Trump threatens tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke
It’s tragic that CO₂ doesn’t look and smell like wildfire smoke.
I can see why we didn't evolve to detect CO₂ in the way that we did other, more immediately noxious gases, but hot damn it's proving to be an unexpectedly poor evolutionary decision in the long run
I sometimes imagine if car exhaust was visible year round and not just when it was really cold. Also if it was a colored hue like purple and I think we'd have a much different world now. We could see how smoky the bars were and we kicked those fools out.
It makes no difference to the rock heads on the right drooling to Fox News. They have already blamed Canada and the zombies drool and nod.
The should inject mercaptan with the wildfire......
Is it? It doesn’t even seem like everyone being choked by smoke twice yearly has led to any actionable change, either. Quite the opposite in fact!
“The cost of climate-worsened wildfire smoke alone is larger than what earlier studies said every other estimated cost of climate change would be, combined.”
Surely a few more pipelines and LNG plants will fix it!
No offense to Robinson Meyer, but we definitely knew days like this would happen and have been warning about them for decades and only an idiot or asshole thinks anything different.
