We’re visiting family & friends in Massachusetts & went to a minor league baseball game in Worcester last night. View of the sun and very hazy sky from the stadium, courtesy of fires hundreds of miles away in Canada.

These extensive fires aren't just destroying swaths of land, they are making people sick hundreds of miles away. I know of at least 3 people who suffered permanent lung damage from the Spokane smoke day. They are also a bigger bellweather of the effects of climate change than many admit.

In response to lauriedtmann.
Until the early '90s, I'd never smelled smoke from a fire hundreds of miles away. Since 2015, I've experienced bad air from 3 different fires that were far away - Spokane August 2015 (the day Spokane had the worst air in the world), San Jose August 2018 & now Massachusetts 2023.
