The author, a science journalist, chooses the path of humor to tell the hottest period of the year but she is aware that Today even the lightest irony on the consequences of high temperatures cannot ignore a reflection on climate change; for this reason he involved his colleague, a climate expert journalist and environmental hiking guide Franco Borgogno inviting him to write an afterword with some ideas for those who not only hate summer but also want to understand what is happening and above all what can still be done (yes, something is still possible!).
