Hawai'i, far from paradise today
In addition to the obvious effects of flowing lava -- watch your step! -- volcanoes have other serious effects on the environment, causing a great deal of air pollution.
Posted — UpdatedIn addition to the obvious effects of flowing lava -- watch your step! -- volcanoes have other serious effects on the environment, causing a great deal of air pollution.
A couple of things I take away from this:
- Humans aren't the only ones polluting the planet. To be sure, we do plenty, but it's not just us.
- Evan paradise has bad weather days.
- Polluted or not, this picture is still pretty cool.
So, if you've got a late-season Hawai'ian vacation planned, keep that in mind. Otherwise, the forecast looks good -- Honolulu should have plenty of sunshine and highs in the 80s through the weekend. (You can check the forecast for anywhere in the US -- including Hawai'i -- from right here at WRAL.com! Just click on weather above and type in the name of the city just above the 7-day forecast.)
