Boy, people really parsed what I typed wrong :-)
I meant that the lack of eruptions in the last 15 years may be a contributor to warm temperatures globally.
I inherited some ash from the Pinatubo eruption. The ash had been collected from the deck of a ship berthed in Subic Bay. When I joined the ship back in the US there was a bag of it left in my desk drawer.
The ash piled to a depth of about a foot. Sailors tried to wash it off the deck with fire hoses. Didn't work well, just made it wet & heavier with little flow of material.
I donated the bag of ash to Oregon State University when they provided me with info for a research I was doing on an olde ship wreck. Dumby, I forgot to keep some for my collection.
Piddly eruptions like this have no climate effect whatsoever.
I agree. I also agree with your concerns about mudslides from a snow capped volcano. Its steep slope invites danger.
heck all the ash will end up here
just like all the other bad things in mexico
Here's one that really 'kicked butt'
>>>"People seem to have a difficult time believing this but humans release 150 times more Carbon Dioxide into the air per year than volcanoes (ALL of them in the world combined) do"<<<
Could you site a source, (if you are the source, your credentials and the actual data)
Thanks in advance
