When disaster comes, and governments cant help, people boil over. From Athens, we talk with foreign correspondent and climate security analyst Peter Schwartzstein. His new book is: In The Heat and the Fury: On the Frontlines of Climate Violence. Then: why are scientists still talking about 1.5 degrees of warming as the goal, when last year was already hotter than that? We ask leading researcher Christoph Bertram for a more realistic take. Appalachia and Nepal are reeling from city-breaking floods, and Las Vegas is still sinfully hot in October. Sorry United Kingdom, you drew the never-ending-rain card in the climate casino. Who is next?
