Summary of Michael Shellenberger's Apocalypse Never

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The New York Times and The Washington Post reported on the dangers of climate change, which was based on a special report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They warned that warming of 1. 5 degrees Celsius would cause long-lasting or irreversible harm.

#2 Climate change is making wildfires worse, and in some cases, even causing them.

#3 The impact of climate change is dwarfed by the 92 percent decline in the decadal death toll from natural disasters since its peak in the 1920s. In the 2010s, just 0. 4 million people died from natural disasters.

#4 The world is still very much capable of producing food, even with climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations finds that crop yields will increase significantly under a wide range of climate change scenarios.
