Introduction
In Mercury Rising, Matt Damon takes us on an investigation of the impact of extreme heat and heat waves on human health and mortality. Rising temperatures are a silent killer of thousands, tens of thousands and perhaps even hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.
With a focus on startling new research from leading scientists, epidemiologists and investigators from the Centers for Disease Control, the Environmental Protection Agency and UCLA’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, Mercury Rising reveals the way that climate change and rising temperatures are becoming a public health emergency locally, nationally and globally.
