One giant belch likely emitting more CO2 into the atmosphere than all the cars on earth do in one year!

The ash will block the sun. Earth’s temperatures will drop. More polar bears will live. It’s all good.
Your calculation, please!
That’s load of radiant heat burning off the fog (vaporizing the cloud droplets).
Arnt clouds water vapor already?

How much is the tax on that? Who’s gonna pay?
I wonder how many years of smog produced daily in Los Angeles it would take to equal that single natural volcanic burp?
Oooooooo..... global warming! ...Run for my life!
BUMP
Will the Russians have to try and find more carbon credits for this? No worries as ALGORE is in the business of selling them.
As water molecules gain energy they become less associated, which in this case means that the tiny but visible water droplets in the could begin to become invisible. The water’s still there, but not in a droplets and clusters. In this case the futher vaporizing of the cloud applies to water vapor that is gaining even more energy as a higher energy gas. Further vaporization to the point where the vapor is not visible.
BTW, water vapor is the world’s most powerful greenhouse gas. There isn’t a close second.
Way cool!
Beware of the ManBearPig. Algore will save us.
This doesn’t look like much of a volcano.
The 1883 volcanic explosion of Krakatau, estimated at having a force equal to ten thousand Hiroshima bombs, was heard from Sri Lank to central Australia. It’s also said that the Krakatau blast travelled four times around the globe and that its tidal wave reached Dover.
Is that you Bernie Ward?
Out of jail already?
Bah! It’s a simple point of fact, and you should be able to support your assertion.
