we are joined by david wallace wells, deputy editor and climate columnist for new york magazine. new book is titled "the uninhabitable earth: life after warming." david, could you respond to what also -- obvious league, she is a scandinavian activist and we all know in scandinavia, the response to climate change has been much more forceful in much earlier than in the united states. you and your book, you yourself right just "i am like every other american who spent their life place it and will fully diluted about climate justic change." first, your response to her and then-way from being complacent american to writing a book called "the uninhabitable earth." >> first, i am in awe of greta. she is not alone.. all of the children who are mobilizing on the issue have an incredible moral stature that shames us grown-ups, their parents, grandparents for what we have done and are continuing to do. i think the activism she has inspired is thrilling, actually exhilarating. you see all across europe. you see it with extinction rebellion this started in the u.k. and spreading in the u.s., a

we had the death of david castor, we had the attempted murder of ashley wallace, and we were allowedresent evidence about the death of michael wallace as well. >> so the trial begins, and the d.a. has taken the move, the bold move, to put the daughter, ashley, on the stand as the first witness. >> place your left hand on the bible, raise your right hand. >> she came home and she was like, let's get drunk. let's get just totally drunk. and she handed me a cup, and she had a cup. she told me to keep stirring the cup. i took a drink of it. >> and? >> and it tasted horrible. >> what did you say? >> and i was like, mom, this doesn't taste good. she said probably there's too much vodka in there. she took and it went back in the kitchen. she brought it back in, the cup was full. >> did you continue to drink it? >> yes. >> explain to the jury, if the cup tasted bad and you didn't enjoy it, why would you drink it? >> because i trusted her. >> what's the next thing you remember? >> waking up in the hospital with a detective asking me what i did. what did you drink? what did you do? what did yo

those are just some of the long-term effects "new york" magazine and deputy editor david wallace-wellsnes in his new book "the uninhabitable earth: life after warming." david joins me now. i just want to start with a quote from the book, in which you say it is worse, much morse than you think. the slowness of climate change is a fairy tale, perhaps as pernicious as the one who says it isn't happening at all and comes to us bundled with several others in an anthology of comforting delusion u.s., that global warming is antarctic saga unfolding remotely that is strictly a matter of sea level and coast lines and not an enveloping crisis sparing no place and leaving no life undeformed. that it's a crisis of the natural world, not the human one. i only read that because there's such nonsense going around starting at the white house, convening a panel to challenge studies that are definitive about the increasing and remarkable dangers of global warming. >> and a lot of that great research is actually being done by the defense department. for a generation, it's been the pentagon that's been mo

david wallace wells is the climate columnist for the new york magazine and author of the new book, uninhabitableakes you so worried now? it feels like there's an urgency to what you're writing. >> we're headed for some really bleak outcomes. if we don't change course on fossil fuels by the emd of the century we'll get about 4 degrees of warming, which is double all the wealth that existess in the world today. the yun says it would be hundreds of millions of climate refugees, twice as much war a as we see today because there's a relationship between temperature and conflict. that happens at the national level and also at the individual level. so rates of murder will go up. it has an impact on public health because mosquitos will be flying ever farther. it threatens to change just about every aspect of modern life as we know it and we have within our power to change that course and pull up short of 4 degrees, but we've done so little it makes me worried we won't do enough in time to avert some of these catastrophic impacts. >> the problem is, you know, that it's -- the costs are very long-term for

. >> david wallace-wells thank you very much. the new book is "under the inhabitable earth." thank you both for being on. that does did for us this is morning. stephanie rhule picks up coverage right now. >> hi there. a lot to cover this morning starting with undermining the investigations. bombshell reporting from "the new york times" detailing the president's scorched earth strategy about the investigations surrounding him. including that he asked his hand picked ag to put an ally in charge of the michael cohen case and the president, he is firing back. >> no, not at all. i don't know who gave you that. that's more fake news. no, i didn't. >> clashing with congress. brand-new reporting this morning about a fiery exchange between the acting defense secretary and senator lindsey graham over the president's plan to withdraw united states troops from syria. >>> and off to the races. just hours after throwing his hat into the 2020 ring, bernie sanders raises more than 4 million bucks surpassing his closest rivals in fund-raising intensifying a battle among democratic contenders.

david castor. we had the attempted murder of ashley wallace. as well. >> you will have no choice but to stand up and shout, "mrs. castor, you are a murderer, and for that, you will pay." >> d.a. bill fitzpatrick is a bulldog. once he sinks his teeth into something, he doesn't let go. >> chuck keller is trying his first murder case, and he's going to have to deal with the cross-examination of his client's daughter, who's gonna sit there and say, "she did this to me." that's not an easy spot for a defense lawyer to be in. >> you will decide that the wrong person is sitting in that chair. >> so the trial begins, and the d.a. has taken the move, the bold move, to put the daughter ashley on the stand as the first witness. >> put your left hand on the bible, raise your right hand. >> he starts off by establishing her as somebody the jury likes, as really a tender-hearted teen girl. >> i want to ask you about the day your dad died. >> here's this 20-year-old remembering what it was like to see her father lying on the couch, and essentially dying in fr

columnist and deputy editor at new york magazine david wallace wells joins us now. professor of atmospheric science at penn state university michael mann. >> david, how dire is it? >> it looks pretty bleak. extreme weather we're seeing now is quite terrifying but it's going to get considerably worse and if we don't change course rapidly, dramatically worse. if we get to the path we're on by the end of the century 4 degrees of warming, probably hundreds of millions of climate refugees, a global gdp20% smaller. the melting of ice sheets and all that means for sea level rise. it's bad. >> so what are three steps that you would -- what are three tangible steps that you would tell every presidential candidate that cares about this issue they should be talking about? one, two, three. >> i think it's sort of all hands on deck, all solutions are necessary. i think a dramatic carbon tax that probably approaches the scale of a ban on much carbon use. i think a really aggressive investment in green energy and major investment in rebuilding our infrastructure so it is less carbo
