About the edition

Climate adaptation is usually a story about buildings, energy and infrastructure. Climate Proof Pill starts with the body.

This seven-part edition follows the problem of heat from physiology and wet-bulb conditions to the history of Soviet actoprotectors. It then asks what a credible modern research programme would need to establish.

It is an inquiry into a difficult proposition: if medicine can change what a body tolerates, who benefits—and what kind of evidence should be demanded before that promise becomes policy?

A publication, not a supplement or a treatment.

Pharmakon

Pharmakon is an old Greek word that means remedy and poison at once. We prefer to separate the two. Chemistry never did.

A substance becomes medicine through dose, circumstance, belief, law and the hand that gives it. The same substance can heal, alter, sedate, stimulate or destroy. Its chemistry may remain unchanged while everything around it changes. Pharmakon follows those changes. We trace what humans have put into bodies, why they did it, who decided what was permitted, and what happened afterward.
