Bad air quality

The smoke from the wildfires in Canada is back. It's worse in the upper Midwest, Detroit and Chicago areas. The air quality index was about 151 when I checked, which is unhealthy for anyone. I wore a KN-95 mask when I went outside to take this photo. It helped.

This morning when I stepped outside, my throat started to hurt just after a few seconds. I can't imagine how bad it is in places where the smoke is worse.

Climate change is real. I wish more people would accept it. And I really wish nations, including ours, would hurry up and switch to renewable energy.
