Wildfires that are not stopping in California. Heat waves that have already become seasonal in Europe. The melting of glaciers that does not stop in the Arctic and Antarctica. The increase in temperature today is an ecological threat of the highest order, which determines all the other consequences of the climate crisis.

In his new book, Jeff Goodell, a writer and editor for Rolling Stone magazine who has worked in environmental journalism for decades, explains why spring is coming a few weeks earlier and fall a few weeks later, and the impact this will have on everything from the foods we eat to the diseases we suffer from.

This is a book about what will happen to our lives and our communities when the temperature on a typical summer day reaches 45 °C instead of the current 30 °C. By skillfully combining the latest scientific data with eyewitness accounts on the ground, Goodell raises important questions and demonstrates how extreme heat is changing our world.
