The increasing risk and destruction from climate-related disasters is so plain that in some states where climate-driven fires and storms are especially devastating, some insurers are withdrawing coverage for flooding and fires. Jeff Goodell, climate journalist and author of "The Heat Will Kill You First," talks with Alex Wagner about how climate-driven disasters are forcing a change in how we live.

Each year brings more destructive natural disasters and growing evidence of the challenging future we face if we don't address climate change. But the biggest cause of climate-related deaths is one that's hard to see and hardly talked about. Extreme heat killed more than 2,000 people in the United States in 2023 and put intense stress on millions as they faced high costs of utilities and numerous life interruptions. Federal, state and local policy hasn't kept up with rising temperatures and the scale of the heat threat, and cities are scrambling to adapt and prevent more deaths. In this panel from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, the chief heat officer for Miami-Dade County, Jane Gilbert, joins the chief heat officer for the city of Los Angeles, Marta Segura, to share their learnings and innovations in these brand new positions. Rolling Stone journalist Jeff Goodell, the author of “The Heat Will Kill You First,” brings a wider lens to the issue. NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz moderates the conversation. aspenideas.org

Hurricane Milton represents a one-in-a-thousand rainfall event, hitting Florida less than two weeks after another catastrophic storm, Hurricane Helene. Storms of their size and impact were once rare, but they are increasing in frequency, leaving many wondering why. Jeff Goodell has covered climate change for over twenty years and is the author of the best-selling exploration of cataclysmic temperature rise that predicts the worsening of hurricanes, “The Heat Will Kill You First.” He joins Christiane from Asheville, North Carolina, still reeling from the aftermath of Helene.  Also on today's show: CNN correspondent Isabel Rosales reports from the flooded streets of Tampa, Florida; director Steve MacQueen ("Blitz"); Tom Nichols, Staff Writer, The Atlantic  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we take a closer look at renovation plans for EverBank Stadium. Then we talk with the author of “The Heat Will Kill You First.”

Author Jeff Goodell discusses his new book "The Heat Will Kill You First" on the devastating impact of extreme heat. We'll hear an update on possible school closures in both Oakland and San Francisco. And we'll visit Rancho Obi-Wan.

Don't let the term “climate change” mislead you. It's true that our environment is changing in all sorts of ways as we continue to pollute and exploit and manipulate our planet. But even as we brace for more historic typhoons and biblical floods, there's an invisible and pervasive force that is wreaking havoc on us all: heat. In this episode, we speak with environmental journalist and Berkeley alumnus Jeff Goodell about his latest book, The Heat Will Kill You First, the potentially lethal effects that rising temperatures will have on our lives and on our planet, and what we can do to prepare for it.

The Six Ideas to Change the World series, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, concludes in November with writer and journalist Jeff Goodell, author of the best-selling book The Heat Will Kill You First. The planet is changing in extreme ways. Spring is arriving a few weeks earlier and autumn a few weeks later. Heatwaves are becoming more intense and more common. Heat is the first order threat that drives other climate change impacts, and it will affect everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks. The basic science behind rising temperatures is not complicated, but the failure to act now is revealing significant fault lines in our governments, our economy and our values. For the final event in this series on the future of the planet, join us for an eye-opening conversation about heat, and how it it will dramatically change the world as we know it. Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Jeff Goodell will be live at 5x15 in conversation with the BBC's Climate Editor, Justin Rowlatt. They will be tackling the big questions, while reflecting on an important truth: that extreme heat is a force beyond anything we have reckoned with before. Speakers Jeff Goodell's latest book is The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, which was an instant New York Times bestseller. He is the author of six previous books, including The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World, which was a New York Times Critics Top Book of 2017. He has covered climate change for more than two decades at Rolling Stone and discussed climate and energy issues on NPR, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, Fox News and The Oprah Winfrey Show. He is a Senior Fellow at the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center and a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow. Justin Rowlatt is the BBC's first ever climate editor. He describes his role as reporting from the front line of climate change - how it's affecting our lives and what we can do about it. He's been nominated for RTS and BAFTA awards over the years and well as news programmes, Justin has reported for Panorama, the One Show, the Today programme as well as many one-off and short documentary series. His first taste of environmental reporting came during his first week on Newsnight when the editor recreated him as "Ethical Man". He was tasked with filming as he and his young family did everything they could to cut their carbon emissions including giving up flying, going vegan, and ditching the car. Six Ideas to Change the World We are at a critical point in the global response to climate change, and the conversation around the central issues remains complex. Amidst numerous debates and conflicting narratives, public discourse runs the risk of information overload, at a time when urgent action is necessary, at both an individual and collective level. This curated series of live online events, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, offers a clearer path, spotlighting the most compelling, important and hard-hitting work being published today — the six ideas that will shape the future of our planet. Tune in each month to hear stories and ideas we can all learn from. Whether it's advice on changing diets, or solutions to the world's water crisis, these conversations will suggest a blueprint for what we must do in the years ahead. Each event will feature the author of a recent work, in conversation with an expert host about the most important issues and takeaways. Audiences will also have the chance to submit questions. The recordings of previous events in the series are available to view on 5x15's Youtube channel. With thanks for your generous support for 5x15's online series.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with V. Kelly Turner, an associate professor at the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California, Los Angeles, about the impacts of heat on students in US schools. Heat not only affects the body but also has implications for children's behavior and learning outcomes. Turner also discusses architectural and landscape design choices and technology that can mitigate hot temperatures on school grounds, funding sources for improving school infrastructure, and issues of equity in allocating such resources to schools.

