Description of Pictures: How Will Climate Change Transform American Democracy? How Will Climate Change Transform American Democracy?
If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. In California, wildfires now rage year-round, impacting thousands of lives. Across the U.S., “500-year” storms pummel communities month after month, and floods displace tens of millions annually. It’s not just an environmental catastrophe we have to worry about. The relentless climate change-related disasters also threaten to strain the very underpinnings of American democracy: uprooting communities, destroying tax bases, increasing racial and class inequalities, reducing trust in government and creating a less stable world beyond our borders. But just as climate change is a human-made disaster, its solutions can be too. So how do we plan for such a future? And how do we work to prevent and mitigate the worst of it?
Join the New America Fellows Program and Future Tense for a conversation with David Wallace-Wells, author of the New York Times bestselling book The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, and Vann Newkirk, Staff Writer at the Atlantic, about the far-reaching impacts of climate change and steps policymakers and citizens can take to address short-term threats and build long-term strategies for resilience.
Copies of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming will be available for purchase through our bookselling partner Solid State Books.
The author was interviewed by Vann R. Newkirk II with New America.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
