FIRE WEATHER: Livestream and Q&A - #SciFrBookClub

Author John Vaillant will join the SciFri Book Club livestream to talk about the Fort McMurray wildfire and the escalating impact of fire in the age of climate change. Dive into the history of fire’s role in human evolution and the urgent lessons this fiery catastrophe holds for our future. NOTE: At 00:08:35, John misspoke when he said, in referencing the distance between Alberta, CA and Los Angeles, CA, was '200 miles apart.' They about 1,900 miles apart. We regret the error. – This is a #SciFriBookClub event, where attendees can hear from the author about topics related to our Book Club pick.
