Description
What to do when the temperature on the thermometer keeps rising — and may never drop. The planet is warming, and humanity must deal with the mounting impacts of climate change: droughts, floods, rising sea levels... Global warming, however, has much more direct effects on individuals, society, and global systems — it's simply getting hotter. Heatwaves and rising average temperatures are starting to take their toll: not only on human health but also on animal health, increasingly demanding and costly agriculture, the faster spread of viruses and infections, a greater number of migrants, and technological challenges. The book 'Heat' explores all these phenomena, explains how different heatwaves actually arise, maps their impacts around the world, and seeks ways to confront them with the help of scientists, farmers, and ordinary people. The problem of rising heat will not be avoided by anyone on the planet in the coming decades.
