Episode notes

Since its constitution was passed in 19 forty three, lebanese society has that the president is always going to be a soni te. The rules governing marriage and divorce and education differ from group to group. Growing athlenic and religious diversity might undermine support for the welfar state or other forms of public goods. And thereis a problem that we will aim so low in how to build ovhers societies that we end up with deeply fragmented societies.

David Wallace-Wells is one of the foremost journalists covering climate change. A writer at The New York Times and a columnist at The New York Times Magazine, Wallace-Wells is the author of the best-selling book The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His New York Magazine article of the same name was the most read in the magazine’s history.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and David Wallace-Wells discuss why the worst scenarios for the future of climate outcomes have become less likely over the course of the last years; how much damage climate change is nevertheless likely to wreak; and what political, economic, and technological solutions might help humanity deal with this urgent challenge.
