We have to hope that particulates and gases from a volcanic eruption do nothing to derail the global warming juggernaut. I enjoy irony as much as the next guy but that would be too much. So my prediction is that things will be different in the coming year yet strangely familiar.

The intensifying rumblings in the past few weeks at Augustine Volcano, an island peak 175 miles southwest of Anchorage in Cook Inlet, have produced a series of steam explosions, releases of sulfur gas and signs that there may be an eruption similar to events in 1986 and 1976 which sent ash clouds as high as 40,000 feet, scientists said. Okay, quick field poll.
How many of you remember the eruption and devastation of Mount St. Helens?
Alright, how many of you remember the eruptions and devastation caused by Augustine in 1976 and 1986?
I rest my case.

Can't we just feed a few Senators to the Volcano gods? They appear to have Terminal Brain Cloud anyway.

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.

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.

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.;-)

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

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.
