Blame Canada

Tiny, airborne smoke particles blowing in from Canadian wildfires resisted dispersal from a steady, light rain across the Chicago area Wednesday, concentrating even more Thursday to reach levels unhealthy for the general public. The smoke pushed northeast Illinois into its third day in a row of bad air quality Friday and the state into its first two air pollution action days of the year.
Chicago’s air quality was ranked the worst in the United States on Thursday, according to Swiss air quality technology company IQAir. At one point during the day, The Washington Post reported, the city had the second-worst air quality among the world’s major cities.
“Whatever pollutants were in the air (Wednesday), because of the rain, got suppressed and deposited on the ground. But the wildfires are still happening in the north,” said Ashish Sharma, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, whose research focuses on climate and air quality modeling. “It is sending smoke continuously. Rain would have offset the past smoke, but it won’t offset the new smoke.”

Expect murders to drop. all the smoke in the air makes it harder to define targets
It means that Canada has more forest than it can possibly control and sometimes stuff is catch on fire?
Does this mean taxes will be going up because of “health concerns”?
Where’s Mayor Daley when you need him?
I stayed inside during the Michigan highest air quality alerts this week because I really don’t like the idea (at age 79) of having PERMENENT residence of particulates small enough to enter through my lungs and bloodstream into organs and my brain.
Not just the coughing and eye irritation——particles in my body. No thanks.
Detroit (not a long drive away from me) was rated the 5th worst air in a city in the world this week.
Another reason to hate Canada.
It’s not good here in North Central Illinois, either. It’s been June Gloom all day…
What about infrared targeting? Talk about conspiracy theories.
Funny how this all kicks in around the same time the tariffs were imposed on the Canuks?
Hmmm. Tin foil hat time!
Ha. Like the Covid days. “Get your hands up or I’ll use this gun.” Victim drops dead on the floor from Covid. Too late.
> Smoky air from Canadian wildfires… <
I heard that Greta Thunberg has turned her ship around, and is now heading for Canada instead of Gaza.
You hosers are in for a stern lecture.
🗣️
I’m sorry to hear that
Idea. Force two or three million of the 12 million illegals to wave feathery fans to blow the nasty air away.
“You hosers are in for a stern lecture’’.
Yup, you betacha!
Eh, Greta. Hark off ya hoser!’’
Who knows?
God may send lots of rain and put them out.
The wind might shift direction and the smoke go somewhere else.
Amen
funny how it “Envelopes” a city 550 miles away from canada’s borders, but doesnt do anything to all the cities in between...
It also reflects mismanagement, because Canada exercises benign neglect and let’s it build.
Answer - It’s gonna be smoky in Chicago this summer.
Climate alarmist arsons?
