Big Picture Science for Sept 21, 2026: How Hot is Too Hot?

A vast cracked desert floor stretches into the distance, colored in deep reddish-brown tones. The ground is broken into irregular plates with dark gaps between them, suggesting extreme dryness. On the horizon, a large, bright sun dominates the sky, surrounded by a glowing halo of light. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds and warm colors, shifting from intense orange near the horizon to darker tones higher up, giving an impression of intense heat and arid conditions.









Big Picture Science: 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.”
