Weather

Lizzie Benson, Amateur-Psychologin und Bibliothekarin mit Hang zu apokalyptischen Gedanken, soll die Fanpost zum alarmistischen Podcast »Hölle und Hochwasser« beantworten. So stürzt sie sich in die Auseinandersetzung mit besorgten Linken, die die Klimakatastrophe kommen sehen, ebenso wie mit den Ultrakonservativen und deren Sorge um den Untergang der westlichen Zivilisation. Wie aber, fragt Lizzie sich immer häufiger, kann sie ihren privaten Garten wässern, wenn die ganze Welt in Flammen steht?
