EXC: Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult battle wildfire smoke to film scenes for new crime series The Order

Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult battled smoke from wildfires on Sunday to film scenes for their new crime movie The Order in Calgary, Alberta.

Filming continued despite the “high risk” air quality due to the wildfires raging across Canada.

In the series, bought by Prime Video for “eight figures,” Jude plays an FBI agent battling a criminal white supremacist group led by Nicholas.

Jude, 50, smartly dressed in a white shirt and black tie under a green jacket, paired with gray trousers.

Nicholas, 33, looked casual in a white T-shirt and jeans as he strolled around the set.

Officials have warned that wildfires in Canada will continue to burn with greater intensity this summer, potentially spewing smoke intermittently over the lower 48 states in the coming months.

Forecasts prepared by Natural Resources Canada indicate that wildfires will rage in larger areas of the forest in June, July, August and September than in previous years.

The smoke that sent U.S. air quality numbers to record levels last week may return during this year’s wildfire season.

The extent to which smoke from Canada is sent to the lower 48 states is determined by wind patterns. As long as the fires are burning, atmospheric currents can send the smoke into the lower 48 states.

Last week’s fierce fires were thought to have been caused at least in part by a lightning strike, which ignited the fires in mostly southeastern Quebec, as well as jet streams that forced smoke over the East Coast and Midwest.

That left residents of New York City and Philadelphia, among others, in thick smoke that turned the sky yellow and caused officials to warn people to stay indoors.

According to the Stanford ECHO Lab, June 6, 7 and 8 were three of the worst days for smoke development in recorded U.S. history in terms of the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere.

New York City and Philadelphia were some of the hardest hit locations for the smoke.

A yellow haze came over the Big Apple early in the week as health officials warned of the potential dangers.

“Canadian wildfires are a common exposure for almost all New Yorkers right now,” Acting Health Commissioner James McDonald said at the time.

“Our risk from this exposure is based on our own personal underlying health condition.

“Those New Yorkers with underlying conditions such as lung or heart disease are at increased risk from this exposure and are encouraged to modify their activities accordingly.”

Scientists warn wildfires are likely to continue as the planet warms, creating an ideal environment for fires.

Canada had an extremely dry and snow-free winter, so all 10 provinces are currently experiencing conditions called abnormal drought, moderate or severe drought, according to the Canadian government’s drought tracker.

In June 2021, Canada experienced its hottest day on record when the city of Lytton, in British Columbia, reached 121 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the previous record of 113 degrees.

Dry, warm weather also brings more lightning. Half of Canada’s wildfires are caused by lightning; the other half by humans. Fires caused by lightning also tend to be more destructive.

Some scientists believe rising global temperatures could affect the flow of the jet stream, weakening it. This allows the air to stand still longer and warm up.

Canada’s natural resources agency says climate change could potentially double the amount of burned area by the end of this century.

For Canada, this represents a potential problem for the timber industry, as well as the destruction of valuable ecosystems.

Some have argued that the fires and resulting smoke could have been avoided with better forest management, claiming that too few controlled burns were committed to clear the forest of combustible residue.

In 2020, four scientists wrote a paper published in Progress in Disaster Science saying that Canada was not spending enough money on forest management.

“Wildlife firefighting agencies in Canada are at a tipping point,” they wrote. ‘Presuppression and repression costs are increasing, but program budgets are not.’

In July 2021, the editors of Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper warned that more needed to be done to control burns and reduce the problem of wildfires running out of control.
