b'David Wallace-Wells is the deputy editor of New York and the author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming.\\n\\n\\u201cBetween 1.5 degrees and 2 degrees of warming, just that extra half degree of warming, is going to kill 150 million people from air pollution alone. That\\u2019s 25 times the death toll of the Holocaust. And when I say that to people, their eyes open. They\\u2019re like oh my god, this is suffering on such an unconscionable scale. And it is. But 9 million people are dying already every year from air pollution. That\\u2019s a Holocaust every year, right now. And our lives aren\\u2019t meaningfully oriented around those people and those deaths. And very few people we know have their lives meaningfully oriented around those people and those deaths. And I think it\\u2019s quite likely that, going forward, those impulses of compartmentalization and denial and narcissism will continue to govern our response to this crisis. Which is tragic.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, The Great Courses Plus, The Primary Ride Home Podcast, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming\\n\\n\\n@dwallacewells\\n\\n\\nWallace-Wells on Longform\\n\\n\\n[3:45] "When Will the Planet Be Too Hot for Humans?
