The smoke and haze emanating from the Canadian wildfires that have degraded the air quality along the Eastern United States is an “alarming” example of how climate change affects Americans’ lives, the White House said Wednesday.
The impact of the wildfires burning in Canada’s western provinces and Quebec could be felt as far away as South Carolina with eastern seaboard cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Washington taking the brunt.
“It is yet another alarming example of the ways in which the climate crisis is disturbing our lives and our communities,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at the daily press briefing.
