This episode features Dr. Philip Higuera, professor of Fire Ecology, and Kyra Wolf, Ph.D. candidate in Systems Ecology both at the University of Montana’s Franke College of Forestry and Conservation. Phil and Kyra and their colleague Bryan Shuman recently published some alarming findings on what we’re experiencing right now with wildfire. The title speaks for itself: “Rocky Mountain sub-alpine forests now burning more than any time in recent millennia.” That should get our attention.

Roughly Warmer temps in the Mountain West also spell trouble for the region’s flora and fauna that have long relied on cooler climates for their health and survival. In Colorado and Wyoming, millions of acres of forests have been killed by insect outbreaks, “which happened in part because we don't have the really extreme cold winters anymore that normally would have killed those insects,” Shuman said. Easing the impacts of the climate crisis hinges on small behavioral shifts, such as flying less, Shuman said. “That's probably the biggest single way I personally add carbon in the atmosphere and help make things warm.”
Big Pivots The East Troublesome Fire photographed on Oct. 20, 2020 by Brad White, fire chief of the Grand Fire Protection District in Granby. Colorado’s scariest wildfire in 2020 was not its largest. East Troublesome shocked because of its sprint and then its leap. It grew by 87,000 acres in a fiery dash across the headwaters of the Colorado River and past Grand Lake, most of that in just a couple hours. Smoke plumes rose 40,000 feet. The winds, variously estimated at 50 to 100 mph, were strong enough to bend over lodgepole pines. Then embers vaulted across two miles of treeless tundra at the Continental Divide, raining into the Estes Valley, at the eastern gate to Rocky Mountain National Park.
