Scientists say a more powerful Katla volcano is 'close to failure' LONDON - A second, much larger volcano in Iceland is showing signs that it may be about to erupt, scientists have warned.
Since the start of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, which caused cancellations of thousands of flights in Europe because of a giant ash cloud, there has been much speculation about neighboring Katla.
An initial research paper by the University College of London Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction Analysis of the seismic energy released around Katla over the last decade or so is interpreted as providing evidence of a rising ... intrusive magma body on the western flank of the volcano."

Kool. That anti-Allah guy has a great sense of humor.
The ONE: “Plug the hole!”
Uh, from the point of view of the vulcano, an eruption would be a success, no?
A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole could reach our planet on or about May 31st.
Gee, at least this one is easier to spell...
It’s going to change it’s name to thirty-eight letters with two vowels?!? ;-P
Count your blessings, I say, this one is at least pronounceable!

How “green” is geothermal power now?
Better get the Top Hat or Top Kill or whatever it’s called, guys on a plane, or a big blimp...
Thanks and today 7.2 EQ -VANUATU Per USGS...........Level 3
6.1 JAPAN
5 May-11 May 2010
On 11 May the Vanuatu Geohazards Observatory reported that, following an assessment of Yasur during 26-27 April, activity from the volcano remained high. Strong degassing and ash emissions from all three active vents were noted. Ash fell on the E and W parts of the island. New bombs were deposited around the crater rim and in areas near the vents. Explosions were heard and seen from surrounding villages. Satellite imagery and seismic data confirmed strong degassing and explosive activity. The Vanuatu Volcano Alert Level (VVAL) remained at 2 (on a scale of 0-4).
the good news is, most of us can actually pronounce the name of this volcano
Still, it's Hekla (further North) that's credited pretty much with The Dark Ages, The Greek Dark Ages, Even more Dark Ages, and lots and lots and lots of bad stuff.
Thanks!
not sure if they Upgraded this earthquake from 7.2 to 7.4
Tsunmai Warning was enacted....
Earthquake - Pacific ocean - west ....
Biblical Prophecy has definetly come alive for our generation!
ping!
Yeah..True...But this is the biggie that has more doom than the flekzkdsiadjwkdks EQ....:0)
Seems rather redish-orange to me.
Minimal unrest is still being detected in the glacier and GPS monitors show slight changes to its surface, visir.is reports.
The glacier’s surface is unstable due to a thick layer of ash which creates a risk of mudslides, as have already burst forward on two occasions to the south of the glacier.
While both Grímsvötn and Hekla are ripe for an eruption the same doesn’t apply to Katla, Einarsson said, although it is known that it will erupt at some point. However, the next Katla eruption may very well be small.
Well, you gotta remember that a high authority, Priest Algore, has pronounced the temperature of the earth's core at millions of degrees.
So if the High Priest's pronouncement is correct, and if the core is iron, it's white hot and all bubbly and probably not green at all.
Fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, High Priest Algore is full of queetop (a little Indian lingo there).
LOL. I was thinking just the same thing. We have to learn
to think from the perspective of Mother Nature.
bttt
Today? Tsunami warning for U.S?
No not here..I will monitor and let you know....
UPDATE: Japan News is reporting that the Tsnami warning issued earlier has been cancelled.
Okinawa seashore is being evacuated due to the latest Japan earthquake. The okinawa japan earthquake today did not seem to affect the okinawa japan marine base.
A tsunami is expected imminently at Okinawa, Amami, Tokara islands of Japan after major earthquake per the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The National Weather Service does not expect a Tsunami on the West Coast of the United Statesdue to the Japan Earthquake today.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning after the earthquake. They made the following statement in a bulletin:
“No destructive widespread tsunami threat exists based on historical earthquake and tsunami data, However - earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometers of the earthquake epicenter.”
The 2010 hurricane season could be extra vigorous. Cool water in the western Atlantic could keep powerful storms out of the Gulf. Cyclones could blow oil slick far and wide, while more powerful storms could mix the oil with deeper waters. enlargeOil from the leaking Deep Horizon oil rig is seen swirling through the currents in the Gulf of Mexico.

Thank you.
Bush’s fault.......
Thank you for the ping.
I still think we haven’t heard the last of the Gulf oil spill.
As Charmaine Eggers said, it’s not the USofA Prez’s Katrina, it’s his Chernobyl.

When you look at that chart, you'll see the past eruptions in connection with Global Cooling. If there are eruptions on the "upside" of the temperature swing, then it will be affecting how much of an "upswing" there will be.
Take a look at the last major "Global Warming" upswing and the number of volcanoes on that "upside" of the swing. It looks like to me, what would have been more major of a "Global Warming" swing (from that deep cooling earlier) was "muted" from being even warmer than it was, from numerous volcanoes interfering into the cycles of Global Warming and Global Cooling that happen naturally, already.
