Climate writing Since 2017, Wallace-Wells has written extensively about
climate change in
New York magazine. Wallace-Wells has said that he is optimistic about the earth's environmental future but remains cautious. He has said that no matter the degree of environmental damage, "it will always be the case that the next decade could contain more warming, and more suffering, or less warming and less suffering." His best known work is "
The Uninhabitable Earth", an article published July 9, 2017 in
New York magazine. Although the essay received mixed to negative criticism from many scientists, it was considered an impactful work by some reviewers. Wallace-Wells later turned the work into a full-length
book of the same name, published in 2019. Both works are characterized by speculation regarding climate change's potential to dramatically impact human life, which Wallace-Wells describes in "meticulous and terrifying detail". Writing in
The Guardian in 2021, Wallace‑Wells argues that the scale of
climate change adaptation required globally is unprecedented, and Wallace‑Wells opines that "the world's vanguard infrastructure is failing in today's climate, which is the most benign we will ever see again". == Works ==
