From the Amazon to Alaska, forests burned this summer. Dr. Thomas Lovejoy leads us into the recent burst of fires in the Amazon. We also get a report from Brazilian scientists. From the University of Alaska, Brian Brettschneider reports on crazy high temperatures up north, the smoke, and the prospects of wildfires from the Boreal forest right up into the Tundra.

I also report from a webinar hosted by the Woods Hole Research Center with American scientist Dr. Michael Coe, and Brazilians scientists Ane Alencar and Paul Brando.
