NYC issues air quality warnings today as smoke from Canadian wildfires reaches the city. I was outside by the East River 20 minutes ago and started to seriously notice a wood/fire/smoke smell and my lungs felt like they were on fire. Many people were wearing masks and looked confused or nervous. This is unprecedented and it's related to Collapse because events like these seem to be speeding up exponentially to the point it is interfering with everyday life and can no longer be ignored by even the most ardent deniers. Here's the mayor's tweet: [https://twitter.com/nycgov/status/1666214345687048194?ref\_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet](https://twitter.com/nycgov/status/1666214345687048194?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) ​ And the weather channel tweet: [https://twitter.com/weather\_katie/status/1666227834791108611?ref\_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet](https://twitter.com/weather_katie/status/1666227834791108611?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet)
