Jeff Goodell knows a thing or two about the climate crisis. He’s been writing about it for years. But it didn’t become personal until the heat nearly killed him. It was on a hike in Nicaragua that Goodell experienced the real danger — the bodily danger — posed by extreme temperatures. His heart rate shot up; he was expelling sweat at an alarming rate. He felt like his body was out of control. Thankfully, he was with a guide who got him to some shade. But it was a close call, and it changed the way he thought about global warming.
