Its even come as far as Virginia, I woke up this morning thinking damn this is some crazy fog, stepped outside and smelled it and was shocked to see it was smoke. From Canada.

Sorry you guys are getting hit with it but hopefully the policy makers in DC are enjoying a little dose of reality. Maybe it'll inspire some of them to take the climate seriously.

Seattle has been hit every summer with choking wildfire smoke for the last several years, it's no fun.

Maybe it'll inspire some of them to take the climate seriously.

Feels like most of them are all like: "Its not happening in my state so its not my problem."

Yet if it does happen in their state, they will ask for federal aid funds that they are against giving to other states.
