When we woke up to a blood red sky in NYC due to wild fires in Canada one of the first things they told us was to turn air conditioners off. It's not rocket science. Good grief!

Our ACs are largely drawing outside air though.

I thought that lady in traffic and all the other people should probably turn around and drive away from the rainbow smoke, though, not towards it...

I guess a lot of folks aren't aware of this though...

For a photo op.
Has he put his hands in his billionaire pocket to help?
Or will he get his surrogates to collect telephone numbers and send them a 1 am text saying Trump needs your bucks?
I don't think I've ever been so angry.
I despair. 😟🙈

What a complete disgrace. The whole country should have learned after W Bush's photo op in New Orleans following Katrina. He showed up here, but had to have power BROUGHT in, to get his photo op in front of our iconic cathedral-- because there was no source of power available for his spotlights. People were drowning and dying of hear exhaustion and dehydration within a few blocks, but he came and used our resources. No surprise that HIS was the party TFG chose.

Bush photo op was bad, but at least he was President. This is just a private citizen taking time, manpower and energy from those who need it.

I think they ask questions like this just to troll him.

Those photographs always amaze me.
If that is how our planet looks like from space, how would a more advanced civilization's planet would look like? And in which band of the spectrum would you be able to see them?
(Assuming they would be a species that manipulates the electromagnetic band as we do).

Other thought. Impressive how wide the path affected is. Or was.
