It's deceptively hard to get an answer to the question, how hot is it these days?

But if you look closely, you'll get the gist.

In Alpaso, Texas, they have clocked triple digit temperatures for more than a month at this

point.

In Florida, it's getting hot enough that coral reefs are dying.

In Las Vegas, the concrete sidewalks are a sizzling 144 degrees.

And sure, Vegas is a desert.

But just hearing all this is enough to get you to put your AC on blast.

I actually don't have the AC on blast at the moment, and now that you mention it, it's

kind of tempting to turn it up.

Darnanore knows all about the heat.

She covers the climate for the Guardian.

For her, the summer has felt both horrifying and inevitable.

Often, I feel like it's some mix between, I told you so, and oh my god, even I didn't

think that it could be this bad.

But Darnanore is particularly interested in climate solutions.

And I called her up to talk about attack tech.

She is seeing more and more these days, local municipalities, and even just individual people

taking climate change to court.

Sometimes it's people suing the government, trying to get it to regulate greenhouse gases

better.

Sometimes it's the government suing oil companies over their role in the climate disaster.
