The planet is warming. Tempers are flaring. There is so much going on in the world that it can be hard to get past the headlines, hyperbole, and sound bytes. It can be even harder to get into the nuances, complex facts, and extraordinarily-important-yet-overlooked crunchy nougat centers of disaster, climate, social issues, and everything in between. But don’t worry! Two intrepid heroes with wildly dysfunctional origin stories are here to accompany you through the quagmire that is our world. We created Globally Heated because we want to untangle the knots that make understanding our changing world so challenging. We want to delve into the little details that so often get overlooked, and we want to share our discoveries with you! Join us on this intriguing, zany, hopefully informative journey as we all try to learn and understand a little more about our most definitely heated—but still wonderful—little blue (and kind of green?) globe.
