    Very good reporting on a frightening situation. Over 400 active wildfires in Alberta, Eastern Quebec and Nova Scotia as on today, June 6 – about 200 considered. ‘Out of Control’. This is early June! If climate change (global warming) doesn’t interest you yet, please smell the smoke while you smell your coffee. It’s wake up time for all of us.

      The people of Quebec are saying that it hasn’t been dry, it’s still cold and they are still getting frost. If you’ve seen pictures of the smoke it’s black. Forests don’t burn black…but oil does. It’s not climate change.

    According to ‘AirNow’ interactive mapping, Western NY is in a red allert situation of particulate emmissions from wildfires in Quebec and ADK. We cannot wait til ‘The Day after Tomorrow’ to douse our backyard bbq and campfires everywhere.

    The black smoke is from the pine tar from the trees !
    Mother nature when dry conditions are present in the deep woods !
    Fire can spread at a rapid pace with a little head wind ? Beware !
