Wildfire season is starting earlier and lasting longer due to global warming across the world. What will we do to save the world on fire? How can we cure our addiction to fossil fuels which is verging on pyromania?

Simon Dalby is author of Pyromania: Fire and Geopolitics in a Climate-Disrupted World and Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University. His other books are Rethinking Environmental Security, Anthropocene Geopolitics: Globalization, Security, Sustainability, and Security and Environmental Change. He’s co-editor of Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and Reframing Climate Change: Constructing Ecological Geopolitics.

"Fossil fuels have made most of the Global North rich. Now it's time to use a bit of that wealth to build a better world and to do so in ways that also help those who are most vulnerable. And the people that are most vulnerable to this are, in many cases, parts of what we call the Global South. And thinking about our responsibilities to those who are being made vulnerable by our actions is at the heart of notions of climate justice. And we need to focus on how to help people rather than seeing them as threats."
