Little disappointed there isn't four paragraphs from RU#s in here with a meteorological / forestry thesis highlighted by couple self quotes from 2017 where he warned us this was inevitable in 2023.
OT: Haze from the fires

He was educated by TV news.
To be clear, denying rapidly accelerated climate change at this point is silly. It's beneath and beyond silly. The average sea surface temps in the North Atlantic have risen 1 degree Celsius since 1980. It may not sound like a lot, but that's the average - there are higher seasonal spike, winters are warmer in the Atlantic than at any time in recorded history and the Arctic Ocean ice pack is very rapidly becoming a thing of the past - and the rate of temperature rise is increasing. This definitely will impact our climate.
BUT... You are correct, forest fires are quite normal in Canada and to say this particular event is climate change-driven is a reach, at best.
Take your propaganda to CE
Actually this is an anomalous event for the US. It’s extremely rare for smoke densities this high to cover this amount of area. Out west you only experience this is you are directly downstream from a fire and certain topographic features keep it bottled in specific areas. My AQI is 234 which is higher than most of the areas directly adjacent to the actual fires.
Fairly large forest fire in Jackson, which should grow to 100 acres.
@tom1944 - hope you are OK and out of harm's way. Near the Glory Market.

Just stop - ever time we have any kind of weird issue with the nature you come out and blame "Climate Change" (of course that name allows you to claim anything). Maybe there are just some forest fires and a wind coming from the north: Relax

I don't know if it's the Jackson or Canada fire but over the past couple hours it's gone from nothing to a really strong smoke smell. Being the wind at the Sea Girt station is out of the WNW I'm guessing Jackson is more a bit more likely.
I swear a decent percentage of the people on this board (the world maybe?) simply have 3rd grade reading comprehension abilities or maybe they actually just read half a sentence and think they've read the whole thing. And if they didn't post about it, it would at least not be publicly embarrassing, but to then post complete nonsense in reply removes all doubt about that person's moron status.
It's goddamn smoky out there. Seemed like one minute it was just a little hazy and then the winds picked up and it went to full on BBQ out there. Was outside in it for several hours - wild looking sunset too, almost as if we were in a partial eclipse. Code Orange.

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IS IN EFFECT FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE 7...
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued
a code orange air quality alert Wednesday for Middlesex and
Mercer Counties.
A code orange air quality alert means that air pollution
concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for
sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children...people
suffering from asthma... heart disease or other lung
diseases...and the elderly. The effects of air pollution can
be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.
For more information on ground-level ozone and fine
particles...visit http://www.state.nj.us/dep/
It's Quebec. The Jackson fire is only 50 acres, while the huge low in New England has been funneling winds and smoke towards our area all day from where massive fires (nearly 700,000 acres) are burning in Quebec and this will continue into tomorrow.
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
900 PM EDT Tue Jun 6 2023
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The Red Flag Warning has expired for the area. Winds are expected
to be light enough Wednesday to preclude any further RFW issuance.
The haze and smoke plumes from the raging wildfires in Quebec
will be the main story tonight and Wednesday. These air quality
concerns continue Wednesday with an Air Quality Alert in place
for NJ, DE, eastern PA, and the eastern shores of Maryland. The
smoke and haze will continue to funnel down across the Northeast
from Quebec and result in unhealthy air quality. RAP/HRRR near
surface smoke guidance continues to show high concentrations of
smoke and haze at the surface throughout the day, with the worst
currently forecasted Wednesday afternoon and evening. High
temperatures should reach the upper 70s, though thick haze and
smoke may hinder daytime heating and keep temperatures on the
cooler side.
A bit smokey last night yeh? Two shots from my place, one from the Spring with two Navy Hawkeye E-2 coming down the river.
He would have been emphatic that the smoke would blow west, only to ignore and deny he ever said that once it went east.

We got the double whammy of smoke last night. Had to close all the windows and turn up the AC. Saw this morning they already have it under control.
Yeah. Still have a smoke smell but nowhere near as bad as last night.
Wait.... Is it drying up or are we underwater in 10 years? How much $ do I have to give all you geniuses to save me? I can't keep up.
Should I change my plan to move up to coastal Martha's Vineyard to escape the rising sea level with the Obamas? Heard covid can't live in the air up there and I can have huge tent parties during pandemics too.
Let me know so I can cancel the moving van if the latest existential threat has changed again.
The hilarious thing is that most crunchy people would literally die in actual nature without all modern conveniences. Kids today(including my own) would hang themselves with no Wi-Fi.
Go outside and rub some sun on your face. Enjoy life and please stop trying to save me. I don't think I can survive all you helpers.

It's even extraterrestrial! Are near miss asteroids the result of global warming? CNN isn't sure.
Wow, you had to dig deep for that one and it's pretty obvious to me the CNN interviewer's question was tongue-in-cheek.

That was during my two years at WVU. They had to turn the light on at Mountaineer Field for a noon game vs. Virginia Tech.
You guys are doing it wrong, or it must be a vacuum chamber between koleszar and the ocean over here. Not a whiff of anything. Our fire dept was dispatched to go to Jackson last evening, but then canceled. Forest fires are hard work.
That doesn't look like it's from the same vantage point?

Supposed to get worse again this afternoon into this evening.
According to weather.com wind will be shifting this afternoon which should make it better.
One was 29th floor (clear day, directly above front door) the other was building entrance. (Smokey)
well, clearly, the CNN host was clueless.. but at a minimum, it was an attempt to get Bill Nye to link the asteroid to climate change if there were any way for him to do so.. or at least comment about climate change while he spoke about the asteroid.
The scientists who report on things like the medieval warming period or the 10000-year-old ice core samples that show very high temps on earth.. they are ignored or worse when it comes to discussing recorded history temperatures that are a blip on Earth's timeline. Why is that? My guess is it is because such information is not in line with some other agenda that is using the climate change story... that needs the "crisis". The political axiom "Do not let a crisis go to waste" has moved on to creating crises on demand.

Sounds good to me. I just regurgitated what Dan Zarrow said during the weather on 101.5 this morning.
Heard stories of people who rarely use an inhaler having to go it several times already today. sightings of people who work outdoors wearing serious respirators... smart people.
