The smoke over NY and other states near Canada is not related to America’s EPA regulations. It is due to Canadian wildfires, about half of which are started by lightning and the other half are human-caused. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-did-the-wildfires-in-canada-start-cause-nova-scotia-quebec/# https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/interactive/2023/canada-wildfires-smoke-nyc-photos/ https://www.syracuse.com/weather/2023/06/haze-dirty-air-from-canada-wildfires-linger-another-day-in-upstate-ny.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/07/air-quality-where-is-wildfire-smoke-the-worst-live/70297479007/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pictures-new-york-city-nyc-smoke-canada-wildfire-haze/ https://fortune.com/2023/06/06/canadian-wildfires-smoky-air-sky-new-york-city/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/smoke-maps-canada-fires.html
