英文简介:
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Most Anticipated by The New York Times The Washington Post The Los Angeles Times A Next Big Idea Book Club Selection The New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice New York Times bestselling journalist’s “masterful, bracing” (David Wallace-Wells) investigation exposes “through stellar reporting, artful storytelling and fascinating scientific explanations” (Naomi Klein) an explosive new understanding of heat and the impact that rising temperatures will have on our lives and on our planet.
“Entertaining and thoroughly researched,” (Al Gore), it will completely change the way you see the world, and despite its urgent themes, is injected with “eternal optimism” (Michael Mann) on how to combat one of the most important issues of our time.
“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.
And as the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, our politics, our economy, and our values.
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.
It’s up to us.
The hotter it gets, the deeper and wider our fault lines will open.
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° F to 110°F.
A heatwave, Goodell explains, is a predatory event– one that culls out 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’s new book may be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it.
Masterfully reported, mixing the latest scientific insight with on-the-ground storytelling, Jeff Goodell tackles the big questions and uncovers how extreme heat is a force beyond anything we have reckoned with before.

立即成为《纽约时报》畅销书！ 《纽约时报》最受期待 《华盛顿邮报》 《洛杉矶时报》下一个大创意读书俱乐部精选 《纽约时报书评》编辑推荐 《纽约时报》畅销书记者的“高超、令人振奋”（大卫·华莱士-威尔斯）调查揭露了“通过出色的表现”报告、巧妙的故事讲述和引人入胜的科学解释”（Naomi Klein）对热量以及气温升高对我们的生活和地球的影响的爆炸性新认识。
“有趣且经过彻底研究”（阿尔·戈尔），它将彻底改变你看待世界的方式，尽管其主题紧迫，但在如何应对最重要的问题之一方面注入了“永恒的乐观主义”（迈克尔·曼）我们这个时代的。
“当热量来临时，它是看不见的。
它不会弯曲树枝或将头发吹过你的脸，让你知道它已经到来……太阳感觉就像枪管指向你。
”世界正在意识到一个新的现实：加州的野火现在是季节性的，东北部每年冬天的降雪越来越少，北极和南极洲的冰盖正在快速融化。
高温是导致气候危机所有其他影响的首要威胁。
随着气温上升，我们的政府、政治、经济和价值观中的断层正在暴露出来。
基础科学并不复杂：明天停止燃烧化石燃料，明天全球气温就会停止上升。
50 年内停止燃烧化石燃料，气温将在 50 年内持续上升，使我们星球的部分地区几乎无法居住。
这取决于我们。
天气越热，我们的断层线就越深、越宽。
《炎热将首先杀死你》讲述了我们的星球已经发生的极端变化。
这是关于为什么春天提前几周到来而秋天几周后到来的原因，以及这将对从我们的食物供应到疾病爆发等各个方面产生的影响。
这是关于当芝加哥或波士顿的典型夏季气温从 90°F 升至 110°F 时，我们的生活和社区会发生什么。
古德尔解释说，热浪是一种掠夺性事件，它会淘汰最脆弱的人群。
但这种情况正在改变。
随着热浪变得更加强烈和普遍，它们将变得更加民主。
作为几十年来一直站在环境新闻前沿的获奖记者，古德尔的新书可能是他迄今为止最具争议性的一本书，解释了极端高温将如何极大地改变我们所知道的世界。
杰夫·古德尔通过巧妙的报道，将最新的科学见解与实地故事相结合，解决了重大问题，并揭示了极端高温是一种超出我们之前考虑的力量。
