#5 "Iâm curious to see how the MSM reacts given that volcanic eruptions are the most important short/medium influence on climate."

Don't hold your breathe waiting for them to acknowledge that; I doubt they really give a flying fat rat's ass about climate change, other than as a hoked-up rationale for attacking those eeeeevil SUVs and the eeeeevil Republicans who drive them, our eeeeevil capitalist system, and Eeeeevil Big Oil.

#6 It's beginning to look like the magnitude 10 quake that caused the tsunami in Dec is only part of a major increase in tectonic activity around those plates.

It's gonna be an interesting year ... politically, economically, and now even geologically ....

#7 Iâm curious to see how the MSM reacts given that volcanic eruptions are the most important short/medium influence on climate.

I wouldn't be surprised at articles like, "US failure to submit to Kyoto triggers climate damaging volcanic eruptions. Commentary from Very Important Climate Scientists at 6."

#8 Man, the corrupt corporate MSM are in the pay of the ChimpHitler puppetmaster to suppress the truth about the Halliburton/Zionist volcano machine that is raping Mother Gaia and destroying our clean air.

#9 #4 AzCat - and since it's still dark there at this hour, the image is black.

I'd settle for some still photos of the eruptions.

#11 It's all George Bush's fault. How can he allow this volcano to erupt.

#12 MSM?

Nah they're too busy - its work hard to ignore the successes in Iraq and Afghanistan, while applauding and encouraging the figurative crucifixion of Terri ~~Schiavo~~ Schindler at the hands of the state.

#13 It's usually against my DNA programming to recommend anything from the BBC, but the two-part series they did last week, called "Supervolcano" was really good, if you have a chance to catch it.
It's a "what-if" scenario for what would happen if the large caldera that makes up Yellowstone Park explodes, as it does roughly every 400,000 years or so (we're at 460,000 years since the last eruption).
From the havoc shown in its scenario, a major nuclear strike might be more preferable.

Here's a U.K. Times story on it:

#14 Seafarious---Link to Alaska Volcano Observatory HERE.

Things in Kamchatka are pretty active. Locally, we are keeping an eye on Mt. Spurr, which has the nasty habit of dumping ash all over South Central Alaska when it erupts. Lots of additional info at the site.

#15 Observatory, of course...I thought it said factory!
