2023 seemed to be the year of wild fires, and it is increasingly clear that we are moving away from a planet whose geology is shaped by ice ages to one shaped by burning.  

"Firepower" also has military connotations, and my guest today, Professor SImon Dalby, argues that this is not co-incidental.  I will be talking to Simon about the new geopolitics of the fire age.

Simon's most recent book is: Pyromania: fire and geopolitics in a climate disrupted world  (Agenda Publishing, 2023).
