“The Uninhabitable Earth” by Wallace-Wells’ made me think about the current and past state of our climate. The reading shows the effects that climate change has on our generations and the different subheadings talk about all the problems that have been occurring throughout the world. “Many people perceive climate change as a sort of moral and economic debt, accumulated since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and now come due after several centuries – a helpful perspective, in a way, since it is the carbon-burning processes that began in 18th-century England that lit the fuse of everything that followed.” This quotation shows that the occurrence of past events such as the Industrial Revolution have changed our view on the world’s carbon usage activity.
I think this article also just informs the general population that we need to do something to fix problems around the world such as: heat waves, the end of food, poisoned oceans, etc. If more people are well-known to these negatives, they would try to make a change that will help the world have a more essential environment.
