.<\/p>\n<p>here are five things we talked about at the event:<\/p>\n<h2>1.&nbsp;we&#8217;ve been treating the median climate change outcome as a worst case scenario, when&nbsp;there is still half a bell curve of&nbsp;scenarios that could be worse.<\/h2>\n<p>the paris climate accord set a goal to keep global climate conditions from surpassing 2\u00b0 celsius.&nbsp;however, failing to reach this goal will result in disastrous consequences \u2014 and this was the focus of wallace-wells&#8217;&nbsp;article.&nbsp;within the climate conversation wallace-wells said there seems to be a lack of urgency.&nbsp;modeling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/interactive\/2013\/sep\/27\/climate-change-how-hot-lifetime-interactive\">shows<\/a> that if emissions continue to rise at the same rate, by the end of the century the world could face temperatures as high as 6\u00b0 celsius&nbsp;above pre-industrial levels.&nbsp;when climate change scenarios are brought up, we often assume countries will react.&nbsp;however, there is the probability that the world community will not act, or act quickly enough.&nbsp;wallace-wells wanted to emphasize that current conversations do not go far enough in assessing the real risks of climate change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. the world will not be saved by your decision to not eat beef.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cultimately, the world will not be saved by personal consumption choices,&#8221; wallace-wells said. &#8220;it will be saved by political decisions and frameworks of cooperation between governments around the world.\u201d&nbsp; so why does wallace-wells think government intervention is the only way we&#8217;re going to see real solutions to climate change? because governments have the ability to change and enforce behavior.&nbsp;while it\u2019s great that we as environmentalists are looking out for the planet in our daily decisions, that alone is not enough.&nbsp;everyone will be affected and, as such, our behaviors&nbsp;need to be adjusted to reduce our impact on a much larger scale.<\/p>\n<h2>3. it\u2019s more important to convince those who already care about climate to care <em>more,&nbsp;<\/em>than it is to convince climate-deniers to believe in the cause.<\/h2>\n<p>the likelihood of a climate-denier&nbsp;whole-heartedly taking on the issue of climate change is slim to none. wallace-wells said it is more productive to convince those who <em>do<\/em> understand the problem, to be more concerned about the issue.&nbsp;in a recent gallup <a href=\"http:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/190253\/worry-terror-attacks-high-not-top-concern.aspx?g_source=politics&amp;g_medium=lead&amp;g_campaign=tiles\">poll<\/a>, only 33% of americans were worried about climate change a \u201cgreat deal.\u201d&nbsp;getting americans to take action on climate change is difficult, as it\u2019s not an issue that affects our day-to-day lifestyles.&nbsp;as environmentalists, we need to do a better job communicating the risks of climate change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4.&nbsp;it\u2019s not an information issue, it\u2019s an engagement issue.<\/h2>\n<p>we need to re-frame how we engage people on climate change.&nbsp;while climate scientists are great when it comes research and data analysis, they are not the best communicators.&nbsp;it is the job of those who are engaged, to use storytelling as a way to spread awareness on the immense risks the future holds, due to climate change.&nbsp;while &#8220;the inhabitable earth&#8221; received criticism, wallace-wells utilized the power of story to&nbsp;concern people about&nbsp;the issue.<\/p>\n<h2>5.&nbsp;a single generation of people has caused the earth to shift from stability to instability.&nbsp;it\u2019s our generation that is going to fix it.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>greenhouse gas emissions started as a result of the industrial revolution.&nbsp;however, it wasn&#8217;t until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2es.org\/content\/international-emissions\/\">after world war ii<\/a> that global emissions began to skyrocket.&nbsp;unfortunately, we are talking about a single generation that neglected to consider the impacts of pollution.&nbsp;it\u2019s now up to our generation, to learn from the mistakes of the past and find a solution.&nbsp; a sustainable future depends on the actions we take today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>david wallace-wells, the author of the new york magazine piece &#8220;the uninhabitable earth,&#8221;
