A timely look at how man's behavior coupled with climate change is creating new weather patterns.
This is an easy-to-read narrative describing the colossal, 2016, Canadian Fort McMurray wildfire that overran the town and surrounding areas, including major oil facilities. The author explains the fire while exploring the inter-twining history of oil and gas development and the study of climate change, providing an eerie look into a future that relies on fossil fuel development.
