US Republicans Blame Canada for Wildfire Smoke, Ignore Own Policies | JQJO

Six Republican US lawmakers complained to Canada about wildfire smoke impacting Americans' summer, despite recently voting for a bill increasing greenhouse gas emissions worsening wildfires. The letter cites poor forest management and arson, omitting climate change as a factor. Experts attribute the increased wildfire frequency and intensity to climate change exacerbated by fossil fuel emissions. The bill, lauded by Republicans, is criticized by environmental groups for its detrimental effects on climate change and increased pollution.
