Episode Details

New research confirms that human-caused climate change made the record-breaking wildfires in Ontario and the Northwest Territories twice as likely, turning once-rare fire weather into a growing threat. With conditions now occurring every 2-6 years in the North and 6-15 in Ontario — instead of once every 40 years — adaptation alone won’t cut it. Thousands evacuated, especially from First Nations communities, while smoke blanketed millions across Canada and the U.S. The UN climate chief echoed frontline voices: fossil fuels are heating the planet and turning forests into tinderboxes. Scientists warn we’re entering a new era of escalating extreme fires, demanding urgent global action — not just better trees or warnings, but deep cuts to emissions before the next disaster strikes.
