just made an impromtu blog post about how air pollution made the sun appear yellow in the 80s and thats why now that air pollution is less severe, the sun appears white (inspired by how red/orange sun and moon appear bc of the canadian wildfires)

I wondered why the sun often looked yellow in 80s movies, so a possible explanation. Whenever there are bushfires in Australian cities or in the area (or even controlled burns) the sky goes reddish orange and the sun becomes red. The worst of it was for the Sydney bushfires a few years ago. I imagine Americans may be more prone to conspiracy theories about the sun changing colour is because bushfires aren't as common
