The clock is ticking, literally. In cities around the world, such as New York, Berlin and Paris, giant clocks are reminding us the number of years we have left before climate change stops being a challenge and becomes a sentence, a death sentence.
Over the years I’ve kept a copy of a 2004 National Geographic with the cover of a burning forest that reads “Global Warming, Bulletins from a Warmer World.” I am sure the magazine started reporting on the issue way before then. Other issues had followed with similar headlines, such as “The Big Thaw, Ice on the Run, Seas on the Rise” (2007) and “Cool It. The Climate Issue” (2015).

NYT Why Should We Ever Return to Living and Working So Close Together?
It’s weird that the author doesn’t bother to mention this summer’s protests and riots when talking about the urban flight. In Philadelphia, which is the closest major metro to me, ATMs were being blown up on blocks that I, as a tourist, used to walk through. Murders have spiked hard. Philly is also suffering from increasing urban problems like permanent homeless encampments on the Parkway. A homeless man was stabbed to death last fall in Rittenhouse square, one of the richest quarters of the city, and it’s only gotten worse.
