Is it releasing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere?
We can't have any of that.
Maybe Obama will plug the volcano too!

Pretty crazy. Just glad that there's little risk to anybody being injured or killed.

 

[Mr. H.]

Just for shits and giggles...

Is Katla gettin' ready to erupt?...

Iceland's Katla volcano hit by unusually large earthquakes
Tuesday 30th August, 2016: Two unusually large earthquakes hit one of Iceland's biggest volcanoes early on Monday, raising concerns of a possible eruption, the Icelandic Met Office said.

The Katla volcano has not erupted properly since 1918 and scientists say it is overdue to do so, although an eruption could still be decades away. "It is quite a dynamic situation now, in the next hours and days following this, but as we speak at the moment we do not see any signs that there is an imminent hazardous unrest about to happen," Matthew Roberts, a natural hazards scientist at the Icelandic Met Office, said.

Ash from an eruption of the nearby Eyjafjallajokull volcano in 2010 shut down much of Europe's airspace for six days. Katla, in southern Iceland, was rocked by quakes of magnitude 4.5 and 4.6 overnight. The volcano sustained similar movements in 2011.

The volcano is covered by an ice cap, which should, in the event of an eruption, typically contain the lava for around 60 to 90 minutes, giving time to alert the population and international air traffic, Roberts said.

It is humorous to watch right-wing nutcases that celebrate natural disasters that add to human created increases in carbon dioxide levels. Somehow, the morons believe that it helps their case.
