Is Canada Ready for a New Era of Extreme Weather?

Last year was the second-worst wildfire season in Canadian history, with millions of hectares burned and communities across the country forced to evacuate. As climate change drives longer, more intense fire seasons, how bad could future years get and are we prepared? We examine Canada's growing wildfire risk with Mike Flannigan, a professor of wildland fire at Thompson Rivers University, and look at other extreme weather threats, including severe storms, with Greg Kopp of Western University and Anabela Bonada of the University of Waterloo's Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
