No, not global warming -- it's Bush's fault.

It seems that once a Nation wipes out it's Christian population with the Islamic Horde, it turns from the Vacation spot of the Earth to the Volcano and Tsunami Capitol.

Allah may be their God, but it seems that Allah is not really God.

Or of course, he hates them...

"Rustam Pakaya, a senior health ministry official in Jakarta, said there were four villages threatened by the volcano.

"There are 3 400 people evacuating. But they return to their home and work in the morning," Pakaya said. - Reuters"



Optimistic guy, no?

Nice, but the population of the islands where this volcano is is 95% CHRISTIAN.

Ooops. So much for that theory.

No, actually global cooling.

If this baby blasts some ash up high enough then it will give us a sunshade and break the heat wave in California.

But sulfur dioxide gas released by volcanos can sometimes reach the upper atmosphere and there reflect solar heat back from Earth and cause some global cooling.

This volcanic eruption doesn't sound big enough to do the job, however.

This volcano erupts a lot in not-that-big-eruptions.

The whole island of Siau was evacuated because of it in 1974 - it's a threat to people living on the island and not much else.

The heat wave in California has more to do with increased solar activity this year, not Boxer, etc. Scientists have found a way to predict solar output from reactions going on under the surface, and they predicted a scorcher this year.

Before that less sun spots than normal were the only clue they had to go on. Sunspots cycles are around every 9-10 year I think.

18 years ago we had a hot time here, but the worst years were around 1903.
