We're under an Air Quality Advisory in Michigan again, with levels in the orange and red zones. This is the second time this year smoke from the Canadian Fires has descended to visibly surround us in unhealthy haze. While I can recall a similar situation happening for a few days two or three years ago, I have no recollection of this much smoke in the air prior to that time. Which makes me wonder how this recently became such a wide-spread problem and what might have changed with regard to Canadian Forest and Fire Management to bring this about? While the convenient answer is "climate change" , I'm more inclined to believe this has more to do with a decline in money and effort spent on forestry management.
