The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet by Jeff Goodell

4.0

I know that heat can be dangerous but I really didn’t understand the full extent of the danger, or just how much catastrophe our future could hold if we don’t collectively get our shit together. The bit about the heat wave in Paris and the death toll that came with it was particularly surprising to me. The part about the potential for new and deadlier pandemics was scary, and the last chapter in which the author personifies a mother polar bear was a bit too much dramatic flair. Maybe, don’t read this book if you are depressed.
