Even as the skies clear and the Air Quality Index improves, we are confronted with so many questions about our future when it comes to smoke in the sky. Lee Golberg and his expert guest break it down for us.
In a special episode of "Weather or Not with Lee Goldberg," we are addressing the crisis of hazardous, smoky air that enveloped New York City and much of the East Coast this week as a result of forest fires raging in Canada.
Even as the skies clear and the Air Quality Index improves, we are confronted with so many questions: Was this a one-time thing? Will the smoke from these still-raging Canadian fires be back? And what is driving these fires and the smoke in our skies, hundreds of miles away? How is our warming planet playing a role in all of this?
Horton helps us understand why exactly this is happening, and how climate change also poses threats on other fronts, from rising sea levels and powerful rain events to prolonged heat waves.
