Why Climate Change is Gravely Worse Than Feared

According to American author David Wallace-Wells, there is a jarring gap between academic research and how climate change is represented in the media.

His new book, worryingly titled, ‘The Uninhabitable Earth’ is a warning that simply more can and must be done.

In a wide-ranging interview with ITV News Science Editor Tom Clarke, Wallace-Wells describes how he became a “quasi-activist” during his research, how an alarmist approach can be effective, the damning failure of the Paris Agreement, and how China could play a key role in reducing global warming.
