What If We Stopped Pretending? by Jonathan Franzen
medium-paced
2.25
Some good points are made, but there's not enough evidence and data to support everything he says throughout the essay.
His main 'realistic' view - that we should essentially give up on climate action and focus on conservation - didn't really ring true as his whole basis for climate change was the 2 degree increase in the world's temperature. Although that is considered the point of no return, it can certainly get worse and human's carbon emissions may affect the speed at which this occurs.
