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.

    It’s already predicted that we would live as species in the artic circles as that’s the only area still inhabitable with the prospected 3-4C temp rise. (as long as it’s high enough) I’m not sure if I’d want to live to see that happen.

      Do you have a link for that, by chance? The 2 C predictions have us living in a wrecked world with almost no coral reefs but with about the same agricultural output, IIRC.
