Letter: Wake up and smell the smoke

By Roy Valo, Vancouver

I grew up in Clark County and I don’t remember wildfire smoke from hundreds of miles away that stuck around for weeks until just a few years ago. I also remember, growing up in the La Center bottoms, where our back pasture flooded and froze over just about every winter. It hasn’t done that since I was 10.

My point: I’m only 29 and I’ve observed a changing climate. Cyclical changes take hundreds or thousands of years. People need to wake up and smell the smoke.
