As almost 900 wildfires rage across the vast northern forests of Canada, Pacific storm systems direct some of the smoke into the Upper Midwest and Northeastern U.S. Of course, this angers Our Dear Leader and it is one of the reasons that he threatens to impose a 50% tariff on our neighbor. In his opinion, the Canadian government should be doing more to control the wildfires.
Our warming climate is primarily responsible for this widespread disaster, reducing snowfall and rain across the Great Northwoods. Unfortunately, Trump and his Cabinet do not accept the "hoax" of climate change, choosing to cut emissions regulations, withdraw funds from green energy projects and encourage the rebirth of coal-fueled power plants.
Of all his disastrous policies imposed upon our country, Trump's disdain for environmentalism may have the greatest long-term effect. Hopefully, the private sector will resist this folly and ignore his repeal of established environmental laws. After all, they know by now that a Blue Wave is coming in November.
