One book I've been especially eager to get my hands on is Jeff Goodell's The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet (order your copy here). I first discovered Jeff's writing in Rolling Stone with his masterpiece Goodbye, Miami. Since then, I've made a point to follow his work, as his thoughtful examinations of climate change impacts have consistently struck a chord with me. Extreme heat is a fascinating topic, and I’ve previously written about how it can become deadly. But there's a clear distinction between understanding the science behind heat and grasping what it truly means for our daily lives. That's where Jeff’s book really shines.
The Climate Brink, "Jeff Goodell: The Heat Will Kill You First", his own post (byline Andrew Dessler). The post links the book on Bookshop.org.
