AMAZING!
Last night I watched a “How The Earth Was Made” special on Krakatoa...this reminds me of it!

Can we get one of those to erupt under the Capitol?

Cool, Mother Nature made a drain hole to compensate for the rising oceans caused by the melting icebergs caused by global warming which was caused by evil SUVs. Why don't you send that rather succinct analysis along to Al Gore? I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

Robert Felix has been a proponent of the theory of excessive underwater volcanic activity which is the source, to a great extent, of the rising temps. of the oceans.
There is no evidence of excessive underwater volcanic activity; it's always been going on for billions of years and there's no evidence there's any more now than there always has been.
Ice Age Now is a crackpot site and it's a bit disturbing it's being "taught."

I think it likely that this eruption will toss more CO2 into the air than the whole US does. But it’s “natural” so nobody will care.

If you haven't already, do a web search for "Surtsey", which formed near Iceland over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the late '60s/early '70s. National Geographic did a good job of documenting its formation.
Spreading centers/rift zones are another popular plate boundary for volcanic activity, but most of it is underwater.

I have read that volcanism produces more particulate matter and CO2 in a year than the entire cumulative output of all machines, vehicles, and factories since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Ooooooooooh. . . . What an awesome display of monochromatical carbonificationary globular warmingness of the sea and sky! Nature does this every now and to remind we puny mortals that she holds all the face cards.

“which formed near Iceland over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge”
How comes that the official ocean relief map (used by Google Earth) indicated a depth of at least 1200 ft for the coordinates of the volcano that erupted out from the ocean?
Answer: google, result #1 says it all

Yeah they are to close. The wave could have knocked the boat over.

USGS.gov has an estimate that volcanoes emit about 145-255 million tons of CO2 per year, versus 30 billion tons for human activities.
