One good Mt Pinatubo size eruption like we got in 1991 and those poor dumb global warming b@st@rds will have hell to pay as the world goes into deep freeze once again.

Let them use that damn bridge to help their sorry butts.

Decemeber 26......

....is becoming the traditional 'disaster day'.

I remember the '76 eruption because we lived in Eagle River. The biggest worry was what the ash would do to auto engines. I also remember some discussion of the effect of the ash on the Matanuska Maid dairy cattle. [I don't remember what that was about.] Same thing in '86. Hey, it makes a deliciously frightening news headline.

Dear me, I hope this eruption doesn't cause any pollution. I'd hate to see the EPA have to go up there and arrest the volcano.

Polution, Smolution...BRING IT ON!

It's colder than a witch's *** down here an we need the heat!

[evad]

LOL..he's everywhere :)

Send all EPA JBTs up there and make them stay until it does blow. ;-)

Clearly our gluttonous consumption of fossil fuels has caused a disruption in Gaia. We must rescue the Caribou. Oh wait, in a minute, isn't it time to watch the Grammy's first. I hope Michael Moore is hosting this year.;-)

[litehaus]

He's up there "establishing residence" for WHAT purpose?..LOL..

[Paradox]

Well, so long as no volcanic ash falls on the ANWR, everything will be A-OK!

[Illuminatas]

My wife, the crazy geologist, wants to go there right now for any possible big eruptions.

I think too many people forget that southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands are on the so-called Ring of Fire and as such are subject to a lot of earthquakes and regular volcanic activity. Indeed, on Russia's Kamkatchka Peninsula west of the Aleutians, there are many very active volcanoes there.
