Slow Burn
The Hidden Costs of a Warming World
Princeton UP, 2024
Sobre o que é?
To better address climate change, shift your focus from apocalyptic possibilities to slower, more subtle effects.
Recommendation
Thinking “statistically” — rather than relying on apocalyptic headlines, personal experience, or intuition — is vital if humanity wants to mitigate the harms of climate change, economist R. Jisung Park writes. There are many subtle ways that a slowly warming planet affects social and economic well-being, including reduced learning outcomes, lower productivity, and exacerbated socioeconomic inequity. Problem-solvers and policymakers must consider these less catastrophic “hidden costs” and seek locally focused solutions that allow people to adapt to a slowly warming planet.
