More Colorful Sunsets?

If you've been noticing more colorful sunsets lately, you can thank the June eruption of Russian volcano Raikoke, according to the Washington Post.
"You may have noticed sunsets this summer featuring a subtle purple hue, a violet tinge nestled somewhere between the western horizon’s inviting ambers and the delicate royal blue up above. It’s been most prevalent a few minutes after sunset, lasting only a few minutes. But it has helped make already beautiful sunsets even more dynamic and spectacular."

Forest fires will give the same effect.

We could also claim Climate change, seems a popular notion lately.

It’s not fake news, its “alternate facts”.

Yeah, science is a lot of nonsense. But maybe you'll believe FoxNews. WP says the volcano could be responsible; FN says it is responsible.

Or gravity, or rain, or fire - all radical liberal ideas with no basis in fact.

A few years back I was in Venezuela and we stayed a few days in Maracaibo where the oil production is and there is a lot of particulate in the air, the sunsets were stunning, absolutely the best I have ever seen and I lived several years in the Caribbean.
