Not the End of the World | Hannah Ritchie

Why it is included:

The "Reality Check." In a world drowning in "Doomerism," Hannah Ritchie provides the data to prove that we are already winning.

As the lead researcher at Our World in Data, she presents rigorous evidence that we have decoupled economic growth from carbon emissions and are approaching peak pollution.

We include this to provide the Factual Bedrock for our optimism. It proves that "Imaginative Courage" is not a delusion, but a statistically supported stance.

It transforms sustainability from a moral sacrifice into a solvable engineering problem, giving us the confidence to push through the final mile of the transition.
