    This is hilarious considering they fucked over the EPA provision that prevented one state’s emissions from harming another (eg Ohio smoke causing acid rain in upstate NY).

    I’m calling it. Pretty soon Trump is going to demand the construction of giant fans along the US/Canada border to blow all the smoke back into Canada.

    They could take action themselves and enact better climate policies. Could have done so decades ago and maybe we wouldn’t have record wildfires every year.

    We’d love to. You know we get it first and in higher concentration, right? Not to mention all our shit that burns down in the process.

    And I mean, it’s from the climate change that you helped make as well…

    I hope they put this line in the history books when they cover 21st century climate change.
