Trump threatens tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke
It’s tragic that CO₂ doesn’t look and smell like wildfire smoke.
Andrew Todd9I can see why we didn't evolve to detect CO₂ in the way that we did other, more immediately noxious gases, but hot damn it's proving to be an unexpectedly poor evolutionary decision in the long run
Rob Toftness3I sometimes imagine if car exhaust was visible year round and not just when it was really cold. Also if it was a colored hue like purple and I think we'd have a much different world now. We could see how smoky the bars were and we kicked those fools out.
Who has all the money?2It makes no difference to the rock heads on the right drooling to Fox News. They have already blamed Canada and the zombies drool and nod.
Herr Doktor Merkwürdigliebe2The should inject mercaptan with the wildfire......
Grant.flac2Is it? It doesn’t even seem like everyone being choked by smoke twice yearly has led to any actionable change, either. Quite the opposite in fact!
“The cost of climate-worsened wildfire smoke alone is larger than what earlier studies said every other estimated cost of climate change would be, combined.”
Better Pensions BC 🇨🇦🇺🇦 - now with 50% more anti-fascism!9Surely a few more pipelines and LNG plants will fix it!
runningbyrd.bsky.social7No offense to Robinson Meyer, but we definitely knew days like this would happen and have been warning about them for decades and only an idiot or asshole thinks anything different.
Greg Greene (he/him/his)5How much would you pay not to live like this? I need to think about a number, but I’d pay quite a bit.
Poison Ivy did nothing wrong2Every fascist and neoliberal: "You didn't say it was going to be like this!" Entire rest of the planet: "Oh yes we fucking did, and we have over a *century*'s worth of receipts!" Fascists and neoliberals will never admit that they were wrong, so they can never admit they were adequately warned.
Trump is threatening to tariff Canada for smoke from fires, saying they don’t do mitigation (which is bullshit), the week a Canadian pilot died fighting fire in Colorado. Great stuff
