I actually read they arrested a few people a week ago for starting fires....not much about it on the news tho so they can blame climate change.

It is really bad. My wife is a bit compromised from her cancer treatments. So we are just hanging inside. Insanity though.

You should look into the turkey tail mushroom treatment and fasting.

Hang in there guys.  Stay indoors.

This is Zach Wilson’s fault

I live in southwestern Ontario (about two hours from Detroit border), and things are okay here.  Toronto, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be fairing so well.

Yes.  I'm thankful to be a Mets fan.

I never, ever wanted to be associated with that bandwagon, pretentious, spoiled brat fanbase you call your own.  I'll gladly and proudly take my lumps with the "lesser" franchise than think being a Yankee fan ensures I'm a better person than anyone else like so, so many of you do.  

Take your condescension to the Yankee containment thread in the baseball forum, Starch Boy.

Yesterday in my area of Syracuse, NY we had the worst air quality in all of New York State. It was in the "hazardous" range. The air quality index goes from 0 to 500 and yesterday afternoon we we're 438 compared to 235 for New York City. Right now we're at 160 which is in the "unhealthy" range.

How long before Adams tells everyone the jab works for smoke inhalation also?

[jetstream23]

Haven't read the whole thread and I'm catching bits and pieces of news out here in the West.  I'm supposed to fly my daughter back east and drop her off in NJ to spend a few weeks working at a campground with her cousins.  Starting to have second thoughts.  Is this expected to get sustainably better any time in the next 1-2 weeks?  Or, is it looking like it will vary from week to week depending on the weather and wind patterns, and maybe last for months?

Thanks.

NYC today isn't that bad, I think the worst smoke is over south jersey, eastern pa, philly/baltimore/ dc now. Today is kinda comparable to a humid summer day, just without the humidity.

What ive read so far is that they think the majority of it will be outta here by Sunday, but its tough to predict so they arent exactly sure.

[Ruby2]

This is pretty optimistic for this weekend, but says we might have to be dealing with this sporadically throughout the summer.

Isn't that what it normally is in Syracuse?

Humans starting fires is commonplace. The size and time of year of the fires is unprecedented. Nornally Quebec is wetter and cooler. Warming temps and lack of rain have dried out the forests  and made them tinderboxes.  So, yeah, climate change. Unless of course mother nature is part of the Canadian deep state...

Climate change activists have been arrested in both California and Australian in the past few years for terrorism starting these types of fires...but yeah we should probably ban gas stoves and eat crickets just to be safe....but don't worry Leonardo Dicaprio and AOC will still be flying around the world on their private jets eating steak.

Cute post but apparently you're not familiar with a little program called Infowars.

No you didn't offend me.  And yes there is some bizarre and ridiculous stuff, but unfortunately for many (including me) the current bizarre stuff is preferable to the alternative.

Except the fires would normally be much more contained under previous climate conditions. The effect is the more important variable in this instance not the cause, even if supposed terrorists are setting the fires. But if you're influenced by Infowars there's no point in having a rational discussion

What exactly are you arguing here?  That climate change is not causing the air quality issues?  The high temperatures and year long drought in Canada have made fires that are normal for this time of year 12X larger.  So while people may have caused some of the fires (most were set by lightning), the magnitude of the fires is exacerbated by climate change. I've lived in this area my entire 60+ year life and have never ever experienced anything close to yesterday's air quality.

Are you going to make the space laser claim next?
