The Climate Pod


Aug 9, 2023

Jeff Goodell is the author of more than a few books on climate change, but none are more timely than his most recently release, The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet. Heat is not only the most deadly extreme weather event, but has also dominated news cycles for months as waves of scorching temperatures have hit across the globe. Jeff joins the show to discuss 2023's extreme heat, why heat is so deadly and what we can do about it, how heat is transforming our cities, and what keeps him up at night with some of the greatest threats we face with the climate crisis - diseases, glacier melt, deadly heat waves, and more.
