In this book, Kate and Tom discover that there is a terrible disaster in Canada caused by climate change. Warmer temperature has enabled the pine beetle to overwhelm and kill the pine trees in the Jasper National Park. The trees burn easily when wildfires start.

The system has reached a tipping point.
