Iceland evacuates hundreds as volcano erupts again
APNews ^ | 14. apríl 2010 | GUDJON HELGASON and JILL LAWLESS

A volcano under a glacier in Iceland erupted Wednesday for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air, closing a major road and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters.

Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the Eyjafjallajokull glacier as rivers rose by up to 10 feet (3 meters).

Emergency officials and scientists said the eruption under the ice cap was 10 to 20 times more powerful than one last month, and carried a much greater risk of widespread flooding.

"This is a very much more violent eruption, because it's interacting with ice and water," said Andy Russell, an expert in glacial flooding at the University of Newcastle in northern England. "It becomes much more explosive, instead of a nice lava flow oozing out of the ground."

This won’t help with global warming at all.

Mt. Pinatubo released more CARBON DIOXIDE than the entire Western Industrial Revolution from 1840 to the present.

Now that is an awesome factoid...

INDEED Quite incredible.

Gotta tell some of the global warming idiots at the univ.

If I’m allowed to open my mouth in the office at all about such truths. Sigh.

Do we have any hotshots who could help us track the ash cloud by satellite?

that’s because the earth’s crust has been warmed so much by GHG emissions that the volcano then went off; ergo—climate change is the bad boy

Interesting fact indeed. Looks like we are in for a few years of real cool summers. Add that upon the sun's continue low activity mode. More CO2 pumped into the air in the northern hemisphere, low temperatures... what is al bore going to do.
I have to head out for work soon.

Your Observation is correct. When more of any greenhouse gas is released there is an EQUILIBRIUM effect that acts to balance it out. It is a property of Earth’s atmosphere.

This Equilibrium is run and governed by water vapor. More greenhouse gasses increase temperatures, this causes more water vapor to be released into the atmosphere where it naturally cools both by condensation (cloud formation) and then again with falling rain.

You can accurately say that if more green house gasses are released, it will rain. This rain, because it condenses out of the air, reduces global HUMIDITY.

More green house gas -———> More cloud formation (Reflects sunlight cooling things as well, prevents energy from warming the surface)-———> More rainfall until equilibrium is achieved once again, leaving the air dryer because the moisture rained out of it.

Less Greenhouse gas—————> less cloud formation (more heating at the surface)-————> Higher humidity (due to warm air being able to hold more water vapor with out it condensing. Think of it like your morning shower, the air gets more humid until it reaches a saturation point and then steam clouds form. It takes a while for that to happen. First thing you notice is the mirror fogging up and after that then you will start seeing the mist a hot shower can create in a room, it takes a while to build up to that point doesn’t it?)-————> Until the saturation point is reached and clouds form again to cool things off.

Water vapor is the dominate greenhouse gas on Earth. 300 million cubic miles of water can do anything it wants to. It laughs are CO2, which is nothing to it. If the Earth were go undergo uncontrolled runaway global warming, it would be water that did it, not CO2. But that has never happened in Earth’s 4 Billion year history. Water is the pivot of the Earth’s atmosphere, and this equilibrium cannot be overwhelmed far enough by Man to tip it over. It takes a global disaster like a massive Asteroid to do something like that. Even then, the Earth returns to atmospheric equilibrium with time.

Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi discovered the mathematical formula and constants which governs this, but NASA covered it up because it doesn’t match the Political agenda of the Global Warming Hoaxers. Since 2004, no physicist has come forward to prove him wrong in either peer review (the real thing) or in a published scientific paper.

Hey,...found an ad at WUWT:

It's Time to Solve the Climate Crisis

Climate change is real — and it's already being felt right here in the United States, and faster than scientists expected.

We cannot afford to let global warming continue unchecked. If we want future generations to grow up in a world that looks anything like the one we know today, now is the time to act.

Maybe that's why they're melting........

Leigur, my FRiend, you take care. Iceland will make it through this. They are a very sturdy, hardy stock. They’ve been through worse in their history. Let’s just hope that the recent prosperity hasn’t softened too many of them too much. ;o)
