This book by David Wallace-Wells came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: John Doerr. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible--food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation.
“a recent book by David Wallace Wells called The Uninhabitable Earth. I recommend it. It's a terrifying picture of the coming devastation.”— John Doerr
