About that smoke plume supposedly hanging out in the skies over New York City that Fox News Senior Producer and Meteorologist Greg Diamond is raising global warming hysteria, we think it smells more like burned down peoples’ homes than a “camp fire” or your “neighbor’s barbecue”.
What Diamond is broadly hinting is that a potentially deadly plume of smoke from out of control Canadian forest fires yesterday reached all the way down to New York City—and it’s all Nova Scotia’s fault.
While Canada Free Press (CFP) does not have Diamond’s murky climate change crystal ball or wonky computer models, it does have the decided advantage of being right on the scene of the catastrophic fires, which only yesterday reached the part of the peninsula CFP calls home.

Judi: Why the hysteria over Greg Diamond's not unreasonable reporting of the impact of the Canadian wildfires on the air in NYC? I usually enjoy and applaud your commentaries, but this one complains because someone else is not complaining about something you think he should be complaining about. We'd like to hear more about the impact of these wildfires on Canada; that would be worth commenting on.

And how anyone can wonder why so many people left Fox News for Newsmax is beyond explanation. But, this article does a darn good job of showing how far left the network has moved.

"The plume of smoke from the raging fires in Nova Scotia is expected to drift hundreds of miles to the southeast over New York City and surrounding regions Tuesday evening into Wednesday, bringing hazy skies and decreased air quality, according to meteorologists."
I'm confused. NYC is not southeast of Nova Scotia. Looking at windfinder.com right now, the prevailing winds are heading from Nova Scotia to the northeast, into Newfoundland and Labrador, as they almost always do.
This is nothing more than a scare piece by Fox/NYP, using the fires in Nova Scotia as the excuse. You cannot trust any media anymore.

Apparently Mr Diamond has never been to an area where smoke is blown in from a forest fire. I visited Washington State in 2017 and some fires were raging east of there I think in Idaho. We went up on Artist Point to see Mt Baker but you could not see Mt Baker because of all the smoke. When smoke from a forest fire comes in you will NOT think it might be your neighbors barbecue.

I'm a bit confused. Being a landlocked landlubber my concept of westerlies and easterlies may be different from yours. In my mind a westerly would be a wind or breeze coming from the west. In Alberta, our chinooks are considered a warm, southwest breeze, i.e: blowing from the southwest towards the northeast direction. Whatever, this only matters in the comment that the smoke was heading to the "southeast" towards NYC. If this is not an errant mistake in your writing this post (I don't think it was) then it would seem Fix News' meteorologist should spend a little bit more time with a North American atlas since New York City lies a few degrees west from southwest of Nova Scotia. The fires in Alberta (thankfully much less pressing, due to much needed rain, but not totally under control even now) have actually sent smoke out over the Atlantic, as many as hundreds of miles east of the coastline. This happened before the Nova Scotia fires even became a serious situation. So NYC's smoke may actually still be from Alberta and/or B.C. and maybe Saskatchewan. I follow a farmer who farms in west-central Minnesota and his blue sky days and sunrise-sunsets are still being affected by Alberta's wildfires and have been so for nearly a month since since the Alberta wildfire situation first blew up. The smoke is well to the east and southeast of Minnesota as well. Atmospherics and lay of the land have caused this Alberta smoke to venture far beyond it's usual range this year. Not climate change, just an anomaly. Also, something unusual this spring; again, not global warming; is the flip from La Niña to El Niño in the Pacific is happening very quickly this year. This is not a rare occurrence but it's also not particularly common either, every 20 to 30 years or so. Could well be the cause of the torrential rains here and there in the western U.S. and also the unusual upper level wind currents spreading Alberta's wildfire smoke all over the central and eastern U.S. this year.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your corner of the country.
