When I start to feel overwhelmed by the climate challenges we face, I turn to Hannah Ritchie, a researcher at <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Our World in Data</a>.

I recently sat down with Hannah to talk about her terrific new book <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-ritchie/not-the-end-of-the-world/9780316536752/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Not the End of the World</a>, why it’s so hard to wrap our minds around human progress, what we would ask a time traveler about the future, and more.
