Book description
Imagine hearing a chilling SOS from the very heart of the sports world-a world where midnight marathons are now standard, athletes need oxygen tanks during wildfires, and entire ski resorts are vanishing. That's the urgent reality Madeleine Orr lays bare in Warming Up, and listening to this audiobook is like being handed a live, beating pulse of the climate crisis. The Observer called it "a bolder, more forthright SOS for sport," and you'll hear why immediately: Orr's narration (or the audiobook's masterful delivery) turns shocking stats into visceral stories. You'll hear athletes' voices recounting collapsing in smoke-filled tennis matches, the eerie silence of Alpine resorts turned ghost towns, and the staggering toll of the Qatar World Cup-where heat claims lives before the first kick.
What makes this so compelling isn't just the doom-it's Orr's clear-eyed hope. As a leading sport ecologist, she doesn't just catalog disasters; she interviews pioneers turning the tide. You'll hear about golf courses rebuilt to withstand rising seas, leagues adopting renewable energy, and athletes becoming climate warriors. The audiobook's pacing is perfect: each chapter ("Every Breath You Take," "Thin Ice," "Green Sports") feels like a new, gripping episode. The narrator's tone? Urgent but never alarmist, making you lean in. You'll feel the sweat on your neck during those California fire seasons, the dread of a snowless ski slope, and the quiet determination of a coach retrofitting a stadium with solar panels.
This isn't just a book for sports fans-it's a wake-up call for anyone who loves the outdoors, the thrill of competition, or simply the idea that we can adapt. Orr proves the trillion-dollar sports industry isn't doomed; it's already innovating, leading the charge for a livable future. When she asks, "What's Next?" the answer isn't vague-it's actionable, inspiring, and delivered with the clarity of someone who's on the frontlines. Listening to Warming Up feels less like reading and more like joining a movement. You'll finish it buzzing, not with despair, but with a thrilling sense of what's possible when we fight back. And honestly? That's the most powerful sound in the world right now.
