The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet

Jeff Goodell's "The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet" — an executable toolkit for understanding extreme heat as the primary driver of climate chaos, the biology of heatstroke, the inequity of heat vulnerability, and what we can do to survive on a rapidly warming planet. Covers 7 use cases: ① Heat as Climate Engine — understanding the first-order effect ("Why is heat the most dangerous part of climate change?") ② Heat Physiology — how the body fails ("What happens to your body when it overheats?") ③ Heat Inequality — who dies first ("Why are poor neighborhoods so much hotter?") ④ The Great Migration — where life is moving ("Where will people go when their homes become unlivable?") ⑤ Food and Water — agriculture in a hotter world ("How does heat affect what I eat?") ⑥ Adaptation Strategies — what actually works ("Can we build our way out of extreme heat?") ⑦ The Last Refuges — the places that might be safe ("Where should I live to avoid the worst of the heat?") Trigger when users say: "How does heat kill you" "Is climate change really an emergency" "What is the heat dome" "How many people die from heat" "Are heat waves getting worse" "How do I protect myself from extreme heat" "What is wet bulb temperature" "Heat stroke symptoms" "How do I stay safe in a heat wave" "Gerrish family" "Pacific Northwest heat wave" "Are cities hotter than suburbs" or mention: Jeff Goodell / heat dome / heat wave / heatstroke / wet bulb / urban heat island / climate change / global warming / extreme heat / sweatshop / greenhouse / mosquito / dengue / Greenland / Antarctica / Blob / marine heat wave / Lytton / Portland / 114 degrees / redlining / tree canopy / outdoor workers / farmworkers / construction / delivery / AC / air conditioning / geoengineering / solar radiation / carbon capture / adaptation Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
