Two Degrees

Written by TIRA PALMQUIST

When a scientist comes to Washington DC – which some consider a hostile place for scientists these days – she discovers the stakes are higher than ever. For Emma Phelps, a paleoclimatologist coming to challenge some troubling shifts in policy, she finds herself at the intersection of the personal and the political, of sex and power, of what’s done for the public good and what’s done to make a buck. Phelps has to answer difficult questions before she can win this fight, and must discover how to thaw from her own personal anguish before she can save the planet, and herself.
