Wildfire Smoke a Permanent Summer Threat To Americans

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns of an escalating wildfire crisis, with over 700 active fires in Canada—most of them out of control—alongside major blazes in the U.S. The resulting smoke is choking cities like Chicago, Detroit, and even reaching Washington, D.C. McIntyre emphasizes that this is not an isolated event but a preview of what summers will increasingly look like due to persistent drought and worsening climate patterns across North America.
