For what it is worth I didn't read this comment as sarcastic. I live in Japan, watch the news almost daily, and HN is the first I've heard of it.

- ptaipale 11y agoStrange. This has been reported e.g. by CNN many times. Sep 19: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/09/16/asia/gallery/southeast-asia-haze-burning/ http://edition.cnn.com/2015/09/16/asia/gallery/southeast-asi...

And this is just one (albeit major) news provider. (I have seen this many times reported by my local national broadcaster in Finland. But then maybe I just notice and care because I know people who live in the affected area. E.g. in June this year, Asia Pacific Resources International Limited APRIL announced it will stop forestry work in order to reduce forest fires and conserve nature. http://yle.fi/uutiset/aasian_sellujatti_lopettaa_hakkuut_indonesiassa/8040856 http://yle.fi/uutiset/aasian_sellujatti_lopettaa_hakkuut_ind... )
