A new island has appeared in the Pacific. A submarine eruption just off Nishino-Shima Island Japan has erupted for the first time in 40 years !he Japanese Na"y noticed the e#plosions as boilin$ la"a met sea water $i"in$ rise to plumes of steam and ash. Almost %&000 miles away in 'e#ico& the (olima "olcano blew its top after a period of relati"e calm. A steam and ash cloud rose two miles into the s)y and the $rumblin$ of the mountain could be heard in towns a few miles away. In *uatemala the +,ire 'ountain- belched out la"a and sent up a moderate ash cloud causin$ an ash fall o"er nearby towns. !he e#plosions and shoc) wa"es occurrin$ in the "olcano can be felt by residents o"er . miles away. /oors and windows are reported to be rattlin$& but there has been no dama$e so far. In 0anuatu the 1asur "olcano is $i"in$ some cause for concern. Althou$h the e#plosions are 2uite wea) the continuous ash that is comin$ from the mountain is startin$ to build up on farmin$ land. 3"er to Italy& 'ount 4tna is puttin$ on 2uite a display. !he current eruption started a few days a$o and has been $ettin$ stron$er as time mo"es on. A massi"e eruption lit up the s)y and disturbed residents yesterday. !he ash cloud was hi$h enou$h to see fli$hts canceled. !he la"a flow was the bi$$est in years& and the town of 5afferana which lay in its path saw some dama$e. 6a"a di"erters were put into place& and most of the town escaped unscathed. In Indonesia a four mile hi$h ash cloud is ma)in$ life hard for residents.

'ount Sinabun$ came bac) to life in 7080 after dormancy of hundreds of years. 3ccasionally comin$ to life after its 7080 awa)enin$& the rumblin$ of the "olcano prompted the e"acuation of o"er .000 people as scientists feared a major eruption. !here has been no la"a flows so far but the ash cloud is $rowin$.

Mount Sinabung ash lou!

Still in Indonesia but on the island of Ja"a this time& 'ount 'erapi e#ploded yesterday. 'any people were )illed when it last erupted in 7080. !here is no news of casualties at this point. So& we ha"e eruptions bi$ enou$h to prompt e"acuations. ,li$hts are canceled& and a new island pops up off the coast of Japan. I would ha"e called that newsworthy myself but ob"iously I-m wron$. If I was ri$ht it would ha"e been common )nowled$e ri$ht9 :eports may ha"e been on the news ri$ht9 So many "olcanoes throwin$ so much $as& ash and particulates into the air can ha"e an effect on climate& this is a scientific fact. I-m not sayin$ that these "olcanoes herald the start of a new ice a$e but the planet certainly seems to be $ettin$ a bit more acti"e of late. (ontinued lar$e eruptions put a hu$e amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere& and these particles reflect sunli$ht away from earth and when there is enou$h of them the temperatures can drop. !he 'ount Pinatubo eruption lowered temperatures by around 0.;<( across the Northern =emisphere. (onsiderin$ that we are in a coolin$ period anyway& ha"in$ so many "olcanoes $oin$ off at the same time is not $ood. Aside from the de"astatin$ effects the la"a and ash can ha"e on the li"es of those li"in$ near to them& the $lobal impacts can be enormous. 6ost crops due to ash fall and lower temperatures can lead to hun$er and famine& as happened after the !ambora eruption in 8>8;. 4conomic losses due to lost crops and canceled fli$hts runs into millions of dollars a day& as with the Icelandic eruption of 4yjafjallaj?)ull @pronounced aya fiat la u cud laA in 7080. !he spasms of the earth come without warnin$& but at the same time those spasms should be a wa)e up call to all of us that chan$e can happen in the blin) of an eye. Better be prepared for it.
