How many years of human CO2 production was undone by Mount Saint Helens?

Major volcanic eruptions produce about a day's worth of manmade CO2.

China claims the new land as their own ancient homeland.

[Rebelbase]

Isn’t that #9 on the menu and the Japanese restaurant?

[EEGator]

No, I mean counteract via particles in the atmosphere.

[ealgeone]

It’s Godzilla.

[Chickensoup]

you have a source for that?

[SunkenCiv]

Extra strength Tums should fix it.

As soon as the volcanic seamount breaks the surface, China will claim it as their territory.

[null and void]

Just like it’s spelled

Fu ku tō ku

Long o, like in toe.

The u in ku sounds like coo...

Landsat 8 imagery also show several floating rafts of pumice drifting northwest of the eruption site. The satellite’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) captured a remarkable image (above) of expansive gray pumice rafts on August 17, 2021, a few days after the eruption began. Pumice is one of the only types of rock that can float due to a combination of surface tension and the many air-filled holes and cavities found within the rock.

All you need is a ticket to South Iwo Jima and a boat ride later, all the fresh pumice you want. And no fear of a $50 ticket from Ranger Willie.

I think that is right next to Fukutobiden.

Years ago, just after the Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines blew it’s top, our company sent our chemists to a US government sponsored convention on Global Warming.

During the discussions one person asked...”Compared to the Pinatubo volcano, how much CO2 do humans produce?”

The government answer was humans produce about 5% as compared to the volcano.

The chemists, scientists and others all laughed, got up and left the meeting. Hey! There were still things to discuss! But everyone left.

Pumice Rafts-—so the island can tip over.

[palmer]

Gotcha. Yes, the particles in the stratosphere in particular.

Japanese don’t put numbers on their menus, as they are classier than the Chinese.

Pinatubo: https://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/gerlach/ 42 Mt CO2 versus manmade CO2 of a bit over 30 Gt / year (second to last graph): https://www.iea.org/reports/global-energy-review-2020/global-energy-and-co2-emissions-in-2020

I will let the people at the Tokyo Express know that next time I order.

[EEGator]

They’re probably Chinese or Vietnamese…

I bet the women don’t carry umbrellas in the Sun…
