      Yascha Mounk Retweeted David Wallace-Wells

      Climate change is very real and very dangerous. It's key that we be precise about what awaits us. That makes this tweet remarkable: It basically amounts to a retraction of "The Uninhabitable Earth," the most-read article in the history of New York Magazine, by its own author.https://twitter.com/dwallacewells/status/1208127954968031232 …

      Yascha Mounk added,

      David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells
      "As best as we can project, the window of possible climate futures is probably narrowing, with both the most optimistic scenarios and the most pessimistic ones seeming, now, less likely." http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/climate-change-worst-case-scenario-now-looks-unrealistic.html …

      My deep respect to @dwallacewells for reporting this news. May all journalists writing about climate change follow his lead: The facts are bad enough to justify urgent action on climate change. Attempts to scare people into action by going beyond the science will only backfire.

          Sure. But is inaccurate reporting on “worst case doom and gloom” v. “middle of the road bad” scenario really what’s driving inaction? This is such a sideshow.

          “Hmm these models not showing at least a temporary dip below 400ppm really are operating on some untested assumptions. I’m going to err on the side of complete and total inaction.” - Fox News viewer in suburban Orlando evacuating the climate change reporting lol

          "Going beyond the science" has worked really well for climate "sceptics"/deniers...

          By far the bigger risk is falling short of the science.

          Replying to @Yascha_Mounk @dwallacewells

          This story says that the unexpected drop in cost of renewables has lead to larger adoption than expected, which shifts where we end up with a "business as usual" approach, which goes from very very very very bad to very very very bad.

          And the second half of the story goes on to detail that our best case scenarios are no longer realistic - too much damage has been and is being done already.
