I aint no computer genius..Thanx and a tip of the hat to you.

The professor I talked to wasnt kidding. This is really serious ground deformation.

BUT, like good ol mother nature, they still dont know whats going to happen.

It's not a Toba, so no volcanic winter. It's not a Tambora which reduced temperatures by about a degree C, but much bigger effects locally e.g. year without a summer. Tambora was a much larger mountain when it blew up.

Probably not the size of Pinatubo either which reduced temperatures by a few tenths of a degree C. Pinatubo ejected a fairly large quantity of material for a number of blasts. I think the difference with Taal might be duration but it still might not reach as high in the stratosphere. The Little Ice Age peaked just before the Taal 1754 eruption and I don't see evidence of cooling from that eruption.

So unless it does something different I don't see it impacting the weather.

Depends on the magma it spews. And the type of explosion.

But the past eruptions all point to a local event. Nobody knows.

First thing ya know, ya dont know nothing. LOL.

Some more are waking up

Business of tragedy: Lloyd’s insurers warn of volcanic apocalypse as investors back losses with ‘catastrophe bonds’

RT
2020-01-14 19:09:00

Lloyd’s of London, one of the world’s largest insurance markets, warned that volcanic eruptions could bury 15 major cities in lava and ash in the coming two centuries. As always though, there’s money to be made in catastrophe.

The Philippines’ Taal Volcano belched into life on Sunday, spewing a cloud of ash half a kilometer into the sky and shutting down Manila’s international airport less than 80km (50 miles) away. As lava shot out of the volcano and earthquakes rumbled nearby, scientists warned of an “imminent” eruption.

The Taal Volcano last erupted in 1977, but a previous eruption in 1911 killed more than 1,300 people. Residents of the area surrounding Taal Lake are therefore worried about the possibility of another disaster.

Such catastrophic eruptions will only become more common in the coming 100-200 years, Lloyd’s of London warned on Tuesday. According to the venerable insurer, around half of the world’s volcanoes in eruption are expected to have “reawakened” during this time, after lying dormant for generations.

Moreover, Lloyd’s added, “about one percent of the world’s population lives in 15 cities within range of an active volcano.”
Comment: Volcanoes, Earthquakes And The 3,600 Year Comet Cycle
We have also discovered that cometary events and volcanic eruptions leave very similar traces. In addition, they are not mutually exclusive, both can occur simultaneously for the simple reason that cometary events do indeed cause volcanic eruptions.

Despite this proven causation, mainstream science keeps downplaying the role of cometary events in favor of a systematic recourse to spontaneous (i.e., not induced by a comet) volcanic eruptions to explain most catastrophes. [...]

To summarize, the evidence suggests that a comet (or cometary swarm) interacted with Earth ca. 14,400 BP, 10,800 BP, 7,200 BP and 3,600 BP. That is to say, on a 3,600-year cycle, meaning that we are due a repeat performance around now. Indeed, the American Meteor Society’s records of observed fireballs worldwide over the past 13 years suggest that the ‘show’ might actually have already begun..

Apparently the volcanologists are still plenty worried. Over 1/4 million people evacuated.

Case in point. Pinatubo. Took a while for that one to reach the grand finale.

Kakatoa..the 1880s eruption..That one took a while also.

Nobody knows.

If Taal does a Krakatoa, we’d better hope it’s a slow buildup, or there are going to be a million dead Filipinos. :-(

BTW, interesting side story:

Philippine city makes bricks from Taal Volcano ash for reconstruction work

In history, that thing never did a real regional violent explosion like Krakatoa or others. But, they simply do not know.

They didnt think Anak would be as nasty as it got this time either.

Agreed - a “Krakatoa” is quite unlikely.

Taal has been kicking a bit more today:
