-------------------------------------------------------

In more climate-related news, widespread fires continue to burn across
the Pacific Northwest. Montana Governor Steve Bullock has declared a
statewide fire disaster, calling the blazes "unprecedented." Washington
Governor Jay Inslee has declared a state of emergency. On Tuesday,
Seattle residents awoke to ash falling from the sky as a result of the
widespread fires burning across the state. Satellite images also showed
Washington state nearly entirely covered in smoke from the fires.
