The Lingering Impact of Canadian Wildfires and Asthma's Climate Connection
The Canadian wildfires continue to burn, sending smoke across the northern United States. The government is struggling to contain the fires due to their widespread nature, limited resources, and the challenges posed by remote and hard-to-reach areas. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with warmer and drier conditions creating a tinder-dry environment. Lack of federal coordination between provinces has also hindered firefighting efforts. However, Canada is receiving assistance from international firefighters. Experts suggest that eastern provinces should adopt the practice of deliberate burning to mitigate the impact of wildfires in the future.