Lately we've been in a "Global Cooling" phase from our last "Global Warming" phase, because of the recent sunspot low point. That's supposed to lead to a decade or more of "Global Cooling" now. And you add in those volcanic eruptions, which happen with regularity throughout our history on earth, and you've got even more of a cooling trend... :-)
And, by the way, in the Continental US, the lower 48, we've had two major volcanic eruptions last century. One in Northern California and another one in Southern Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon.
As you can see... volcanic eruptions are a "constant" in our history. They'll always be happening.
Until recently, global temperatures were more than a degree Fahrenheit warmer when compared to the overall 20th Century mean. From August of 2007 through February of 2008, the Earth’s mean reading dropped to near the 200-year average temperature of 57 degrees. Since that time, the mean reading has been fluctuating.
We, Cliff Harris and Randy Mann, believe that the warming and even the cooling of global temperatures are the result of long-term climatic cycles, solar activity, sea-surface temperature patterns and more. However, Mankind’s activities of the burning of fossil fuels, massive deforestations, the replacing of grassy surfaces with asphalt and concrete, the ‘Urban Heat Island Effect,’ are making conditions ‘worse’ and this will ultimately enhance the Earth’s warming process down the meteorological roadway in the next several decades.
From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, a climate research organization called the Weather Science Foundation of Crystal Lake, Illinois, determined that the planet’s warm, cold, wet and dry periods were the result of alternating short-term and long-term climatic cycles. These researchers and scientists also concluded that the Earth’s ever-changing climate likewise has influenced global and regional economies, human and animal migrations, science, religion and the arts as well as shifting forms of government and strength of leadership.
Much of this data was based upon thousands of hours of research done by Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler and his associates during the 1930s and 1940s at the University of Kansas. Dr. Wheeler was well-known for his discovery of various climate cycles, including his highly-regarded ‘510-Year Drought Clock’ that he detailed at the end of the ‘Dust Bowl’ era in the late 1930s.
During the early 1970s, our planet was in the midst of a colder and drier weather cycle. Inflationary recessions and oil shortages led to rationing and long gas lines at service stations worldwide. The situation at that time was far worse than it is now, at least for the time being.
The Weather Science Foundation also predicted, based on these various climate cycles, that our planet would turn much warmer and wetter by the early 2000s, resulting in general global prosperity. They also said that we would be seeing at this time widespread weather ‘extremes.’ There’s little doubt that most of their early predictions came true.
Our recent decline in the Earth’s temperature may be a combination of both long-term and short-term climate cycles, decreased solar activity and the development of a strong long-lasting La Nina, the current cooler than normal sea-surface temperature event in the south-central Pacific Ocean. Sunspot activity in the past 18 months has decreased to the lowest levels since ‘The Little Ice Age’ ended in the mid-to late 1800s. This "cool spell," though, may only be a brief interruption to the Earth’s overall warming trend. Only time will tell.
Based on these predictions, it appears that much warmer readings may be expected for Planet Earth, especially by the 2030s, that will eventually top 1998's global highest reading of 58.3 degrees. It’s quite possible we could see an average temperature in the low 60s. Until then, this ‘cooling period’ may last from just a few months to as long as several years, especially if sunspot activity remains very low.
We at Harris-Mann Climatology, www.LongRangeWeather.com, believe that our prolonged cycle of wide weather ‘extremes,’ the worst in at least 1,000 years, will continue and perhaps become even more severe, especially by the mid 2010s. We should see more powerful storms, including major hurricanes and increasing deadly tornadoes. There will likewise be widespread flooding, crop-destroying droughts and freezes and violent weather of all types including ice storms, large-sized hail and torrential downpours.
We are already seeing on virtually every continent an almost Biblical weather scenario of increasing droughts and floods. In both the southwestern and southeastern corners of the U.S, there are severe water shortage problems associated with chronic long-term dryness. In some cases, the water deficits are the worst in at least 400 years.
Dr. Wheeler also discovered that approximately every 102 years, a much warmer and drier climatic cycle affects our planet. The last such ‘warm and dry’ peak occurred in 1936, at the end of the infamous ‘Dust Bowl’ period. During that time, extreme heat and dryness, combined with a multitude of problems during the ‘Great Depression,’ made living conditions practically intolerable.
The next ‘warm and dry’ climatic phase is scheduled to arrive in the early 2030s, probably peaking around 2038. It is expected to produce even hotter and drier weather patterns than we saw during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
But, we should remember, that the Earth’s coldest periods have usually followed excessive warmth. Such was the case when our planet moved from the Medieval Warm Period between 900 and 1300 A.D. to the sudden ‘Little Ice Age,’ which peaked in the 17th Century.
