What Next for 2020? Volcanoes of Course!

[BananaDunka]

I'll give you 10 of something that's what

Looks like only a relatively small part of the magma which has built up has erupted, though it is easing off now - don't think anyone really knows what is going to happen next.

Currently it's toxic gas risk:

Looks like it's all spent now

Yellowstone?

 

[BananaDunka]

Yellowstone?

If yellowstone erupts super-volcano style then the best course of action is probably go deep underground in bunkers with years of supplies r hit up future space station hotels

A volcanic eruption that big would also have major effects on the global climate. Volcanoes can emit sulfur aerosols that reflect sunlight back into the atmosphere cool the climate. These particles are short-lived in the atmosphere, so the effect is only temporary, but it can still be dramatic.

When Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it cooled the planet by about 1°C (1.8°F) for a few years. The Tambora eruption in 1815 cooled the planet enough to damage crops around the world — possibly leading to famines in some areas. And those were relatively tiny eruptions compared to what a supervolcano is, in theory, capable of.

I've watched enough Kaiju films.

Does that mean to save us from global warming we need to turn to the monster we know, Volcanos?

 

[BananaDunka]

Banana.

 

[bjorkiii]

Vegans currently distraught.

Thoughts and prayers for those affected

In actual news, it seems Grindavik is in the firing line yet again as the magma refills and causes more uplift with potentially a new eruption days away

 

[NickK]

Elsewhere on the globe..

Elsewhere on the globe..

It started erupting yesterday

Sad news in Grindavik, they still haven't found him

Also Grimsvotn set for eruption now also

 

[NickK]

Iceland irrupting again..

 

[JamesH85]

Lava coming down that hill may swallow Grindavik!

 

[steve45]

looks like a further fissure has opened up literally on the outskirts of town.

 

[JamesH85]

Yup, about to hit the north of the town.

 

[bjorkiii]

The people attempting to make a barrier must be on double time at least .

 

[Minusorange]

I guess with the new fissure opening so close to town there's going to be no hope of finding the guy who fell into the crack

 

[Minusorange]

Also looks like Grindavik is going to go under the lava

A second fissure opened behind the barrier which will flow lava into the town
