Description

En stor del av vår planet är på väg att bli fysiskt obeboelig för den mänskliga arten. Att bo långt norrut kommer inte att skydda oss från hettan. Vad kan vi göra?

Våra utsläpp har värmt jorden till 1,2 grader över normaltemperatur och vi är på stadig kurs mot två, tre och kanske fyra grader. Vad händer när termostaten skruvas upp? Hur mycket klarar människokroppen av? Varför kan luftkonditionering vara en dödsfälla? Och när börjar den mänskliga civilisationen att kollapsa?

P3 Dystopia går till klimatkrisens kärna och tar reda på vad vi måste veta när världen värms upp. Vi upptäcker underskattade hot men ser också ljus i mörkret.
