Summary
Smoke from Canada’s raging wildfires has blanketed the U.S. Midwest and Northeast, turning skies orange and shattering air quality records — with cities like Chicago and New York ranking among the worst in the world. Over 100 out-of-control fires are fueling the crisis, their smoke lofted by the jet stream across hundreds of miles. Health officials urge people to stay indoors as the situation shows no immediate relief, with climate change making these increasingly frequent and deadly smoke events a grim preview of what’s to come — and projections warn of a dramatic rise in smoke-related deaths unless fossil fuel emissions are drastically cut.
