Cancel Christmas?

Reverse the circumstances (volcanos, floods, sunamis, and the Muslims would be screaming this is proof of God’s anger with the west....

Look at all those volcanoes! No wonder there is a shortage of virgins in Indonesia.

Global Warming alarmists would cry in their lattes should a mega-eruption occur and global temperatures cool.

No amount of Cap-n-Tax or UN proclamations can stop a volcano.

The LAST thing our world needs right now is another Tambora-sized eruption. That eruption spewed 15 cubic miles of volcanic ash into the atmosphere and resulted in essentially NO summer in 1816 in much of the world, causing unprecedented crop failures in the higher latitudes.

[Natural Law]

We can still see the devastation of the Mt. Toba eruption. On the Malay peninsula, many hundreds of miles away and a location with no volcanic activity, the volcanic ash is literally hundreds and hundreds of feet thick. Any kind of similar event will have catastrophic consequences for the entire world.

Dumb question alert!

Remember the volcano that disrupted air traffic months ago? (sorry I don’t remember where it was) There were fears of it’s sister volcano blowing at that time.

Is this anywhere near?

Thanks!

(TOTAL tongue in cheek here folks, BEFORE you go all freaking out... lol)

Looks like the demon under Merapi senses the presence of it’s spiritual brother Sokebarack.

Timing, Merapi demon.... TIMING.

Cancel Christmas?

Christmas year long if it erupts bigger than Tambora.

[Danae]

Well if this is correct......

Better start buying stocks of shovels, cause the snow is gonna get pretty deep. People will be buyin em.

[Errant]

There is another Icelandic volcano who's glacier has sprung a leak indicating a possible eruption soon.

[Danae]

That was in Iceland. It is part of the Transatlantic Rift system. Quite literally those fissure volcanoes are where the earth is being pulled apart. Usually that happens under the Atlantic ocean where we aren’t able to see it. Iceland rises above the water, so we can see them clearly.

[Danae]

Orly!?

Well the earth is a complete system, what happens in one area affects others. We just aren’t smart enough yet to understand fully how or why.
