Life Raft - Is It Ever Gonna Be Too Hot To Live Here?

In this debut episode of Life Raft we’re digging into extreme heat: is it ever gonna be too hot to live here?

We talk to a doctor about what happens to the human body when it starts to overheat, and to a New Orleans resident on a mission to cool off her neighborhood by planting hundreds of trees. We share laughs with both.

The question for this episode came from New Orleans-based comedian Kamari Stevens (IG: @supermaribro).

Life Raft - Trailer: Welcome To Life Raft

Welcome to Life Raft! We’re your survival guide for a changing planet.

If you’re like us, climate change leaves you with a lot of questions, and they’re not about the rate of ocean warming — they’re about practical things that affect our everyday lives.

Each episode explores a different question about climate change, submitted by a real person.

“How can I reduce flooding in my neighborhood?”

“Have I had my last good oyster?”

Hosts Lauren Malara and Travis Lux talk to scientists, oyster shuckers, tree planters, and a whole host of other people who are asking big questions and working on solutions. And they do it all with a little bit of levity.

In other words: climate change is scary, but Life Raft is not.

Episodes come out every two weeks. First up: extreme heat.

Got a climate question for us to tackle? We want to hear from you! Submit yours through our website.
