A frightening new book tells us that never in recorded history has the planet Earth warmed at the speed that it is warming now. One estimate says it is heating up ten times faster than at any point in the last 66 million years. The title of the book is “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming.” Joining Bob to discuss our planet’s future is author David Wallace-Wells, who is also a columnist and deputy editor at New York magazine.
