Egyptian artist Bahia Shehab had one goal at the recent COP27 climate talks in Egypt: to let people experience the "hell" that is global warming.

At first, she said, she wanted to "hack the rooms" to literally turn up the heat on delegates from nearly 200 countries who had been talking for two weeks about how to drive forward action against worsening climate change.
