Past ForwardThe Fire Problem: Season One IntroductionWhen we started this project in August of 2024 we were focused on the fact that 18 out of the 20 most destructive fires in California’s history have happened in the last 25 years, and 15 of them in the last 10 years. Everything changed when we started recording and fires spread all over the region. If you live in the Western United States, there is a high likelihood you have been directly or indirectly affected by wildfires. That is why we launched this series, to explore this phenomenon and connect with those who have studied fires, written about fires, fought the fir...

Sightline Institute Research"If One Path Is Blocked, Nature Will Find Another"
A Q&A with award-winning author John Vaillant on our new fire weather reality.
It's been a little over two years since you published Fire Weather - in other words, countless wildfires later and already well into a third "fire season" in Cascadia. Which wildfire stories have you followed most closely since? Or which have followed you?
The Sightline audience needs no convincing of the fact that climate change is driving increasingly deadly and destructive wildfires. But what are the key ways it's doing so? What does this mean for how communities experience and adapt to these wildfires compared to wildfires of the past?
Along with many analysts, we've been following the insurance industry as an "indicator species" of climate risks, watching as these corporations raise rates or pull out of markets altogether with disasters growing more frequent. It wasn't a focus of your book, but are there threads to that story you've seen that might surprise readers?
It wouldn'Editor's introduction: John Vaillant is a Cascadian icon. An award-winning and bestselling author residing in Vancouver, British Columbia, he has written gripping tales, both fiction and nonfiction, on the nuanced interfaces between people and nature.
Vaillant's 2023 Pulitzer finalist book Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World recounted the harrowing 2016 megafire in the Alberta oil town of Fort McMurray, weaving in the histories of the oil industry, climate science, and the very technology of fire in human history. His account not only won international praise; it also drove urgent conversations about our new age of ultra-destructive, climate-fueled...

Solve for X: Innovations to Change the WorldFire alarm: Rethinking innovation in an increasingly volatile worldThe wildfire that devastated Fort McMurray in 2016 burned more than 579,000 hectares of land, drove 88,000 people from their homes and caused nearly $10 billion in damages.
