I know people in Alberta who believe the fires are intentionally set by the liberals to make climate change seem real
And the same liberals sneak chemicals into their coffee to give them a micropenis.
But its soooooo expensiveeeeeeeeeee I'd rather just let the country burn

Remember when Canada sucked its own dick in the early days of carbon accounting:
"We're fine! We have these big forests that are carbon sinks!"
Yeah...
We're just pretending now that wildfire smoke doesn't count in our national emissions, and that whoever smelled it dealt it.
Remember when the article was talking about air quality and fine particulate matter, not carbon emissions?
Remember when the article was talking about forest fires, like my comment about forest fires?
Only 13 of 143 countries met the World Health Organization’s recommended limits (WHO)
Wtf Scotty, this is a serious issue. Quit fucking around.
If everybody else shits on the floor we should too. Amazing logic there Scotty, as always.
Why so uneasy? Air pollution is a serious and, above all, a global issue. It's sad that Canada is among the least 25% polluted states while still above the threshold. Most other large economies are lagging behind with the second-largest economy, China, facing an air pollution 4 times higher than Canada's.

does google not exist at the troll farm you're working at? https://www.iqair.com/ca/world-air-quality-ranking
If what you say is correct, China is doing something majorly correct around air pollution if they only produce 4 times the same. Even if their per-capita pollution was the same as ours, things would so much worse right now.
Yeah? China's government started to censor air quality data in the 2010s. They simply told the company that made the 'China Air Quality Index' app for Apple and Android mobile to stop displaying pollution levels that exceeded an official point (you'll find ample evidence for this across the web). I don't know whether they still censor it in China, but the air pollution there is still alarmingly high.
To use your words: This is a serious issue. Quit fucking around.
