Michael Shellenberger: Reports of a Coming Climate Catastrophe Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

"If you make your graph tall enough and you cherry-pick a particular period of time, you can make anything look scary. It's really what they don't show you," says longtime environmental activist Michael Shellenberger.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres recently said a new U.N. climate change report was a "code red for humanity." How should people understand the findings of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report? When it comes to heat waves, forest fires, and sea-level rise, what are journalists today often not telling us?

Shellenberger is the founder and president of the nonprofit Environmental Progress and the author of "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All."
