- The world is waking up to a new reality: once-in-a century floods are now happening three times a year; bushfires are the new norm.
The surface area of the Arctic’s polar ice caps is rapidly decreasing, while Antarctica’s largest ice shelf is crumbling. These are effects of the planet’s increased temperature.
Extreme heat is the most direct and deadly consequence of our hellbent consumption of fossil fuels. It is a first order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. And as the temperature rises, it will reveal fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy, and our values.
Join Jeff Goodell, award-winning environmental journalist and author of Heat, for a discussion about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing, and what we can do to stop it.

Exponentially accelerating changing climate with cascading feedback loops is such a drag
Having had heatstroke a few more times than is healthy, (hazards of being an Australian glassblower in a past career) I understand and have a respect for, the deadly force of heat.
You mean to say agriculture is far more complex than Bill would have us believe?
It is much worse than most people realise 😢
Barton Springs must be popular when there have been over 40 days over 38 degrees in Austin.
It's way more than CO2. It's water scarcity,mass extinction, pollution,soil degradation,ocean acidification and death zones etc
Interesting that you take a pram on a hike into a canyon along with your pet dog on a 42 degree day.
Silly actions such as this is hardly typical of a threat to human existence, even the author can walk 12 blocks on a 45 degree day and survive.
Commonsense is imperative to survival. In extreme heat keep hydrated
Can also make sure air-conditioned soft-handers stop telling hard-handers to tuck their shirt in and roll their sleeves down....
He is not telling us anything new!
Move away from the tropics and away from the flooding coast, no problem.🥵
That’s what will happen! But if the world can’t gracefully handle an extra 6 million Syrians fleeing war then I wonder how it will work when 100+ million people are fleeing climate change…?
