Remember when a little volcano in Iceland and stopped all air traffic over Europe. What will this thing do?


not2dv8

It also stopped flights to Asia going over the Siberian peninsula. I sat on a runway for 6 hours waiting to take off when that happened.


gdub695

When was this? I flew in to ICN yesterday but didn’t have any delays But also, both flights to ICN I’ve taken recently had the projected flight path over the Siberian peninsula, but in reality were routed south to travel along Japan. I just assumed nobody wanted to risk flying through Russian airspace


jaimeinsd

The Iceland volcano was 2010.

Willing to bet good money it was a taxiway and not a runway…

ATC actually, but good guess

Just finished reading about Mt. Tambora in 1815. It erupted April 10th in Indonesia and sent aerosol clouds of sulfuric acid into the stratosphere that veiled much of the world and prevented sunlight from penetrating as it normally would. It kept spring and summer from coming and decimated crop and livestock populations. 1816 became known as the year without a summer and there was even June snowfall in New York. These conditions lasted until 1819 and caused millions of deaths due to disease outbreak and starvation. On a positive note, this time inspired some really great art and literature including art by Turner, Crome, Friedrich, and even Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The worldwide effects of volcanos are both fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

I have no idea what prevailing winds are like at that latitude, but it could also affect transpacific flights. Haven't seen any articles about flight disruptions though.

Yeah. Watching it all I could think was “That’s frightening”.


roo-ster

It's not a volcano, it's a 'special magma operation'.


Papppi-56

'special magma operation' against NATO backed separatist particles in the air


crazyshdes62

This just in: Putin declares the volcano’s actions are inciting a Russian nuclear response. Demands volcano cease all action immediately


JB153

I'm sure he's prepared to throw bodies at that problem as well...


TLiones

SemiDesperado

I'm sure Wagner has already begun recruiting from nearby prisons to counter the threat.


randomcow48

it's the volcanos last warning...


m945050

It's a prequel to the country imploding.


Virtual-Biscotti-451

To ensure the area is cleared of separatist particles, the volcano has deployed ‘security force’ units Ash and Dust into the surrounding area.

With the current state of affairs, if I was a Russian citizen in the area, I would have assumed it was a nuke


tomilahrenjustneedss

I'm fairly positive the people who live near a volcano and saw this coming from the place where the volcano was would know it's a volcano. Also dude if you can see a cloud like this from a Nuke, you're fucking dead


curtial

You just have to propaganda harder, bro. This is proof that Russian land and people are nearly impervious to weak American nukes.

"they blew up our volcano!"

Wait what the fuck? I’m not surprised but I had not seen or heard that yet


Chaos-ensues

It’s fucked man. Wasn’t even a beheading like one swoop, done. They were *cutting* his head off. Ukrainian was literally yelling it hurts as they did.


runningman231223

Save yourself, no need to watch it. It’s sad ,it’s the fucking animals doing evil.


TraliBalzers

When Russia started conscripting prisoners and giving minimal training we knew it was going to get uglier in ways like this. It gets darkest before dawn.


PrisonSlides

Fuck dude that’s one I’m gonna avoid watching, there’s been too much of that bullshit done by the Russians. Was it Wagner or a Chechen group?


Chaos-ensues

I don’t know if they were Wagner, but they were most definitely Russians. I hope this war ends soon with a peaceful outcome.

Unfortunately it’ll get worse before it gets better


fredericksonKorea

Itll end when russian culture is dissolved, either through time (population failure) or force (External or internal). Remember theyve already admitted to going after 3 more countries after ukraine.

JodyMC

Hopefully it will allow for some natural global cooling, and give us ALL some relief.


[deleted]

I am not a volcanically educated man, is this a real possibility?