By the end of this 21st Century, a big cool down may occur that could ultimately lead to expanding glaciers worldwide, even in the mid-latitudes. We could possibly see even a new Great Ice Age. Based on long-term climatic data, these major ice ages have recurred about every 11,500 years. Well, you guessed it. The last extensive ice age was approximately 11,500 years ago, so we may be due. Again, only time will tell.
Thanks for the info ST! I guess one could say is Global Warming/Cooling coming from demonic forces? and will GOD’s wrath put an end to all of it......
Have you read the *Origin of Chaos*? Fascinating! and really puts the Book of Revelation into some understanding that goes beyond what we have understood....In fact the entire Bible.....
Great Post!
OMG she is on the verge of erupting!!
I guess one could say is Global Warming/Cooling coming from demonic forces? and will GOD’s wrath put an end to all of it......
I really don't know all the mechanisms behind Global Warming and Global Cooling. There are some that are mentioned, such as sunspots (or the lack thereof), and volcanoes, maybe ocean currents, and who knows what else.
But, in all things God has the "final say" on it all. But, we do see in the book of Job that Satan (and I would suppose other fallen angels) also have powers over nature. God didn't say to Satan that he would give him powers to do certain things to Job, but rather, God gave him permission to do what was already within the power of Satan to do.
So, obviously there are some things in nature that Satan does have power over. I don't know how much of that would play into Global Warming or Global Cooling, though.
Have you read the *Origin of Chaos*? Fascinating! and really puts the Book of Revelation into some understanding that goes beyond what we have understood....In fact the entire Bible.....
I don't believe so. I looked it up on Google and there's way too many references to it on too many different subjects for me to know which one you're talking about. You'll have to give me a reference or a link... :-)
I don't know how you were going to relate that to the Book of Revelation, but I do know one thing that people tend to do with the Book of Revelation ... they tend to read into it a lot of "naturalistic processes" into what happens there, plus some additional things having to do with mankind's own actions (some of those actions of mankind having "gone wild" and thus resulting in some of the chaos exhibited there).
But, I tend to see what is described as the wrath of God as explicit actions from God and nothing "naturalistic" and thus all those things in Revelation will be distinct from many of the "naturalistic processes" that we are already familiar with now, and distinct from any kind of action from mankind's own doing. These will all be things that will and can only happen at the direct hand of God, Himself. Thus, people, on earth at that time will know it's the wrath of God, unmistakeably ...
Anyway, that's my thinking on it ...
Essene Book of Revelation....It is the Knowledge of GOD which is Gnostic so it goes into how the Sons of Light clashed with the Sons of Darkness....
Some of what is in it....
The Essene Book of Revelations
Translated by E B Szekely
Behold, the Angel of the Air shall bring him,
And every eye shall see him,
And the brotherhood,
All the vast brotherhood of the Earth
Shall raise their voice as one and sing,
Because of him.
Amen.
“I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End;
What is, what was, and what is to come.”
And the voice spoke, and I turned to see
The voice that spoke to me,
And being turned, I saw seven golden candles;
And in the midst of their blazing light
I saw someone like a son of man,
Clothed in white, white as the snow.
And his voice filled the air with the sound of rushing water;
And in his hands were seven stars,
And when he spoke, his face was streaming light,
Blazing and golden like a thousand suns.
And he said, “Fear not, I am the first and the last;
I am the beginning and the end.
It just goes into how Darkness was thrown to the earth, how Mythology came into being (Greek) the female/male part of the GODHEAD and how the Divine Realm was upset by the darkness
http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/nhl_sbj.htm.....
It truly goes into the Nature of GOD millions of years before the creation of human beings....
What would that have to do with Volcanoes, if anything? We are supposed to be on vacation during that time. Knowing our luck, we'll be hundreds of miles from home, and all of the electronics on the planet will get fried, and we'll be caught in a 'Mad Max' scenario. (Better pack more than just a couple of handguns lol)
Well from what I read Solar Energy (CME) in addition to the energy or pull from the Full Moon can have or trigger seismic events...Something I have been reading about with the increase of earthquakes and incoming solar energy
Disregard the above post. It will soon be deleted. Too many tabs opened....
Ok..I was wondering???
:)
This is really interesting because there was a FReeper on another thread about this in late April I believe who pointed out that the volcano which erupted first is almost always followed by a second, larger eruption.
The first volcano sort of lets off steam, kind of venting a little, but indicative of a more serious situation building up underground which lets go relatively soon afterward.
I’ll try to look it up but don’t know if I’ll have much success.
Hmmmmmm it’s still there. I’ll ask again sometime later....if it is still there.
