I thought it was some other volcano in Iceland that was ready to blow. Global warming/cooling/boiling here we come. We will all have to give up our gas stoves and vehicles to compensate for the earth doing what it wishes.

It’s OK. My neighbor just bought an electric car, so I think the global warming thing is under control.

This one has potential to block infrared due to the sulphur particles in the ejecta. The closer to the equator, the greater the impact on temps worldwide. Think Pinatubo compared to St Helens. The former cooled the planet. The latter had neglible impact.

Global Warming softened the Earth’s mantle, weakening the mantle enough to permit the magma to break through

I expect NASA or NOAA to come out with complete orbital studies showing that we’ve got no real problem with Marapi IF we address cow fart expansion which is REALLY our problem for the environment.
