One day while I was screaming about how the "TICKS ARE GOING TO KILL US ALL," knowing my tendency towards catastrophizing, my partner whispered, "are you should you should be reading this book?" Haha, which honestly fair. But also yes, I should be reading this book! And babes, while the book is good, the future is bleak. We really need to get our ish together or we, and the generations after us, are truly and completely fucked. Heat really is a silent killer and it's only going to get worse and worse as we dump more CO2 in the air. The melting permafrost has me terrified as it may unearth the virus that kills us all in the end.
I appreciate Goodell leaves us with some hope and briefly profiles some climate change warriors out there. Even as lovely as that is, I still have so much unease.

Sorry, I can't take a non fiction book that is discussing science topics seriously when temperatures aren't provided in Celsius. I'm fine with both, but to only use Fahrenheit when only three countries in the world is it and the entire scientific community uses metric is ridiculous. Also so many places in this book would be using Celsius. This is my only major complaint though so I give it four stars. Would have liked some suggestions on what to do because the ending is a bit of a bummer.

Chapters 1-8: yeah sure I knew pretty much all of this
Chapters 9-10: yeah okay I am literally never going outside again, ever

The book provided a clear and comprehensive picture of what heat is doing to the planet and to all the people and creatures on it. Definitely recommend.
