'Not the End of the World' takes a solutions-based approach to climate change :
NPR's Book of the Day There are lots of reasons to worry about climate change:
rising temperatures, rising sea levels, devastating natural disasters. But in
her new book, Not the End of the World, data scientist Hannah Ritchie says
there's actually a lot of factors trending in the right direction, like declines
in poverty rates and carbon emissions per capita. In today's episode, Ritchie
speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about why it's important to reframe our
thinking on the future of the planet, and how our decisions can actually make a
difference.
