The Majority Report with Sam Seder

Journalist David Wallace-Wells (@dwallacewells), author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, joins us.

On today's show: Alabama public TV pulls the 'Arthur' episode where two guys get married; Steven Crowder reacts. Nancy Pelosi still doesn't want impeachment proceedings, for reasons that all start with "p."

Journalist David Wallace-Wells (@dwallacewells), author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming and deputy editor of New York Magazine, joins us. How bad is the climate change threat, really? How one degree of warming will lead to 150 million additional deaths a year. The best use of our current efforts to counter climate change. The choice developing nations face between rapid economic growth that will lift people out of poverty and abiding by best carbon practices. How do we even get to a "we" when we have a system of global market competition?

The crew engages in a spirited discussion of what is to be done.

On the fun half: Study on 1960s pre-K program finds intergenerational benefits. Ben Carson confuses home foreclosures with cookies when grilled by Rep. Katie Porter. Trump complains judge only ruled in favor of Dem subpoena for his financial records because he's an Obama appointee. Jerry Nadler explains why oversight committee will hold McGahn in contempt. Jesse Watters endorses billionaires paying off student loan debt. Trump is pissed Buttigieg and Democrats are on Fox News. Leftist milkshakes "Ilhan must go" truck billboard. Ed Milliband gets egged, keeps calm and carries on. Laura Ingraham in 2018: These migrant camps are like "summer camp" or "boarding schools." Ben Shapiro defends Laura Ingraham's comments, calls out Buttigieg for secret extremism.
