YEAH! It's the second season of the wildly outlandish and very popular(#s) Canadian wildfires series!
Thanks a lot Canada! I'm looking forward to literal days and days of more dangerous air quality exposure like 2023!
Stand aside, Michael J. Fox! Deadly air pollution is Canada's greatest export!
PS: I could have sworn I wrote an entire thread due to the 2023 wildfires and its effects on the NE US. But couldn't find it.
Experts say the choking fumes were not a one-time event, and that the smoke will become more frequent due to climate change.
“This [Canadian wildfire smoke] is a new norm. This is real,” said Mark Wysocki, a Cornell University professor who retired last month after decades serving as the New York State climatologist. “We're going to have to have an attitude adjustment here. We're going to have to start dealing with the fact now that we're going to have air quality alerts more often.”
