As Canada wildfires choke US with smoke, Republicans demand action. But not on climate change

Republican legislators blame Canada to have not prevented and contained forest fires, whose smoke has hung the air in several states this year. In letters expressing indignation and indignation, they require more thinning of the forests, prescribed burns and other measures. They warned that smoke affects relations between countries and suggested that the United States could make a problem in tariff talks. But they do not mention climate change, caused mainly by the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and gas. Scientists say that it is a blatant omission which also ignores the American contribution to the bench gases which help prepare the ground for more intense forest fires.
