Big Picture Science for Sept 21, 2026: How Hot is Too Hot? REPEAT Extreme heat is taking its toll on the natural world. We use words like “heat domes” and “freakish” to describe our everyday existence. These high temperatures aren’t only uncomfortable - they are lethal to humans, animals, and crops. In search of an answer to our episode’s question, we discuss the dilemma of an ever-hotter world with an author who has covered climate change for more than twenty years. Guest: * Jeff Goodell – author of “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet.” Originally aired October 2, 2023 Download podcast at - https://bigpicturescience.org/episodes/how-hot-is-too-hot You can listen to this and other episodes at http://bigpicturescience.org/ Get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.
