There are more than 880 fires burning throughout Canada and the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre says at least 580 of the current wildfires are “out of control,” but no one is calling Canada a major pollutor and a cause of more global warming…
And the conflagrations are having an enormous impact on Canada’s neighbor, as well: Forecasters predicted around 70 million Americans on Monday would see decreased visibility and poor air quality, including residents of Chicago, Detroit, New York, St. Louis and Cleveland.
Smoke from the Canadian wildfires had drifted south by Monday evening, blanketing North Georgia, Atlanta and other parts of the southeast, according to the National Weather Service in Atlanta. The smoky conditions could linger in the Atlanta and the North Georgia area through Tuesday and over central and south Georgia possibly until Wednesday, NWS meteorologist Ansley Long told CNN.
