ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The haze from Canada’s wildfires returned to the East Coast on Thursday, including in New York City, the entire state of Pennsylvania, and the Mid-Atlantic, including Washington. This week, residents of Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities experienced conditions similar to what New Yorkers confronted in early June, when a plume of smoke bathed the city in an acrid cloud over two days. Air quality in New York City and surrounding counties was generally good to moderate Thursday afternoon, but conditions upstate were a different story. Although air quality across the state was better on Thursday than it was three weeks ago, Governor Kathy Hochul said during a news briefing that the air was “unhealthy in every corner of the state of New York.” It could remain that way until next week’s Fourth of July celebrations, she said. Residents in some cities were encouraged to stay indoors. By Thursday morning, there were at least 500 active wildfires in Canada, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. More than half were burning out of control. Canada has been experiencing its worst wildfire season in decades, with fires burning from British Columbia on the west coast to Nova Scotia on the other side of the country, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. Climate research suggests that heat and drought associated with global warming are major reasons for the increase in the bigger and stronger fires.
