SUMMARY:David Wallace-Wells
DESCRIPTION:David Wallace-Wells is an acclaimed columnist and staff writer for The New York Times. Neither a scientist nor an environmental activist per se\, Wallace-Wells is a celebrated climate change speaker and journalist who uses the power of storytelling to move the needle on climate action. He also writes a weekly newsletter on climate change\, technology and the future of the planet\, themes that will frame his lecture opening Chautauqua’s Week Four theme\, “Wasted: Our Era of Disposability.”  \nWallace-Wells is the author of The New York Times bestselling book about the consequences of global warming\, The Uninhabitable Earth. His book looks beyond what needs to be done\, to consider what the world will actually look like if we don’t move fast. It predicted much of the dizzying\, disorienting situation we’re in now — not just the growth of pandemics\, but the cascading way that multiple climate-fueled crises undermine our ability to respond effectively to any single one. He highlights that stabilizing the world’s climate is the underlying solution that also can achieve prosperity\, justice and equality of all kinds.  \nHe has also written widely on the Covid-19 pandemic\, bringing vital reporting and analysis to science and policy coverage. Wallace-Wells was previously the deputy editor at New York magazine\, where he wrote a column on climate change\, and where his viral cover story “The Uninhabitable Earth” was met with widespread acclaim\, paving the way for his book. Formerly the deputy editor of The Paris Review\, and a National Fellow at the New America Foundation\, he was the co-host of the podcast “2038\,” which interrogated predictions about the next two decades.
