. Described as a call to action. Journalist or acactivist . Journalist. The book is a work of journalism. The main job is to describe the state of science and get beyond the science into what we know or start to think about how human life beyond Climate Impact will be changed by dramatic Climate Change. Waves andhat heat natural disasters might be brought, but how it will change politics, culture and our sense of relationship to capitalism and technology. Impacts are so profound, all those relationships will change. We will live in a very different world in a a few decades, if we dont change course. In your lifetime. 2050, we will be at two degrees warming. Damages from storms and sea levell rise one hundredfold from today and hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Cities in south asia and the middle east would be so hot in summer you could not walk around outside without risking death. Inth of 2. 2. 1 degrees, we lock permanent loss of all the planet sheets, enough to drown 2 3 of the worlds major cities, if w we do not move the. We can adapt. The impacts will happen sooner. They are already here. Think about houston in the u. S. , just hit by the fifth 500 year storm in five years. This is a storm we would expect once every five centuries. Five centuturies ago, cortez had landed in mexico and no europeans were living in north america. Houston has been hit by five of those storms in the last five years. We are already living in an unprecedented world and in short order, it will become almost unrecognizable. You save is much worse than you think. Alarmist,t,iberatelely you admit. It is one very gogood way. Everyone will be motivated by different forces and will be moved by different facts and features of the story. This is a saga that is enormous, all touching and affects every asaspect of modern life. We should not expect everyone will respond in the same way. For a long time, scientists, activists and journalists were reluctant to scare the public, that they were not being h honet about what science said. As a result, the publilic was relatitively uninformed. They have a misleadingly sanguine impression of what was to come. We were told Climate Change was slow, taking place over centuries. Half of all the omissions we produce have come in the last 30 years, which means we are doing the damage ourselves. We were told about the story exclusively in terms of sealevel rise, which made us feel if we lived away from the coast, we were safe. But when you learn about economic impacts, twicece the se of the grereat depression, to te effect on conflict, which could double by the end of the century, to the effect on agriculture yields, which could fall in half, you realize this is not a story happening in one place that we can escape. Matter who you are or how wealthy you are, this story will be part of your life. We were told for a long time two degrees was the worst case we could expect. 1. 1 degrees today, already hotter than the planet has ever been in earth history. We are likely to get at t least one more degree, north of two degrees, and that level of callng, which scientists catastrophic is looking more and more like a best case scenario. For all these reasons, the public did not understand the urgency of the crisis for a long time, in part because there was not sufficient alarmism. If the science is scary, the best thing to do is to share with the public. To not share it, is patronizing. I agree that my bookok is alarming. I dont think of myself as an alarmist. All i am doing this being transparent about what science knows and trying to produce some effect where we respond to this crisisis in some way thahat approaches the scalele the sciee demands. Recent years, the language has become more alarmist, to the point that now nothing shocks anymore. We talk about lack of food, total nations disappeaearing. The lalanguage is terrifying. Emissions are on the rise. What needs to happen for the Tipping Point . We are moving in the right direction because there is a new sense of urgency. The rhetoric started with a report from last october. Fairly recent. Last couple years. It has become more intense in the last nine months with the school strikes and Extinction Rebellion in the u. K. , we have had these remarkable climate protests, unprecedented. Millions on the street expressing more concern than ever before. We are just starting to see policy changes in response with the British Parliament declaring a climate emergency. Denmark, norway, finland, net zero relatively quickly. U. S. , democratic primary, all the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on Climate Change. No pledge to reduce emissions in the history of Climate Change has ever been fulfilled. It is reasonable to be skeptical of antipromises. The fact that the government are making them, it is a sign of progress. Inin addition to the changing Political Landscape, there is a new economic conventional wisdom. It used to be the case that economists believed action was too expensive to be worth it. We are better off just growing however we can grow. That has changed in the last three years. Every economist would tell you now, we would be better off to act fast. We are just beginning to see policy change. Emissions are setting records every year. The uns as we have only 10 years to cut them in half. We are not moving too slowly in the right direction, we are still moving in the wrong direction. There are reasons for thinking that will change soon but it is clear and not moving nearly fast enough, even given the unprecedented mobilization of the last year. Just mentioned greta you spent time with her. More of a media friendly distraction . I do not think she is a distraction. Enormously grateful she has not what she has done. I am an awe personally. 15yearold sitting outside parliament by herself, now she is leading a movement of millions of schoolchildren around the world. We need more than her, but she would tell you the same. She is not trying to control policy. She is not trying to express the state of crisis in her own words, when she wass invited before congress in the u. S. , she declined, and handed over the report. You dont need me to tell you, just listen to the scientists. Her message is not selfaggrandizement or politicizing the issue. She just wants the leaders of the world to divide policy as described by scientists and that message is inarguable, which is one of the reasons she has been such a powerful spokesperson. It has been helpful she thinks so clearly about the matter of intergenerational justice and is able to articulate in ways no adult can deny that her generation will be suffering because of the indifference of people of our age and older. That has had an effect, not just on teenagers, but also adults, who may feel guilty for how little they have done on this issue to this point. I wouldnt want to put her in charge of policy but i am enormously grateful and exhilarated those protest movements are unfolding because theyre generally changing the shape of the Political Landscape and making much more ambition on climate possible then i would have thought possible one year ago. Said you are a journalist more than an activist. What can you do as an individual to contribute to the direction we need to go. Having less children . Not eating meat . Not flying . Voting . This crisis is too big to address with anything but politics. We need a thorough transformation of nearly every aspectct of modern life. Nearly every aspect of modern life produces carbon footprint. If we have a hope of stabilizing the temperature at any level, not even comparable, even a terrible level, if we want the warming to stop ever, we need to not just reduce emissions. We need to zero them out. As an endgame, we need to get to a place where all our food d is raisising ways that does not produce our carbon, electricity, agriculture, transportation does not produce carbon. To do that, at anything like this be required means politics. You and i cannot build a new electric grid. We cannot deploy a nation if enough of us stop line, thatat would force the i industo change. There is a way individual action can bring about largescale change but it is only important as a steppingstone to change. There are other reasons why it is valuable. It is good to live within your own values and believe youre living in accordance with the way you see the world and want to see the world. It is good to signal to those around you that you care about the issue. So many people carry it around privately. Even discussing it with loved ones and friends means it is the beginning of a political action. Personally, more than that, it is good to vote to support people who prioritize Climate Action and hold those in Office Accountable to promises made and ideally to put extra pressure in the form of protests on the powers that be [drums beating rhythmically] men hey man for more than 4 decades, Papua New Guinea was my home base to cover s some incredible stories from natural disasters, to political coups and cicivil wars.
