Summary

Nathaniel Rich is a novelist and a writer-at-large for The New York Times Magazine. His most recent article is "Losing Earth: The Decade We Almost Stopped Climate Change." “There’s a huge opportunity with climate change because we talk a lot about the political issue with it, the industry story and the scientific story, but we don’t talk about the human story. And I would say that not only is it a big human story, but it is the human story. ... With every step of the ladder that we’ve advanced, we’re borrowing from our future. I don’t think we’ve reckoned with that in a serious way.” Thanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode. @NathanielRich nathanielrich.com Rich on Longform Longform Podcast #96: Nathaniel Rich [00:30] King Zeno (MCD • 2018) [1:30] "Losing Earth: The Decade We Almost Stopped Climate Change" (New York Times Magazine • Aug 2018) [4:10] "Fractured Lands: How the Arab World Came Apart" (Scott Anderson • New York Times Magazine • Aug 2018) [45:30] "The Problem With The New York Times’ Big Story on Climate Change" (Robinson Meyer • The Atlantic • Aug 2018) [57:59] No Immediate Danger: Volume One of Carbon Ideologies (William Vollmann • Viking • 2018) [58:00] No Good Alternative: Volume Two of Carbon Ideologies (William Vollmann • Viking • 2018) Learn more about your ad choices.
