Best Podcast #1
The Joe Rogan Experience #1259 With David Wallace-Wells
A long form conversation hosted by comedian Joe Rogan, The Joe Rogan Experience podcast features Rogan’s friends and guests and has included comedians, actors, musicians, MMA fighters, authors, artists, and beyond.
In this conversation, Rogan discusses climate change with David Wallace-Wells, deputy editor and climate columnist for New York magazine. Wallace-Wells is author of the important book, The Uninhabitable Earth.
One of my biggest takeaways from Wallace-Wells comes from an earlier podcast with Chris Hayes and reiterated in this talk with Rogan. In that conversation with Hayes, Wallace-Wells states:
“But everything we’re now learning about the impacts (of climate change) show us that’s it’s a totally all-encompassing story. So economic impacts. The researchers say that by the end of the century if we don’t take action our global GDP will be at least 20 percent smaller than it would be without climate change. We could have global climate damages of $600 trillion, which is double all the wealth that exists in the world today. We’d have hundreds of millions of climate refugees. We would have twice as much war or more. And while temperature increases violence between states, it also increases violence between people. So there’d be more murder, more rape, more domestic assault. It also raises the incidents of mental illness. It changes rates of ADHD and autism. The impacts are on the development of babies even in utero so you can see; the number of days that a baby is in the womb that were over 90 degrees, you can see that on their lifetime earnings.”

Study: Kids Who Spend Time in Nature Become Happier Adults
Justin Housman of Adventure Journal wrote about a Danish study linking time spent in nature to happiness as adults. Housman writes:
“Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark published yet another study about the outside/good health connection that may provide the most conclusive evidence yet. Getting outside, walking around, hearing the rustle of trees, feeling the wind on our face, the rain on our backs, the sun on our skin—the more we do that as kids, the happier we are as adults, their study suggests. And this was one heck of a study.
From 1985 until 2013, the researchers combed data from one million Danish residents. They looked at everything from income to educational level, history of familial mental illness, as well as how much green space surrounded where the residents had grown up. Because they had so much data to work with, the researchers were able to try and control for socioeconomic factors—kids who grow up wealthier probably have more access to green space, for example. Yet even factoring those discrepancies in, researchers found that being raised surrounded by nature as a child meant a 55 percent lower incidence of developing mental health issues as adults. Even better, it seemed that the more time children spent in nature, the better as far as mental health outcomes were concerned.”
