Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World by John Vaillant

3.75

challenging dark informative medium-paced

---

Well-written, with some chilling sections about the faulty economic reasoning behind bitumen extraction and the way PM Carney used to speak out about climate change’s risks to economics. (Wonder where that guy went.) I don’t love the action-hero depictions of the guys who snuck into evacuation areas for their fucking motorcycles but it doesn’t surprise me.
