Holy smoke. Welcome in for another edition of Screencaps where we address the heavy plume of smoke from Canadian wildfires (allegedly) that is hanging over NW Ohio. We're probably talking some of the worst air quality in the world right now and it's literally over the Screencaps HQ.
How bad is it? Just opening an external door will take your breath away. That's not an exaggeration. It's actually eery how still it is. The smoke, and the putrid plastic smell is just hovering.
Which brings me to this thought: How is it possible that these Canadian wildfires weren't a thing until three summers ago? The New York Times says it's all climate change. CBC, Canada's national news outlet, is currently telling kids on its CBC Kids News site that "wildfires are likely to happen more often. They may also be more powerful."

Why? Climate change. "The Canadian government is working on plans to adapt to — or prepare for — this reality," CBC says.
And what's in that plan? They're not saying.
Where does this all go? I'd love to hear from you guys. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but this is a moment in time we should be on high alert. What are the politicians up to?
