Book excerpt: Buy now to get the main key ideas from John Vaillant's Fire Weather In May 2016, a wildfire near Fort McMurray, Canada’s oil hub, rapidly expanded, leading to the evacuation of nearly 100,000 people and the destruction of more than 2,500 structures. The fire burned for months, becoming Canada’s most expensive natural disaster. Journalist John Vaillant’s Fire Weather (2023) frames the catastrophe as a warning about our increasingly flammable world. Vaillant weaves the history of North America’s oil industry, the birth of climate science, and the unprecedented destruction of modern wildfires into an urgent call for a transition to sustainable energy sources.
