Climate Changers - VOLCANIC eruption expected in ICELAND - 800 earthquakes overnight

[Into the Night]

If Yellowstone ever blows were dead. Iceland is almost as bad.

Iceland has over 130 volcanoes. Something is erupting pretty much all the time in Iceland.

Yellowstone ((the park) is not all volcano. The Yellowstone Caldera formed a lake in NW Yellowstone park. This is the old magma chamber (now collapsed). If it erupts again it would be like any granite volcano (explosion instead of pretty lava). It would produce a lot of dust, lightning around the eruption, and...that would be about it. Kind of like a St Helens again.

Of course, the park would have to evacuated (again), and surrounding areas (particularly Wyoming and Montana) would see a lot of dust and ash. Longview and Kelso used the ash from St Helens to build a levy against the river. A fair amount of it was sold (for making roadways, fly ash for wastewater treatment, tourism, etc).

If they are silent maybe it's because volcanic effects on weather are minimal. You wouldn't be expected to know that so don't be embarrassed.

Bullshit.

For example, Mt Tambura Indonesia blew in 1815, and the following year was known as the Year without a Summer. A similar eruption would devastate crops and cause mass starvation.

And scientists theorize that volcanoes caused the Little Ice Age. And ...

"The Toba eruption was a supervolcano eruption that occurred around 74,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene[1] at the site of present-day Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is one of the largest known explosive eruptions in the Earth's history. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a severe global volcanic winter of six to ten years and contributed to a 1,000-year-long cooling episode, ."

Because, you stupid fuck, as the article said, this is not the type of explosive eruption that spews a bunch of debris into the atmosphere.

Are all you climate deniers illiterate or are you so fucking lazy that you don’t bother to read your own citations?

Some volcanoes throw very little into the air. Others are gas (or granite) type volcanoes the pop like a balloon instead of producing pretty lava (like St Helens).
The only one denying climate is the Church of Global Warming. You don't even know the meaning of the word.

No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing.

It still releases a variety of toxic gases like Sulphur dioxide.

So don't stand near one when it erupts. Sulfur dioxide, by the way, is washed out with the next rain (forming 'acid' rain). Of course, rain is normally acidic, but the sulfur dioxide just makes it a bit more acidic. That's okay around a volcano though, since there is no vegetation left to harm.

So what will you do about explosive eruptions? ... can you find a way to profit by fearmongering about them?

Some liberals do, but Dumber isn't among them. He's too stupid.

This is my advice to you, dumbfuck. You have MINIMAL, if ANY, eduction in the sciences. Actually, it’s obvious you have minimal education, period.

So, rather than continually making more of a fool of yourself than usual, try to steer clear of the sciences, especially climate change. You don’t even know how to grasp your own citations.

Climate cannot change. There is no 'science of climate change'. There is no theory of science about a meaningless buzzword.

No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing. A theory of science says so. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics again.

 

[Into the Night]

Has anyone heard anything else about this? I sure hope it is a false alarm because we sure don't need a major event like that!

Iceland has over 130 volcanoes. Some is active all the time in Iceland.
This pending eruption IS close to a town, though, so they evacuated it.

Icelandic volcanoes tend to produce pretty lava rather than a gas explosion like St Helens. Like Hawaiian volcanoes, the lava is the biggest threat.

Hey, the headline looked good, so he got all excited and ran with it thinking he had a gotcha moment, it’s the “big chiwawa,” typical

Some people go to a lot of trouble, and get off on tangents, to support their ulterior Political Narratives and Motives!

I believe this thread is a perfect example of that!

 

[Into the Night]

Only if you live in the US Midwest or East Coast... Iceland is more like Hawaii. You get lava in your living room from time to time. That's what happens when you live on an oceanic spreading center (plate tectonics).

The one that would be interesting is the super-volcano in Italy goes off and wipes out a big chunk of the Mediterranean. That would put the kibosh on Gorebal Warming... Nothing like a Krakatoa sized volcanic detonation to change the world's climate...

There is no such thing as a global climate. Climate cannot change.

