KAHANA The United States’ departure from the Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation in 2017 eerily foretold the ignorance of worldwide weather changes that would devastate civilizations everywhere. First came searing heat waves and windstorms igniting wildfires and untold devastation in the western states of the U.S. Then, most recently, numbing cold fronts with sub-zero temperatures not seen in over a century paralyzed the country with freezing snow conditions that brought death and destruction from deep in the heart of Texas to New England.

The head of Hawaiian Airlines said last week that “there is a good chance” that Maui may once again see more early-morning flights to Oahu as the airline is making adjustments in its flight schedules.
President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Ingram was responding to a question about Maui residents not being able to find those early-morning flights for essential services such as doctors’ appointments and therefore needing to stay overnight on Oahu to make appointments the next day.
