US EditionAs Canada wildfires choke US with smoke, Republicans demand action. But not on climate change
The Canadian government allocated nearly $46 million to fund 30 projects focusing on wildfire prevention, risk assessment, and Indigenous-led fire stewardship programs.
- Republicans in several US states have demanded that Canada take action to control wildfires that are causing hazardous air quality, but have not mentioned addressing climate change as a solution.
- Over 700 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, two-thirds of them out of control, with more than 72,520 square kilometres burned so far this year.
- Climate scientists argue that the US and Canada should collaborate on climate change solutions, as the smoke from wildfires impacts both countries, and the underlying cause is known and can be addressed.
