  The amount of crude oil in storage at Oklahoma’s Cushing hub increased in the past week, while national figures saw a slight decline.
  
  Nationally, the total amount of crude oil in storage was 459.2 million barrels as of early June, compared to the 416.8 million barrels reported in early June of 2022. The U.S. storage total declined 500,000 barrels from the 459.7 million reported by the EIA as of May 26.
  
  The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Cushing held 40.6 million barrels of oil as of June 2 of this year, up 1.7 million from the 38.9 million reported on May 26. A year ago, Cushing held only 23.4 million barrels in early June 2022.

• Past few days rank among the worst for wildfire pollution in U.S. history

  New York City was filled with reddish haze yesterday, with its worst air quality on record. A Broadway matinee was interrupted when its star had difficulty breathing, and some nighttime shows were canceled. Pro sports teams in both New York and Philadelphia postponed their games. In Binghamton, N.Y., a meteorologist said that the area around him “looks like Mars” and “smells like cigars.” In Toronto, residents awoke this week to find a thick layer of ash near open windows.

  
  

  The immediate cause is a series of wildfires in Quebec and Ontario, which began burning weeks ago. The larger cause is the same one damaging the air quality in the West: a sharp increase in wildfires during the 21st century, caused partly by the hotter temperatures and drier conditions created by climate change.
