Ground Stop at Eastern U.S. Airports


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for New York City’s LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport due to low visibility caused by wildfire smoke from Canada.

“The FAA has slowed traffic to and from New York City area airports due to reduced visibility from wildfire smoke,” the FAA tweeted.

Philadelphia International Airport also experienced delays to the conditions.

“The FAA is now slowing traffic from the East Coast and Midwest bound for Philadelphia International Airport due to reduced visibility from wildfire smoke,” the FAA wrote.

This followed major airlines in and around New York and New Jersey warning of potential delays due to the smoke.

“The FAA has taken steps to manage the flow of traffic into the New York City area due to reduced visibility from wildfire smoke,” the agency told FOX Business in a statement. “Flights from the Upper Midwest and East Coast bound for LaGuardia International Airport have been paused.”

“Flights to Newark Liberty International Airport have been slowed,” it added.

“Low visibility due to smoke conditions in the region is impacting flight arrivals & departures. Contact your airline to determine flight status,” LaGuardia Airport wrote.

The New York Post added:

The FAA issued the ground stop at LaGuardia due to “reduced visibility” as a thick haze from wildfires raging near Quebec choked Gotham for the second day in a row, an FAA official told The Post.

Takeoffs at the airport were delayed by an average of 30 minutes Wednesday afternoon as landings were “paused,” the official said.

Meanwhile, passengers at Newark suffered through an average of 80-minute delays due to the poor visibility, according to the FAA.

There were no ground stops or delays reported at JFK as of Wednesday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams cautioned New Yorkers to stay indoors due to poor air quality.

However, something doesn’t smell right about the wildfires raging across Eastern Canada.

It seems too early in the year for this amount of wildfires and temperatures aren’t blazing hot.

Also, Canadian wildfires are more common in western provinces.

What gives?

Unsurprisingly, politicians are using the “crisis” to push the climate change agenda.

“This smoke and fog over New York and the rest of the Northeast is a warning from nature that we have a lot of work to do to reverse the destruction of climate change,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

“We must adapt our food systems, energy grids, infrastructure, healthcare, etc ASAP to prepare for what’s to come and catch up to what is already here. #GreenNewDeal,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said.

What about arson?

What if human activity, specifically globalist militant activity, caused the wildfires?

“Forest fires occur frequently in Québec, often being caused by human activity,” Quebec’s government page states.

According to journalist Keean Bexte, Justin Trudeau’s former adviser Gerald Butts blames climate change for fires started by arsonists.

With the ‘unprecedented’ Canadian wildfires in May and early June, it’s illogical to think amateur arsonists started these fires.

A more strategic, militant operation sounds more reasonable to push the climate change agenda.

Greg Reese investigated the wildfires in the latest Reese Report.
