Heat: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet with Jeff Goodell | Summer Series

Our summer podcast series brings you some of the best conversations from our webinars and live events in 2023.

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.

This was recorded on Wednesday 23rd August 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
