New York City Mayor Eric Adams is telling New Yorkers to stay inside.
Why?
Poor air quality due to smoke reportedly from Canadian wildfires.
The air quality reached hazardous conditions in all five boroughs.
“We recommend vulnerable New Yorkers stay inside,” Adams said.
“All New Yorkers should limit outdoor activity to the greatest extent possible,” he added.

As all of you know by now, #Manhattan and many other #NewYorkCity borrows are covered in smoke from the #CanadianWildfires. I’ve never seen this. Here is a video taken at lunch time close to Pier40 – the New Jersey skyline is barely visible! pic.twitter.com/dNA0sjZgTT

A ground stop was issued in multiple New York City airports due to low visibility.

Meanwhile, Canada is burning to due to unprecedented wildfires.
Hundreds of fires are reportedly raging in Quebec and Ontario.
From BBC:
Tens of millions of people in North America have woken up to dangerous air quality levels as intense wildfires burn across Canada.
Smoke blanketed large areas of Ontario and Quebec, while an orange haze hung over much of the north-eastern US throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday.
Toronto and New York briefly ranked among the metro areas with the worst air quality in the world overnight.
Much of the smoke is coming from Quebec, where 160 fires are burning.
Canadian officials say the country is shaping up for its worst wildfire season on record.
Experts have pointed to a warmer and drier spring than normal as the reason behind the trend. These conditions are projected to continue throughout the summer.

CBS News added:
Smoke from wildfires in Canada is affecting air quality in parts of the U.S. Northeast, environmental officials said, and maps and satellite images are showing the large-scale impact of the blazes.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday one its satellites showed some of the smoke being “swept up” by a swirling system, adding that “numerous” air quality alerts were in effect across eastern and central parts of the U.S.
NOAA said smoke from the wildfires was “swept up by a large swirling low pressure system.”

Smoke & haze continue to move in from the north. In this satellite loop, you can see a thicker plume over central NY and northern PA which will be shifting in over the next few hours. Expect a reduction in visibility, poor air quality & the smell of smoke. #NYwx #NJwx #CTwx pic.twitter.com/Fzeq1u20Wh

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.
Between NYC in wildfire smoke and this in PR, it bears repeating how unprepared we are for the climate crisis.

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.
