Al Gore worried? How can a brain dead imbecile worry about anything other than stuffing his big fat head full of free government largess?

He is an insignificant truth.

[GregB]

No way the current events come close to Krakatoa.

[GonzoGOP]

The eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (I-jaf-jalla-jokull) volcano on April 14, 2010, is being compared to Krakatoa’s famous eruption on August 27, 1883 which had a great effect on weather patterns for the next few months.

Like comparing a .22 to a 16" Naval Gun. Eyjafjallajokull is an average every day volcano. Krakatoa was a full off caldera blast. It blew 21 cubic kilometres of ash into the stratsophere over a very short period of time. I'm not saying that Eyjafjallajokull can't screw up the weather. Mount Pniatubo(SP) in the Philippines certainly did and it was similar to Eyjafjallajokull. But Krakatoa’s 1883 blast was in a different category.

Why would Gore worry? Is the ash cloud predicted to dump on iGore’s new $8 million estate in California?

Well it shouldn't be.

When Krakatoa₍₁₎ finally went BOOM, it was the loudest explosion ever recorded in the history of 'man kind'₍₂₎, including up to today.As it could be heard and felt thousands of miles away.

'Power wise', Krakatoa was (iirc) like the Hiroshima A Bomb 10⁵ (10 to the 5th power).
[in technical terms that's, 'a lot' ;-)]

(1) 'Krakatoa' consisted of three separate 'island' volcanoes. and the eruptions were over a period of time. The last one 'was it'.
(2) Natch nobody knows about the Asteroid that wiped out the Dinosaurs.

He should be worried....I think he bought ocean front property there and is having party for all the Dems. He also invited the Pres & 1st lady as well. We’re all hoping that Krakatoa will go off soon.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Algore is more worried about Cashjallajokul than Eyjafjallajokull.

[Flightdeck]

Was there any noticeable effect due to the Mt. Saint Helen’s blast?

[Haiku Guy]

Al Gore is delighted. Now, every time the weather fails to fallow the predicted global warming pattern, he can blame the volcano.

The Earth is in a cooling cycle. Things were looking really bad for Boy Genius until the Volcano came along. Now they can dismiss all the contradictory data for a couple of years and keep the money machine running.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It’s at least 10 degrees below normal in the SF Bay Area right now and raining. Normally by mid-May, the rains have stopped for the summer season (dry until late October) and we’ve had a couple of 90 - 100 degree hot spells. I wonder how long it takes the ash to have its effects.

[The Great RJ]

There is no better proof of the global warming hoax than Al Gore, the hypocrite, who assured us that much of our coastline was to be imminently inundated due to melting ice caps, now basking in the sun at his new seaside mansion. Needless to say the MSM would never mention this blatant hypocrisy.

[Clive]

Here is the solution to global warming.

Mount a Manhattan District style project to learn how to provoke major pyroclastic volcano eruptions.

The adverse economic effects would be serious, as witnessed by the effect on air transportion in Europe, but it would be less severe than the wholesale economic disruption of commerce contemplated by current "cap and trade" conventional wisdom.
