The Air Quality Index in my town is currently 260 (very unhealthy) due to a surge in wildfires in western Canada and the northwest US. There are additional smaller fires not shown on this map at this zoom level.

From the interactive map it looks like the worst air in the world right now.

    Sorry guys. Shit’s kinda fucked up here, but there are some real heroes getting busy up here. We’re almost out of stuff to burn I think, and people keep stealing fire fighters gear to try and save their own property so yeah, at this rate, climate will win shortly and there won’t be anything left soonish.

    Again, sorry guys.

      Yeah seeing how people have reacted to some of the stuff that’s started to happen with climate change and also the pandemic, I have less than zero faith in how humanity will rise to some of the coming challenges. Negative faith.

      Again, sorry guys.

      Canadian confirmed.

      But no worries. That high altitude smoke has been moderating temperatures in my neck of the woods and we’ve had a pleasant summer and low electric bills.
