Excellent overview of a confounding situation. Not only is the Trump administration doing everything possible to stop climate change activism, President Trump yesterday said he intended to punish Canada financially (e.g. much higher tariffs) for the wildfire smoke drifting southward into the United States.
BS. Canada did not cause these wildfires more than the USA did. The USA is the larger producer & exporter of gas, which at every step from harvest, thru transport & burning allowed unneccesary release of methane, just for profit of industry. Now it is time to change goals. Survival trumps profit.
I don't love that this is happening, but it is very, very important that more people understand how we are being hurt by continued release of green house gasses, primarily from the gas drilling industry. Gas must stay in the ground, if we can have a chance to thrive in this warming world.
