The U.S. has already provided Canada with more than 600 firefighters and support teams, as well as water bombers, to help fight the fires.
WASHINGTON — A hazy, acrid shroud lingered over some of America's largest cities Wednesday as Canadian wildfire smoke continued to drift south, touching off"code red" air quality alerts from Massachusetts to North Carolina.
On Twitter, which was awash Wednesday in photos and videos of the otherworldly scene, the National Weather Service posted a time-lapse video that showed the New York skyline gradually disappearing behind a thick orange veil. Deputy national security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall has been"listening to them and making sure we're offering any assistance that they might need," but so far the president and the prime minister have not spoken, Jean-Pierre said.
By now, most Americans are on board with the idea that climate change is fuelling more serious natural disasters and unpredictable atmospheric events, said Gerrard. But the ones who really need to experience it are in Washington. On Tuesday, climate activists interrupted an event in D.C. with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, whose status as a moderate Democrat in a ruby-red state has made him a coveted ally in a narrowly divided Congress.
