Dozens of wildfires are burning in the Canadian province of Québec, and the smoke is so bad that it’s causing air quality problems across large swaths of the U.S.

The National Weather Service said air quality has “plummeted” across the Northeast.

Officials from the Midwest to the East Coast and as far south as North Carolina are warning residents to take precautions as the hazy smoke floats south and poses a risk to public health.

      Well, the geniuses all seem to agree that’s the solution to any complex geopolitical problem, so yeah, why not? I think it should have fans on top to keep us cool and blow the smoke back up north. Maybe even “outdoor AC” units. There’ll be all those pesky so-called “Great” Lakes in the way, but we can probably fill them in with dirt trucked in (diesel only, no using those Commie “diesel-electric” trains) from all our brand new desert states.
