10,000 evacuated as five volcanoes erupt in Indonesia
Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - 02:57 PM

Major eruptions at five volcanoes in Indonesia have darkened skies with ash and led to the closure of three airports.

Government volcanologist Surono said Mount Raung on Java island erupted again today, blasting ash and debris up to 6,560ft into the air after rumbling for several weeks.

Eruptions of Gamalama and Dukono mountains on the Moluccas islands chain and the Sinabung volcano on Sumatra island have darkened skies and forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 people.

Mount Karangetang on Siau island also erupted.

Transport ministry spokesman Julius Adravida Barata said Jember and Banyuwangi airports closed yesterday and Bali's international airport was closed for several hours today, disrupting flights.

Indonesia has 130 active volcanoes.

More than 13,000 people have been evacuated due to the volcanic eruptions since last month, mostly from around the slopes of Sinabung in Tanah Karo District.

"Our evaluation showed there is no extraordinary natural phenomenon that triggered simultaneous eruptions of the five volcanoes," Mr Surono said, adding that all the eruptions are natural and normal occurrences.

Volcano eruptions are good things. The soil around volcanoes is highly fertile, and thus excellent for agriculture.

The wonders of Mother Nature are things which frog-in-the-well urban Sinkie city-dweller parasites can never fully appreciate. :wink:

Could erupting volcanoes be slowing down global warming?

A new report suggests that 17 eruptions between 1998 and 2012 spewed enough sulfur into the upper atmosphere to create a mirror-like condition, which reflects the sun’s heat away from the earth’s surface.



Over the last two decades, the earth has seen a dramatic halt in any type of global warming activity. This status quo development has undermined the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) computer models, which predict non-stop continued warming for the planet attributable to human activity.

The IPCC models assumed that volcanic aerosols would fall to the ground and not remain in the atmosphere, which created the reflective phenomenon. Benjamin D. Santer, a climate scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, was the lead author of the volcanic aerosol study. Santer’s research focuses on climate model evaluation, the use of statistical methods in climate science, and the detection and attribution of natural and anthropogenic “fingerprints” in observed climate records. Dr. Santer’s history includes work involving the “discernible human influence” conclusion of the 1995 Report by the IPCC. He states that the new study shows that, “Effectively, the real world has experienced a partial cooling effect associated with this uptick in volcanic activity.”

Since global warming models hit a snag at the turn of the century, and the planet stopped warming, climatologists have been scratching their heads and looking for answers as to what went wrong with their predictive algorithms. Last year, a Nature study suggested that it was Pacific Ocean oscillations that was drawing heat away from land surfaces and creating a cooling effect on the planet. According to Santer, that may be partly responsible for the global warming hiatus.

Now he says there is more to it:
When you get a big volcano that injects sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, into the upper atmosphere, that sulfur dioxide forms these liquid phase sulfuric acid droplets, those reflect incoming sunlight back to space, they cool the lower atmosphere and surface, and when they cool the ocean surface, the recovery takes years.

Piers Foster, a climate scientist at the University of Leeds, one of the principal authors of the 2007 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, implies that the science is settled and assures us that “Volcanoes give us only a temporary respite from the relentless warming pressure of continued increases in CO2.” Santer adds, “It’s a fascinating detective story; volcanoes are part of that detective story.” The global warming scientist says defensively, “It’s not like we’re whistling around in the dark trying frantically to come up with ever more implausible explanations for what happened, who done it.”

I see so you wouldn't appreciate it either because you are a sinkie city dweller aren't you or maybe you live in a village boondocks.

SG50 Omens lah.

Never in records of history got 5 volcanic eruptions so near to SG at any one time.

Harbis this time Liao.

Universe is going mad. Apocalypse !

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6*m (13 to 20*ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC by the Osci or Oscans. It came under the domination of Rome in the 4th century BC, and was conquered and became a Roman colony in 80 BC after it joined an unsuccessful rebellion against the Roman Republic. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was approximately 11,000 people, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port.......

Volcanic eruptions are a good thing,but 5 volcanic eruptions at once is a sign of armageddon days to come.destabilization of earth core magnetic field,disrupting magma chamber flow,too much sulphur in the air will turn us into a desolate wasteland like mars,all carbon based lifeforms will be extinct

All you need is to have Changi Airport closed down for one month due to ash, LHL will cry for his daddy's ghost to rescue already. SG50 NDP RSAF = No Fly Zone. HUAT!
