We think we know what’s at stake when it comes to climate change, and we often treat it as if it’s tomorrow’s problem. The real story is much, much more urgent. We have released more carbon into the atmosphere over the last thirty years than in the rest of human history, bringing the planet to the brink of climate catastrophe in less than a generation. And yet we still think of climate action as a peripheral concern; a ‘nice to have’ once our more pressing priorities are taken care of. New York magazine deputy editor and viral sensation David Wallace-Wells paints a disturbing picture of what we’re up against, warning of the real human costs and irrevocable planetary damage that climate change will bring – and sooner than we think. No longer can we live in ignorance or denial. He issues an urgent call to arms, imploring us to change the way we think and talk about our planet’s future. SUBSCRIBE to our channel!

Dr. David Zaber is a private environmental consultant working in the fields of sustainable natural resources and agricultural management. Dr. Zaber received his Ph.D. in Resource Ecology and Management from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment. The science of human behavioral ecology helps us to understand resource use conflicts. In this talk, he stresses how Human perception is evolved and how certain aspects can lead people to pay less attention to relevant environmental problems and threats and these tendencies often mesh with patterns of environmental impacts in ways that impede reaching consensus and solutions. He suggests that Bridging this "Perception Gap" can provide a template for environmental activism and protection.
