b'Jeff Goodell is a climate change writer for\\xa0Rolling Stone\\xa0and the author of seven books. His new book is\\xa0The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet.\\n\\u201cI would not have said this even five years ago, but I have really come to see this now as a crime story. This is a kind of looting of the atmosphere of the earth, siphoning off resources and grossly profiting off of that at the expense of many other people\\u2014billions of people\\u2014on this planet. And I understand that\\u2019s a big thing to say, but I think it\\u2019s just pretty obviously true. \\u2026 I don\\u2019t mean that personally that each one of them personally is a criminal. We are all complicit in this.\\u201d\\nShow notes:\\n\\n@jeffgoodell\\n\\njeffgoodellwriter.com\\n\\nGoodell on Longform\\n\\nGoodell\\u2019s\\xa0Rolling Stone\\xa0archive\\n\\n11:00\\xa0\\u201cWho\\u2019s a Hero Now?\\u201d\\xa0(New York Times Magazine \\u2022 July 2003)\\n\\n15:00\\xa0The Water Will Come\\xa0(Back Bay Books \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n15:00\\xa0Big Coal\\xa0(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt \\u2022 2006)\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
