A few months ago, smoke from Canadian wildfires drifted over to here on the East Coast. The sky was greyish for a couple of days. The air faintly smelled like a BBQ smoker. For a week, the media made it seem like it was an apocalyptic nuclear fallout.
Not to sidejack this thread but if you think about the ash from Canadian wildfires drifting instead north across the ice caps with some fraction of the soot depositing on the ice, absorbing the summer sun's heat instead of reflecting it back into space, it well might be an apocalyptic precursor.
