ooh....

A prize to the first person who hears "Climate Change" mentioned regarding this in the media....

That thing will put out more of those horrid carbon thingys than all the worlds cars in one go.

But it still our fault.

[Eric Mc]

Hmm - that one could go bang big-time.

Supersonic pyrocalstic flows anyone?

Mother nature reminding us, on this week of Copenhagen, that she's still the boss...

(Flashback to the aftermath of the dodgy prawn Phall I had the other night. The horror...oh, the horror)

A rare typo from the Eric there - should be pyroclastic

Just ensuring the balance is kept on PH

To bloody right M.A.M!

What's the betting winkymcfkcheese still claims the glory as the earth cools.

One of the most dangerous of all, listed with Vesuvius, Mt Rainer, and Pinatubo.
Could go with a REALLY big bang....

Typos and me are actually common bedfellows. However, I normally catch them in time.

What about finding them in the comments section?

They must be PHers.

Volcano? Affecting the climate? Never.

This is one in south america a while ago.

That's awesome. Really shows how powerless we are.
Until we set off an A bomb.

I like this comment:-

"Bertie Dastard wrote:
The CO2 is not the danger, nor is the lava. If this volcano does explode with enough force the ash in the air will keep the planet dark for months, ruining crops and killing millions indirectly. This will also counter balance global warming, and reduce the planets population, so long term it could be a good thing. My money is on the super volcano under yellowstone to blow and really address the population increases. Short term tradegy for long term gains."

He's got to be a PH'er!

Definitely, proven by the skilful use of 'tradegy'.

COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Mayhem death and destuction - isn't it a tiddler not a supervolcano? The goat in the video might want to check its life insurance small print. If it does go pop in a big way, seeking a bit of limelight as well as lavalight, it'll offset El Nino's last gasp in 2010 and as the public will be about as clued up over volacanism as they are about ENSO it'll be 15-all, play.

As we know, the world is now without a doubt a few degrees warmer, so decades ago this molten lava probably would have cooled and solidified.
Those few extra degrees cause the magma to stay hotter for longer, and will mean disasters like this will be more common.

I've flown past Mayon a few times, the pilots would often bank the plane so people could get a good veiw, even those on the wrong side of the plane
It's in a quite rural area, so moving the people isn't too much of a problem.
Daal is the one close to Manila, not big and majestic like Mayon, it is in the middle of a lake, (guess how the lake was formed),that thing is always steaming.
Only positive is there are some hot springs close by

[Puggit]

I'm going to stick my neck on the line, and guess that's not going to be a perfectly symmetrical volcano for long
