Climate Courage: The Fire Age

Send us Fan MailIn Canada, 13.7 million hectares of forest have burned (and continues to burn), which is twice as much as the 1989 record. We’ve seen fires in Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, Croatia, Algeria, Tunisia, and of course, the US, where the fires in Maui are the worst in its history. But we’re moving into Summer in the Southern Hemisphere now, and fires have already broken out in Australia, even though the fire season doesn’t typically start until October. Recent headlines include: Australia braces for ‘harsh summer’ as ocean temperature warms; Australians urged to prepare for most significant bushfire season since black summer; and ‘Adapt or die’: Nightmare weather coming for unprepared Australia.To help us dig into the risk for Australia and the wider conversation on global fire preparedness, I am delighted to welcome Graeme Thom AFSM, who caught my attention in the media during Australia’s black fire season because he didn’t hold back with his views - it was refreshing. Do join us. This will be a revelation. Climate Courage is a fortnightly Livestream and podcast published on Uncommon Courage, where we go big picture on the climate crisis and focus on the actions you and I can take to be part of the solution. Whether individual action, community action, or national/global action - every single one of us can be part of ensuring a live-able future for our children and grandchildren. We owe them that!You can get in touch with Graeme here www.gtspeaks.com.au   International Emergency Services Speakers Bureau https://iessb.com.au/ And on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/graemethomafsm/ #ClimateCourage #UncommonCourage You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
