The Air Quality Index in my town is currently 260 (very unhealthy) due to a surge in wildfires in western Canada and the northwest US. There are additional smaller fires not shown on this map at this zoom level.

From the interactive map it looks like the worst air in the world right now.

Most of the deniers I know are in the Midwest. They've had "hundred year storms", draught, and winter cold now for about 5 years in a row and it didn't phase them. Finally this year they were blanketed in wildfire smoke (and in the 25 years I grew up there we never had smoke) - and finally some of them are starting to realize something is up.

Oh everyone else says it's a thing, well nothing happened to me so it's obviously fake.

but now that it is happening to them directly it might be worth looking into

No, they literally just blame the wildfires on space lasers.

Lets face it, that "something is up" is going to be something completely ridiculous and stupid. Source: Corona

I had a friend that made any imaginable excuse to not believe Corona. When there were no vaccines: wHy tHeRe aRe nO vAcCiNesss?. Where there were vaccines: "ThEy ArE dAnGeRoUs!!"

If someone doesn't believe in climate change by now, they are never going to believe it or do something against it.

Man it's weird, all this smoke, these floods, the regular -30 degree temps. I wonder why they're happening
