We agree the photograph is tinted.
I believe the tint is in the atmosphere, not the camera optics.
Though not as dark, we had that hue in the sky here in NY today. I can smell smoke in the air.
Maybe they should make trees out of Titanium?
Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

Apparently the crew on that train has been rescued - they escaped on foot and were taken to hospital to be checked over - the concern was how much smoke they'd inhaled.Northern Ontario is engulfed in wildfires

Meanwhile Michigan politicians go off the rails (any surprise that they're Republicans?)
“Michigan Republicans Blast Canada Over Wildfire Smoke”
By Steve Ward
I wonder whether the continuing heat wave is starting to take a toll on my patience. Or perhaps I could simply be reaching my fill of the ongoing self-destruction of the United States by the inept and corrupt Trump Administration. In any event, I hit my limit for American political angst with yesterday’s actions by four Republican members of Congress from Michigan who co-wrote a scathing letter to our Prime Minister expressing their anger over Ontario’s current wildfires due to them being the cause of poor air quality south of the border.
This small group, who I have coined the Irate Republican Congressional Quartet, is comprised of Michigan Congressional Representatives John James, Jack Bergman, John Moolenaar and Lisa McClain who expressed the following sentiments in their letter to Mr. Carney:
~Accused Canada of failing to conduct adequate forest maintenance to reduce the risk of wildfires.
~Suggested that provincial premiers are offering excuses rather than results.
~Advised that Michigan hospitals are again treating residents for the effects of smoke that originated in Canada.
~Warned that they are “done accepting apologies in place of action” and hinted that the United States could decide to assume control over all cross-border fire prevention.
~Scolded Canada by stating that “sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country's airspace has not been met. That attitude is unacceptable from a neighbor and an ally.”
When reading this heated letter, a Canadian can’t help but ask a few reasonable follow-up questions:
~How much of Canada’s current climate change crisis has been worsened by dangerous airborne agents that have crossed into our country from the United States?
~What exactly is the United States even dojng to fight climate change?
~How exactly do these ideologically-driven right-wing politicians expect Canada to prevent wildfires caused by heat, dry conditions, lightening and human activities?
In reality, the number of fires in Canada has been increasing annually due to climate
change and the dresulting impacts listed in the ....
