Losing Earth
Nathaniel Rich and George Steinmetz
Since the Industrial Revolution, the Earth has already warmed more than one degree Celsius. If it warms two degrees, coral reefs will become extinct. Three-degree warming will lead to forests in the Arctic and the loss of most coastal cities. Five degree warming: perhaps the end of human civilization. Did it have to be this way? Nathaniel Rich examines a critical period—1979 to 1989—when we almost moved in another direction. His article, with photos by George Steinmetz, takes up the entire edition of the New York Times Magazine. Beyond funding the project, the Pulitzer Center produced curricular materials to foster vital classroom conversations about the fate of the Earth.
