Channel: New America
Date: 2019-05-24

New America CA hosted a conversation at Bloomberg Beta with New York Times best-selling author David Wallace-Wells. His recent book, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, explores the far-reaching impacts of climate change and steps policymakers and citizens can take to address short-term threats and build long-term strategies for resilience. This discussion explores why it’s not just an environmental catastrophe we have to worry about. Climate change-related disasters are creating a less stable world and threatening the underpinnings of our democracy: uprooting communities, destroying tax bases, and increasing racial and class inequalities.

We are dedicated to renewing America by continuing the quest to realize our nation's highest ideals, honestly confronting the challenges caused by rapid technological and social change, and seizing the opportunities those changes create.
