https://www.wbrc.com/video/2024/07/25/co-denver-air-quality-ranked-worst-country-how-does-wildfire-smoke-effect-us/This is becoming a regular thing, with wildfire smoke invading the Front Range from Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Thank 40 years of republicans' Climate denial, fossil fuel lobbyist whores, and Big Oil, Coal, and Gas lying through their teeth.

Around Jellystone, people are moving on because visibility is maybe a mile to a mile and a half. Not gonna change any time soon. We're up to two pack a day smokers this week.

I first went there in 1969, and had the place virtually to my self.
Like 2 packs a day, yeah. Requiem for a planet, thanks to the greedmongers.

In the past couple decades, tourists are paying attention, at least a little. I remember when it was pretty unpopulated, it's getting pretty crowded these days, there's no "off season" anymore.
