We'll have some less smoky summers, but get used to smokier MN summer trend until we reduce GHG emissions.
Canada has 1.2 BILLION ACRES of boreal forests.
Hotter drier climate sucks more moisture from dry fuels.
Unfortunately this is the tip of the iceberg for smoke potential.

Please share and help spread the word! We need to start holding these billion dollar companies accountable and not rely on the government to clean up this pollution with TAXPAYER MONEY!!!
EPA tells @planetdetroit.org that BASF's ongoing pollution at its Wyandotte facility could delay Detroit River cleanup. Michigan is trying to get hundreds of millions from the feds to do this, but its 40-year failure to rein in BASF could stand in the way. planetdetroit.org/2024/12/detr...
EPA says BASF's ongoing pollution could delay Detroit River cleanup
BASF's Wyandotte facility may hinder Detroit River cleanup efforts, says EPA. Ongoing pollution could delay or prevent sediment cleanup.
