Upstate NY here, it basically looks like Fallout NV outside right now
The pollution levels in Ottawa are 10x higher than the WHO recommended limit, it literally looks like that Mexico filter they use in movies outside.
@MetalAirship @Wilshire I’m not even in #NewYork and I’m seeing smog too, although it’s not as bad as what y’all got
Least apocalyptic democracy.
As someone living in the Pacific Northwest, we deal with this every year and have seen no change in behavior around climate change. I’m honestly glad the rest of the country has to experience this, especially Washington DC. Maybe we’ll finally see some real action on climate change now.
I’m in the north east, and it was crazy how much smoke was in the air today.
Last night was horrific here in NYC (still not great now). I’d invest in an air purifier right now if you don’t have one already
edit: drastically worse than yesterday now.
Chicagoland here. We’ve been getting air quality sheets for the past 1.5-2 weeks
It’s nice here compared to New York/DC
Except we need rain! But yeah - no smog/smoke that i can see. although i wonder if yesterday’s cloud cover had something to do with the wildfires.
We are in an apocalypse of sorts, its just the slow motion kind that unfolds over decades, long enough for people to try to ignore it. Things get a little more hard to ignore when the sky is brown and the sun in red.
We’re the frogs getting slowly boiled.
I wish we did more prescribed burns up here. Things just get to a tipping point and then it’s insanity.
