Feeling the Heat

Overview

Across the Antarctic ice, under the seas, and through the tropical rainforests of far north Queensland, this record journeys to explore one of the defining mysteries of our age: climate change. An epic adventure, complete with heroes and villains—as well as a love story for those with an affection for nature—this scientific account attempts to decode climate information that will be critical to the planet’s future. By turns lyrical, funny, and achingly sad, it reveals startling truths about that delicate, confounding organism called Earth.
