Welcome to How to Save a Planet.

This is the show where we talk about what we need to do to address climate change and

how to make those things happen.

Hello everyone, today on the show we are sharing an episode of the podcast The Carbon Copy.

It's produced by our friends over at Canary Media and we're sharing it because it's a very

timely topic, extreme heat.

This past summer saw severe heat waves in almost every region of the Northern Hemisphere.

Here in the United States, there was a mind-boggling 70-day heat wave in China which was that

country's worst-ever heat wave and by some accounts the worst-ever heat wave anywhere

on Earth.

And these heat waves aren't just uncomfortable or inconvenient, they're also deadly.

In most years, more people in the US die from extreme heat than any other weather-related

disaster.

And of course, extreme heat is only predicted to get worse in the coming years as the

climate continues to warm.

So what can we do to better prepare for these heat waves?

This episode of The Carbon Copy has answers, answers that are surprisingly simple and can

help address problems way beyond extreme heat.

I don't want to give anything else away right now, so I'll just hand the mic over to

Steven Lacey, host of The Carbon Copy.

I'll be coming at you right after this short break.
