There are plenty of older sources explaining what the Post is reporting...it's not exactly breaking news. It's all about a low sun angle plus the size and density of particles in the atmosphere scattering light that favor the red end of the spectrum - https://www.economist.com/babbage/2014/04/08/sunsets-and-scientists
It doesn't matter whether the source is volcanoes, coal-burning power plants, diesel trucks or forest fires. They all contribute to the effect but I would expect a dense outpouring of particles from a volcano or forest fire would increase the effect, locally. I read that Bejing's highest-in-the-world smog levels provide fantastic sunsets but you'd be wise to wear an activated charcoal gas mask if you want to photograph them.

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.

Damn, lighten up. You liberals have no sense of humor at all.

Precisely what is fake? Do you have authenticated information that contradicts what is reported? Please share -- otherwise politically motivated broadsides do nothing but reduce your own credibility.

I have noticed intense colours just above the horizon right after sunset. But we get such beautiful sunsets here, I really didn't think of them as being out of the ordinary.

As one of those wild eyed liberals, I’ll take clean air over colorful sunsets any day!

There have been too many cloudless skies at sunset in my section of CT USA. I've wanted to photograph the Hartford skyline at sunset, but steel blue skies are not good sunset material. I need Russian volcanic activity!
