Texas Heat Wave, NPR Climate Desk Reporting

A spring heat wave in Texas has broken May temperature records, with San Antonio reaching 100 degrees. NPR's Climate Desk reports on the dangers of early-season heat, featuring a Harvard physician who explains the biological process of "acclimatization." The hosts mock the concept, noting that Texans live in air conditioning, and suggest the "Climate Desk" exists primarily to secure grant funding.
