RFJ Jr. says it's 'hypocritical' to blame Canada for wildfires, 'foolish' to attribute problem to single cause
Fox News
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it's "hypocritical" to blame Canada for the wildfire smoke coating parts of the East Coast and prompting air-quality concerns.
"It would be hypocritical to blame Canada for a problem that afflicts U.S. forests as well," Kennedy said in exclusive comments to Fox News Digital. "Besides, attributing wildfires to a single cause would be foolish. Decades of fire suppression, the loss of apex predators and keystone species, ecological disruption due to pesticides, changing climate, soil loss leading to intensified flood-drought cycles and depletion of aquifers all may contribute to the problem." Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Smoke from ongoing wildfires in Canada has traveled as far as South Carolina, casting a thick haze that caused air quality in New York City and Washington, D.C., to drop to record lows. A number of professional sports teams have even postponed games over air-quality concerns.