A big volcano can certainly put a lot of particulates in the air, modifying weather for some areas, but that is temporary. Rain washes out this stuff fairly quickly.

Well, yeah, massive eruptions for extended periods when the planet was in an evolving state are one thing. We've been out of that evolving state for a little while. The eruptions coming in Iceland, if they do, are not expected to have more than a temporary
effect on weather. I don't know what your point it is about volcanoes/climate change anyway. Do you?

Why can't you disagree without calling people childish names? Leftists, ALWAYS calling people they don't like uneducated. Sad really.

What year did the planet stop evolving?

Yellow is a supervolcano. Iceland is on a fault line and they have lots of eruptions. They are not close to the same thing.

It WAS a large volcano. It isn't anymore. It's now a caldera.
Fault lines do not cause volcanoes. The San Andreas fault, for example, has almost no volcanic activity along it's entire length. Ice sits atop a plate edge (spreading action).
Hawaii is not on a fault line or near a plate edge, but it has a lot of volcanoes.
Yellowstone (the park) has numerous fault lines, including the Lava Creek fault, the Brimstone faults, and the Mt Sheridan faults. It is not near a plate edge.
St Helens is near the Juan de Fuca plate (kind of a mini-plate caught like a gear between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. Part of this 'gear' is rotating under the North American plate, causing volcanoes to form. Most volcanoes form near plate edges.

You’re competing for the stupidest motherfucker on the forum and making a good run at it.

This fairly minor eruption has nothing to do with either AGW or predicting volcanoes.

Fucking clown.

There is no such thing as 'AGW' except as a religious artifact.
Eruptions have everything to do with trying to predict them.

We know a lot about volcanoes. We know that before an eruption, seismic activity increases and the ground around the site tends to bulge outward. Suddenly increase seismic activity in the form of minor variants is a solid sign of magma moving upward, signalling an eruption soon. This is why it's so easy to predict them enough to be able to evacuate towns now to get people out of harm's way.

True, but ...



"Is a repeat of the 2010 air travel chaos on the cards again?
A repeat is unlikely. That eruption was at the unconnected volcano at Eyjafjallajökul in southern Iceland and involved a sticky type of magma. It shot huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere, forcing the cancellation of 100,000 flights and leaving more than 10 million travellers stranded."

Yes, you keep avoiding the fact that volcanoes can affect the weather. Why? ... no profit for you Algorians.

Volcanoes always affect the weather.

When not erupting, the mountain affects airflow around it, causing rain on one side and a dry zone on the other, like any mountain.
When erupting, the fast moving gas and particulates strip electrons from air molecules, creating lighting in the volcanic cloud.
Sulfur dioxide, which often accompanies volcanic activity, washes out with the next rain producing 'acid' rain (rain is normally acidic).

Particulates, which often accompanies volcanic activity, washes out with the next rain producing 'black' rain. Some particulates get thrown very high into the stratosphere, and can produce a light haze downwind before they too fall out of the sky. Lower particulates can produce a dramatic effect downwind but nearer to the eruption, producing a 'night' in midday. It is best to wear a dust mask during this time. N95 masks are suited well for this. Even a moistened bandanna over the mouth and nose is very effective. The masking is only needed for a few hours and masks should be changed every couple of hours.

If they are silent maybe it's because volcanic effects on weather are minimal. You wouldn't be expected to know that so don't be embarrassed.

The effects on weather can be quite dramatic, particularly near the volcano.

What year did the planet stop evolving?

Could be still evolving, who knows, but if so it's in a very state of evolving from what it was before the ice age. Anyway, here you are again replying to a comment and question by asking a question..

Hey, you are the one who implied there could be no more supervolcano eruptions "because the planet stopped evolving". Now you realized you were wrong. Good for you

I have explained my point over and over, again and again ... volcanoes can change the weather, dramatically.

No, I only said there aren't any threatened volcanic eruptions that will affect man made climate change except in a very temporary way. As for the planet, I only said it stopped evolving a long time ago in the dramatic way it was developing before the ice age.
