Podcast from ABC Blue print for Living
The Northern Hemisphere just had one of the hottest summers on record
and in Quebec, in a little over a week, 90 people died because of the
heat.
Dealing with heat is considered by some as the ‘next big inequality issue’ with only a small percentage of the global population able to access air-conditioned comfort.
So what does it feel like to slowly die in oppressive heat and how are Australian cities faring as the world continues to heat up?
