Krakatoa Volcano (Indonesia): Violent Eruption, Ash To 47,000 Ft Altitude (Breaking News)
Volcano Discovery ^

A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW.
A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano.
This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast.

Volcanoes are part of the climate creation process, as such, saying they damage it, is silly

This was one of the biggest eruptions of all time: Mt. Tambora.
1815: Mt. Tambora is one of several eruptions (also Baekdu: 946 AD, Samalas: 1257 AD) with a VEI of 7 maybe largest in
recorded history, but there were many others that make Mt. Tambora look like a firecracker - Mt Toba, Yellowstone to name a some of the better known ones with VEI over 9 - scale is logarithmic 10X larger for each number.
Mt. Tambora crater is 100km, Yellowstone crater is 1000 km. Reference: Mt St Helens was VEI of 5

It’s both; depending on which direction you travel.
However; it may be CLOSER one direction than the other.

I saw an explanation that more extra-solar cosmic radiation gets through when the sun isnt providing as much interference and that some of it penetrates deeply enough to produce the effect. Oh bullcrap!

I fail to see how a quake in Japan can cause a wildfire in Australia!

Maybe so; but that ain’t Europe, but Indonesia.

I did a google search of PVMBG (whatever that means, seen on the video) and found some official Indonesian paperwork that also used the day/month/year format. Perhaps a hang-over from being a Dutch colony?

He is trying to send the message every second d of the day. Seems that he only gets attention when we get a taste of what hell is like.
