Fevered: How a Hotter Planet Will Harm Our Health and How We Can Save Ourselves

Sobering, informative, and essential reading.

Another well written and persuasive wake-up call for serious action to be taken against the consequences of global warming.

Fevered makes its case with plenty of hard evidence. . . Gripping to read. . . Chapters unfold like medical detective stories. . .

A must-read for anyone who cares about the future and environmental justice, Fevered combines riveting real-life stories with cutting-edge science to paint an alarming picture of the disastrous toll climate change is already taking on the average American. Doing nothing is not an option, and Marsa draws our attention to innovative solutions that can put our country on a path to sustainability for both our health and the environment.

Linda Marsa uncovers what may be the most important, but largely overlooked, impact of climate disruption—the potential for profound effects on our health and that of our children.

Linda Marsa’s Fevered is a brilliant look at where we’re headed with climate change and how we might lessen the damage with changes that are well within the bounds of the possible. By examining disasters like the Dust Bowl and building upon successes like Vancouver and other livable communities, she makes the case that our fate is not sealed. We can make a change, if we act today.

As seen in communities across the nation, climate disruption is costing us our homes, our health, and our lives. Linda Marsa…presciently envisions what a resilient public health system could look like—offering a hopeful vision of preparedness for the future.

Marsa lays out one of the most under-appreciated consequences of climate change—the real and present threat to public health—with a powerful combination of vivid narrative and sound science that’s unlike anything I’ve ever read. She makes it scarily clear that climate change is harming real people, in real places, right now.

There’s nothing abstract about climate change: As Linda Marsa makes clear, it’s already reshaping the world in which each of us lives, and not in healthy ways!

By turns disturbing and inspiring, Marsa tells two compelling stories in Fevered. She shows us that climate disruption has already begun to damage our health. She also makes clear that it’s not too late to reshape our future by adopting clean energy and embracing smart conservation practices that are already bearing fruit in unlikely places.
