This is a great question because it can actually become too hot for some aircraft to fly.Thinking of hot air balloons, that may seem counterintuitive, but when temperatures get too hot, planes start to lose their ability to take flight.

Frackers Are Spraying Toxic Wastewater on Pennsylvania Roads Despite Seven-Year Ban
