💨 Abstract

Republican lawmakers blamed Canada for wildfires and smoke affecting U.S. air quality, demanding more forest management but ignoring climate change. Canada, meanwhile, is dealing with record-breaking wildfires and has pledged more funding for prevention but seeks international cooperation. While wildfires are often started by humans or lightning, climate change is exacerbating the conditions. Some U.S. Democrats criticized Republicans for failing to address climate change, while experts suggest U.S.-Canada collaboration on climate solutions is crucial.
