Canada’s wildfires are having a huge impact on US air quality - Vox
>Typically, Canada’s wildfire season runs through the spring and summer, so there’s some expectation of blazes taking place around this time. Because Canada has experienced an exceptionally hot and dry spell this year, however, it’s seeing the most destructive fire season in decades, resulting in a record amount of acreage burned and smoke emissions released. https://www.vox.com/climate/2023/6/28/23777224/canada-wildfires-2023-air-quality-us #canadawildfires #quebecwildfires #canada

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.