July was the hottest month ever recorded.  Heat waves broke records around the world this summer. Phoenix, Arizona, endured 31 days of 110 degrees or hotter. Sanbao, a remote township in northwest China, hit 127 degrees – a record for the country. And parts of Europe reached over 100 degrees. These temperatures can be deadly. They also wreak havoc on the built environment. As global temperatures creep higher from greenhouse gasses, heat waves will be hotter and more frequent.  So, what exactly is a heat wave and how is it connected to climate change? How are scientists researching these extreme weather events? And what can policy makers do to help mitigate the impact on people and cities?  This week host Bill Loveless talks with author and journalist Jeff Goodell about his new book “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet”. Jeff has covered climate change for more than two decades. His book “The Heat Will Kill You First” examines the impact that rising temperatures will have on our planet. Jeff has also written books on rising seas, sinking cities, and the coal industry. He is a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow and a contributing editor at Rolling Stone.

According to NASA, July was the hottest month on record. Jeff Goodell writes how all of this is part of a new normal in his book, "The Heat Will Kill You First." He joins Mike Collins to discuss the impact of this heat, and if there's anything that can still be done.

“When heat comes, it's invisible. It doesn't bend tree branches or blow hair across your face to let you know it's arrived. . . . The sun feels like the barrel of a gun pointed at you.”  The world is waking up to a new reality: wildfires are now seasonal in California, the Northeast is getting less and less snow each winter, and the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting fast. Heat is the first-order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. As the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy and our values. Journalist Jeff Goodall says the basic science is not complicated: Stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow, and the global temperature will stop rising tomorrow. Stop burning fossil fuels in 50 years, and the temperature will keep rising for 50 years, making parts of our planet virtually uninhabitable. The hotter it gets, the deeper and wider our fault lines will open. Goodell's book The Heat Will Kill You First is about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing. It is about why spring is coming a few weeks earlier and fall is coming a few weeks later—and the impact that will have on everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks. It is about what will happen to our lives and our communities when typical summer days in Chicago or Boston go from 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. A heatwave, Goodell explains, is a predatory event, one that culls the most vulnerable people; but that is changing—as heatwaves become more intense and more common, they will become more democratic.  As an award-winning journalist who has been at the forefront of environmental journalism for decades, Goodell might be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it.  This program contains explicit content.

On this week's episode of Lever Time, David Sirota is joined by Jeff Goodell, author of the new book The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, to discuss recent deadly heat waves and how they're a prelude to dangers to come.This past July was the hottest single month in recorded history. In the United States, temperatures rose above 120 degrees in several regions of the country, and ocean temperatures in parts of Florida reached 101 degrees, potentially shattering the world record for ocean heat.It's not just the temperature that's rising. Over the past few months, there has also been an increase in heat-related deaths and hospitalizations, including for life-threatening burns people have suffered from falling onto scorching concrete. Heat is the deadliest type of weather, each year killing on average more than twice as many people as tornadoes and hurricanes combined. Of course, the groups that most acutely suffer from extreme heat events tend to be the most vulnerable, like unhoused people, the elderly, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. To examine these problems, Sirota sits down with Goodell, a climate journalist and bestselling author. Together they break down which regions of the country will experience the most severe heat in the future, the limitations of air conditioning as a potential solution, our new geologic era, and how our concept of summer is set to drastically change from fun to survival. A transcript of this episode is available here.Links: The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet (Hachette Books, 2023) The Anthropocene began in 1950s, scientists say (NPR, 2023) BONUS: This past Monday's bonus episode of Lever Time Premium, exclusively for The Lever's supporting subscribers, featured David's interview with political economist and economic geographer Brett Christophers, author of the new book Our Lives In Their Portfolios: Why Asset Managers Own The World. If you'd like access to Lever Time Premium, which includes extended interviews and bonus content, head over to LeverNews.com to become a supporting subscriber.If you'd like to leave a tip for The Lever, click the following link.

Washington Post deputy editor Juliet Eilperin speaks with Jeff Goodell, longtime climate journalist and contributing editor for Rolling Stone, joins Washington Post Live to discuss the impact of extreme heat, the record temperatures this summer and how human beings can adapt as written in his new book, “The Heat Will Kill You First.”

We are entering a new climate— One that looks very different from the one we've known, Jeff Goodell concludes in his latest book, “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet.”This summer has produced record-breaking temperatures in nearly every corner of the world, including even the deepest parts of our oceans. Sea ice around Antarctica is at a record-low for the satellite era. July Fourth was the hottest day on Earth since 1979, and potentially in the last 125,000 years, according to some estimates. Lastly, an oppressive and ongoing heat wave primarily focused along the Ten Across transect, has placed 100 million Americans, or a third of the country, under excessive heat warnings and advisories for the foreseeable future. These figures suggest this will be a dangerous and influential summer for the future of our planet.In this latest episode, Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and author Jeff Goodell discuss the uncanny timing of “The Heat Will Kill You First,” and its place among Jeff's last 20 years of climate reporting. This interview was recorded in front of a live audience at the Gensler office in downtown Los Angeles.It is available to watch on our website at 10across.com/category/podcast, and to listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Jeff Goodell, author of “The Heat Will Kill You First,” explains that when your body temperature reaches 105 degrees, proteins that control cell functions begin to break down. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor faces ethics questions over her book royalties, and attorneys and activists want to possibly overturn the decades-old murder conviction of the Menendez Brothers. Hollywood writers, actors, and hotel workers are on strike. Before them, educators and dock workers pushed for higher pay. Why has LA become the center of labor activity? Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is expected to gross more than $1 billion, and local hotels and restaurants are seeing rising revenues as fans flock to cities for her concerts.

What threats driven by climate change will be among the first to take lives?
