Canary Islands volcano ‘much more aggressive’ as new fissures erupt
The Guardian ^ | Sat 2 Oct 2021 22.00 EDT

Posted on 10/02/2021 8:03:45 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The new fissures, about 15 metres (50 feet) apart, sent streaks of fiery red and orange molten rock down toward the sea, parallel to an earlier flow that reached the Atlantic Ocean earlier this week.

The volcano has so far emitted some 80 million cubic metres of molten rock, scientists estimate – more than double the amount in the island’s last eruption in 1971.

The volcano eruption is fascinating and mesmerizing to watch. Mama Nature in all her beautiful and most terrifying glory. It’s high risk to live too close to an active in the near past volcano, and the damage it will do to structures will be great. But the sheer fury of the explosion and lava flow is sure something to behold. Glad all people were evacuated. Wonder how long this volcano will continue to blow its top.

How many SUV’s worth of CO2 did the volcano put out so far?

By the time it is done more than all the puny efforts by Democrats to reduce man’s “carbon footprint”.

It is putting out 16,380 Tons/day of sulpher dioxide - SO2 so in one day it has probably emitted more than all vehicles in history combined.

ZERO. Every SUV owned by a progressive is equipped with a 'rationalizer', that actually removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Plus, the eruption is obviously a natural process, so it can't possibly harm the environment or Mother Earth...

...should the collapse occur the east coasters would have 7 to 10 hrs to get themselves 700 to 1000 ft above sea level and no sky scrapers do not count. 1000 ft above sea level ON THE GROUND.

"ON THE GROUND", or possibly in the air: fixed wing aircraft, helicopter, lawn chair attached to multiple weather balloons, etc...
