I know this article is a few days old. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the author of this fear mongering article itching for climate lockdowns this summer?

Expect murders to drop. all the smoke in the air makes it harder to define targets

[DarrellZero]

It means that Canada has more forest than it can possibly control and sometimes stuff is catch on fire?

[teacherwoes]

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!

[frank ballenger]

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.

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.

[ChicagoConservative27]

I’m sorry to hear that

[frank ballenger]

Idea. Force two or three million of the 12 million illegals to wave feathery fans to blow the nasty air away.

[jmacusa]

“You hosers are in for a stern lecture’’.

Yup, you betacha!

Eh, Greta. Hark off ya hoser!’’

[metmom]

Who knows?

God may send lots of rain and put them out.

The wind might shift direction and the smoke go somewhere else.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Amen

[sit-rep]

funny how it “Envelopes” a city 550 miles away from canada’s borders, but doesnt do anything to all the cities in between...

[Jonty30]

Blame Canada  

[Jonty30]

It also reflects mismanagement, because Canada exercises benign neglect and let’s it build.

[airborne]

Answer - It’s gonna be smoky in Chicago this summer.

Climate alarmist arsons?
