I just finished reading Fire Weather: The Making of a Beast by John Vaillant, and wanted a place to keep the links mentioned in the epilogue.
This is not a review, but this really is a book you should put on your to-read list, especially if you live in Alberta. It tells the story of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, which is currently the costliest natural disaster in Canadian history. Lots of history of the area, of the science behind our current reality, and of the petroleum industry that wags the Canadian dog.
The links:
- Koch Docs: Hard to find documents about Charles Koch and his agenda all in one place.
- Canadian Energy Centre - oh, it's actually still alive and online?!
- The Climate Investigations Center
- DeSmog
- Smoke & Fumes
- The Discovery of Global Warming
- Inside Climate News
- Climate Files
- Some terrifying video from YouTube, in case you've forgotten all about that wildfire
