Climate change is simple.
We started burning fossil fuels during the industrial revolution, adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
As a direct consequence - due to well understood physics - global temperatures started to increase.
We are now experiencing the consequences.

For this week's @NewYorker, I wrote about the Liver King, the carnivore diet, the killer ape theory, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, things Neanderthals ate, sexy mice that die early, Çatalhöyük, and the crisis of masculinity, among other topics: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

🚙 A car is parked 92% of the time.
🚗 A car spends 20% of its driving time looking for parking.
🚙 Its 5 seats only move ø 1.5 people.
🚗 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels.
🚙 A road at peak throughput is only 10% covered with cars.
Sounds efficient ?

How did the rise of capitalism affect human welfare? Did it make poverty better or worse? Where did progress come from?
We have a new study that explores these questions, looking at 500 years of data. It's a troubling but also inspiring story... 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We need to stop thinking like consumers living in an economy.
And start thinking like organisms living in an ecosystem.
