Yeah…Im in high school, but uh…im doing a project on this and this helps quite a bit, despite the unrelated topics, and these fricken nimrods with the glowing Russians. Yes, you pee-brain cocoabongo, Britain is a country with inhabitants wit yellow teeth and retarded accents.

Mention Rush and they come out of the woodwork. I agree. Discuss the topic…

Sorry, I was confused by the second photograph. I could swear it looked like the cover of Dianetics.

Interesting article, but how or why would Ben Franklin be blamed in 1816? His experiments with electricity were in 1752, and the man died in 1790. It’s doubtful that he would be blamed for something he did four decades earlier, or that anyone would remember or care.

My teacher said that Yellowstone National Park In the US is over a Super large Magma Storage Layer. And if it erupts It will bring another “year without a summer” except… instead of one year it would be ten years… THAT IS SCARY RIGHT THERE…

fyi, the summer of 1816 is also called "Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death." I wonder when that phrase came into being, whether it was during the volcanic winter or in more modern times.

I agree with rp2. More volcano talk, please. :-)

Is a volcanic eruption’s size simply measured by how many cubic kilometers (or any other cubic measurement) of volcanic ash/pyroclastic material it puts out?

One of the world’s largest known eruptions (Toba) took place in northern Sumatra (Indonesia) approximately 74,000 yrs ago, spewing over 2500 cubic kilometers of volcanic debri. This event is believed to have nearly wiped out the human race. Estimates run from a few thousand to perhaps a hundred thousand people made it through the five year-long winter.

Oax said: "Last week, Rush Limbaugh, from whom I get all my environmental science, explained how the pollution we create is insignificant compared to volcanoes, so it's okay to pollute. Wow! he was right again!

If you wanna come over and shoot me, please feel welcome…"

OAX if I shot you it wouldn't be for listening to Rush it would be for being an inaccurate LIBERAL. Rush has never said it is okay to pollute, he said that the environment itself pollutes the atmosphere way more than we do/can through volcanoes and other natural disasters and there is nothing we can do about it. But the environmental wacko's want to set around and blame an SUV or anything else for every fear they can conjure up. Just 1 example would be the article I read recently about the FEAR of loss of forest/tree's to plant bio fuel in developing countries. So now the SAVIOR to the environment is killing the environment? Mark my word hydrogen cars will be the source of a form of deadly pollution by the end of this decade. Why, because this type of person doesn't want anyone to succeed or better themselves unless it is them. Credibility is quickly being lost with the environmental movement.
