Ten Million a Year

1/15/2022

In this essay, David Wallace-Wells addresses the urgency and severity of the climate crisis we are facing. He discusses the staggering statistic that, according to recent studies, air pollution caused by fossil fuel emissions is responsible for ten million premature deaths every year. Wallace-Wells argues that this death toll is not only a result of climate change but also the immediate health impacts of pollution. The essay emphasizes the need for immediate action to address the climate crisis and transition to cleaner energy sources to protect human lives and the planet.
