Wildfires Hundreds of Miles Away Are Hitting Me In New York

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City about the return of hazardous wildfire smoke — this time from fires burning over 700 miles away in Canada. He describes the visible health impacts, especially for vulnerable people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, and notes that what was once a rare event is becoming alarmingly common. McIntyre links the increasing frequency of this smoke to the far-reaching effects of climate change.
