About this episode
This episode discusses the impacts of heat due to climate change and how society can adapt.
Today’s episode is all about HEAT, that climate change bummer from which so many other impacts ripple out. The Earth is hotter now than at any other point in all of human history. From our homes and our jobs, to our policies and culture, how do we adapt? My guests for grappling with all this are Jainey Bavishi and Jeff Goodell. Jainey served as deputy head of NOAA under President Biden, and as head of resiliency for NYC under Mayor de Blasio. Perhaps you remember her from Season 2: “ The Future of Coastal Cities .” Jeff is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet . He has also been a climate reporter at Rolling Stone for over two decades.
