Finally opened the window today. Air here, now good, but New York now dealing with it, and it looks awful.
Shit 😦 what kind of summer are we to have? This is a first for me.

Current status: not good
#QuebecFires are bringing the realities of the climate crisis home to a large percentage of the North American population...
It's getting so a bird can't even get a breath of fresh air!
Fires in Canada are causing smoke and haze in New York City. It's pretty bad when the Parks people tell New Yorkers to stay indoors as much as possible--but what about the birds and other wildlife?
I don't remember in 40+ years living in the Northeast of ever smelling a wild fire. It's not even close to where I'm living and the air is tan/yellow.
You're not supposed to see air! We're seeing the air. This is not supposed to be happening.

We’ve been getting air-quality warnings for days now, and the setting sun has looked crazy for several weeks, but today is the first day I could actually smell the fires. I actually first noticed it in the middle of my apartment. #brooklyn #quebecfires #NewYork

Smog is so bad in Sherbrooke, that the air has actually left ASH on my car. I thought it was just our construction area. Nope, a whole bunch of cars that I passed by also had their cars riddled with fallen ash. So imagine what people are breathing out there 🤢I would be wearing a mask if I was out there for more than 5 minutes!!

The sunlight, filtered through the smoke from the fires in Canada, coming into my kitchen right now in upstate NY is absolutely surreal. I'm not even going to try to capture it in a photograph. It's like the light from one of those old sodium streetlights. It really feels other-worldly.
