It was not immediately clear if the eruption was a direct result of the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake

Considering the fact that the volcano has erupted something like 10 times since January, I don't think it matters.

The 1,421-metre (4,689-feet) Shinmoedake volcano in the Kirishima range saw its first major eruption for 52 years in January. There had not been any major activity at the site since March 1.

What's going on?

Earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns and now erupting volcanoes...what’s next for Japan?

[y6162]

I wonder how the Japs will rationalize these disasters?

Americans would immediately ask what did I do to deserve this?

Kinda’ makes you think about “John the Devine” and the “Mayans” doesn’t it? Nostradamus...pick up the white courtesy phone please.

[chessplayer]

I was wondering if the quakes would trigger volcano eruptions.

Good God...really?

Uh...California is next I guess...

Chile to Japan to California?

The third punch to worry about is disease. Water shortages, sewage and dead bodies everywhere.

This was written in the fall of 2009, well before the events of the past week. The combination of this unprecedented disaster and the preexisting demographic problem may mean the end for Japan as we known it

“Is Japan Dying?”

TOKYO-LONDON — Thanks to the miracles of modern technology, I’m writing this 31,000 feet above ground level, somewhere over Siberia, on the plane back from Tokyo in that limbo time zone where it seems to be neither day nor night.

And I’m pondering the meaning of Japan’s population statistics, which make chilling reading for the newly-elected government after last Sunday’s earthquake election.

Imagine a country that knows it is shrinking. A country that knows it is ageing more rapidly than any other major industrialised nation on earth. Which has the highest proportion in the world of people over the age of 65, and the lowest ratio of under 15s. That country is Japan.

As I reported on Wednesday, on current trends, the population of Japan will have halved by the end of the century.

It is, literally, a country that is slowly dying.

According to one United Nations estimate, it’ll need to import 17 million foreign workers over the next 40 years, just to keep its economy afloat and provide enough carers to look after the elderly. (By 2050, there will be more than a million Japanese over the age of 100.)

[Leep]

Has Japan made secret deals with Obama and now they are being punished?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Holy cow, the Japanese just can’t get a break this week.

[eak3]

Didnt realize we had so many evolutionists here. With all the sarcasm intended its great to see that, despite the fact mega-quakes are up an insane amount over the last decade, we can just throw this disaster in the its par for the course category.

Next up, pestilence.
Are these not the end times, or what?
