| 0:00.0 | Today we're talking about CNN's implosion, which is a sight to witness. |
| 0:03.8 | Our New York looks like a dystopian hellscape today. The goat, Lionel Messi, snubbed Saudi |
| 0:08.3 | Arabia and is joining MLS. We've got all that and so much more on today's brand new |
| 0:12.1 | Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news. So buckle up, hit that like button, |
| 0:16.6 | and let's just jump into it. Starting with, the air in New York City right now is absolutely horrible. |
| 0:21.5 | The New York Times reporting, even if temporarily, even if just briefly, New York's air quality |
| 0:25.4 | ranked as the worst of any city in the world on Tuesday. |
| 0:28.3 | With Mayor Eric Adams' warning, while conditions are anticipated to temporarily improve later |
| 0:31.7 | tonight through tomorrow morning, they're expected to deteriorate further tomorrow afternoon |
| 0:35.1 | and evening, and saying we recommend all New Yorkers limit outdoor activity to the greatest extent possible. |
| 0:39.5 | But those viral photos and videos in New York only tell part of the story. |
| 0:42.0 | The big question, of course, is why is this happening? |
| 0:44.1 | Because New York's air quality is actually generally in the good category. |
| 0:46.9 | And it turns out the reason for all this is that Canada is currently smoking out New York. |
| 0:50.3 | Because right now, coast to coast, there are hundreds of fires most of them consider to be out of control. But the fires in the Canadian province of Quebec, due to their concentration and |
| 0:57.6 | amount of smoke, are considered to be the worst right now. And reportedly, it's destroyed over |
| 1:00.9 | 740,000 acres of forest, which, just to give you some context there, that would put it among the largest |
| 1:05.6 | California wildfires ever. Now, currently in the most recent places, there have been no reported deaths and only moderate damaged communities. It's just kind of astounding when you consider how big these fires have been, |
| 1:14.2 | although many thousands have had to evacuate and there's a decent chance that could change by the time that you see this. |
| 1:18.2 | But while there hasn't been much damage to humans directly, the fact, it's so bad in some areas that people with respiratory and mobility issues are being moved to safer areas. And that's just with Canada, right? Here in the U.S., we've also had to issue major air quality warnings throughout the entire Northeast. Right, it's not just New York City. And beyond just being one of the largest fires in Canada ever, it's also a telltale sign of worsening climate. Right, because when you see all this, it might be easy to try to make a comparison to California. It's where on base is a lot of fires out here. |
| 1:45.0 | But a key thing to remember is that the reality is that Quebec's ecosystem is fundamentally different. |
| 1:49.0 | Because the ecosystems of places like much of California and Australia are adapted to massive destructive wildfires every year. |
