Canadian Wildfire Smoke Smothers New York City

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that New York City will experience heavy air pollution today due to wildfire smoke traveling from northwest Canada. He explains this is not a new phenomenon — similar events in 2023 forced residents to wear COVID-era masks and sent asthma sufferers to the ER. The ongoing Canadian wildfires continue to affect cities thousands of miles away.
