Nah. Now they have a better excuse to cross the border. “ah yes gringo, I move to America because of volcano”

Is there an estimate for the number of tons of CO2 that has been released into the atmosphere by this eruption? How much money does Mexico owe Al Gore for this event?

The service predicted continuing “moderate exhalations, some with ash, sporadic low to moderate explosions with likely burning fragments emitted close to the crater, and flaming magma within the crater visible at night.”
I was hopeing this was the weather forcast for Qom Iran.

LOL! Let's not panic the populace! It's NOT an eruption. It's simply exhaling. OK? Has a volcano ever inhaled?

seven exhalations overnight Saturday and through the day Sunday, sending vapor, smoke and gas billowing into the clear skyHeck, my dog can do better than just seven.

I’m thinking, with approx 22 million people, Mexico City would not be the place to have a massive volcanic eruption.

Now there's something you don't see describing Mexico City very often. I lived in the NW suburbs of Mexico City for a couple of years 20 years ago. I used to leave the house every morning at 0600 for a run through the barrio. On about 360 days of the year all one could see looking south was darkness. The other five days Popo stood out like a monster sentinel, almost scary. All of mankind's good works in reducing the "carbon footprint" is wiped out everytime one of these volcanoes erupt and spew into the atmosphere.

Back in 1520, is Popo the mountain the Spaniards climbed to get sulfur for their gunpowder, and also got their first view of the Aztec Capitol?

I don’t know about them getting their sulphur from Popo. I’ve often wondered what went through Cortez’ mind when he and his troops exploring this primitive land first sighted Teotihuacan. Even by 16th century European standards, those pyramids were pretty sophisticated.

For a first hand account see: "The Conquest of New Spain" (The Bernal Diaz Chronicles) by Bernal Diaz del Castillo. It's the only book in my library I've re-read several times, and never tire of his narrative.