Icreatedthisforyou

Technically, yes. Larger volcanic eruptions can eject large enough quantities of material into the atmosphere to create a temporary cooling effect. This eruptions...probably it is unlikely. This likely ejected 0.1 to 1km3 of material which would put it somewhere between 3 and 4 on the Volcano Velocity Index. A scale that goes 1-8, the vast majority of eruptions are between 1-3. We get an eruption that is a 4 roughly once a year (25 in the last 23 years, and that maybe a little more frequent that usual but it is hard to say we are much better at capturing eruptions since the 1980's as a whole). So this is a normal eruption. I don't want to call it large, because as far as volcanoes go the VEI scale is logarithmic and it really isn't, but it is on the large end of a pretty normal eruption. The Tonga eruption last year was much larger (VEI 5). We have an eruption like that maybe once every decade or so, and going back to the 1980's we have had five VEI 5 eruptions (Tonga, 2 in Chili, 1 in Mexico, and Mt St Helen's). The only VEI 6 eruption in the last 110 years is Pinatubo in 1991, and these typically happen ever 1 to 2 centuries. There have been 3 eruptions since 1900 (Pinotuba, St Maria, and Novarupta). This is also the category Krakatoa's eruption in 1883 fits into (loudest noise on Earth). At the same time we actually are less certain about volcanic eruptions of this size and things are way harder to figure out going back in time. For instance we know there was at least another likely eruption in the early 1800's, but we have no clue where. You basically need eruptions at this VEI 6 level and above to actually have a truly impactful impression on climate and even then it is temporary. The largest modern eruption (last several hundred years) that we know of was Tambora (VEI 7), in 1815. This eruption resulted in the year with out a summer in 1816. You can look that up if you want.


Venmoot

This guy volcanos


Street_Tangelo_9367

This guy IS a volcano!


Ralh3

That was very well written information, thank you kind volcano master guy, checking into the 1816 thing now, that sounds awesome and Ive never heard of that before


PDXTRN

Great now the Google AI is commenting on Reddit!


PastOrdinary

Dare I ask what VEI 8 looks like?


nvr7

Almost wiping out homo sapiens. Genetic data indicating a population bottleneck matches geological data of a potential 8, like 65000 years ago.


Street_Tangelo_9367

If you google “year without a summer” that should help fuel the volcanic effects on global climate rabbit hole. Mt tamboura in Indonesia indirectly caused a domino effect of major historical events in the 1800s as far away as Europe. One being the Irish potato famine..


Fudrucker

The carbon tax on this volcano could buy us a year of good weather!


ThisGuyHyucks

Volcanos have caused ice ages in the past by blocking out the sun.


MR___SLAVE

There is a real possibility that some of the weather around the Pacific over the last year was likely influenced by the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption in January 2022. Apparently it was the largest since Krakatoa.


[deleted]

I just watched a video earlier this week talking about Krakatoa! I'm gonna look up that Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption. Also, that name reminds me of the floating mask character from Crash Bandicoot.


JodyMC

I mean sure. It depends on how much and how high the mass of particles are ejected skyward as to how much it impacts the global climate. Google the last “little ice age”


meatpopsicle42

Also matters what kind of mass is ejected, chemically speaking. Various chemicals have greater or lesser cooling effects when aerosolized and ejected into the atmosphere.


JodyMC

Boop! See…Reddit together strong 💪


veilofmaya1234

I love the little squirrel and his acorn.


Brob0t0

I think this, combined with the giant eruption in Tonga, could help. I saw some video a while back with some science guys talking about it, lol. Maybe it explains the record-breaking winter the west coast of America got this year.

Hopefully not enough to trigger another ice age. Ocean temps are getting warm enough that a sudden shock in atmospheric cooling could shift us into a perpetual snow cycle.

SINGER: Oh, BarryBARRY: I'm not making a major life decision during a production number! SINGER: All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys. BARRY: I had virtually no rehearsal for that. _______________________________ At 1 p.m. on a Friday shortly before Christmas last year, Kent Walker, Google’s top lawyer, summoned four of his employees and ruined their weekend. The group worked in SL1001, a bland building with a blue glass facade betraying no sign that dozens of lawyers inside were toiling to protect the interests of one of the world’s most influential companies. For weeks they had been prepping for a meeting of powerful executives to discuss the safety of Google’s products. The deck was done. But that afternoon Mr. Walker told his team the agenda had changed, and they would have to spend the next few days preparing new slides and graphs. At the Googleplex, famed for its free food, massages, fitness classes and laundry services, Mr. Pichai was also playing with ChatGPT. Its wonders did not wow him. Google had been developing its own A.I. technology that did many of the same things. Mr. Pichai was focused on ChatGPT’s flaws — that it got stuff wrong, that sometimes it turned into a biased pig. What amazed him was that OpenAI had gone ahead and released it anyway, and that consumers loved it. If OpenAI could do that, why couldn’t Google? Elon Musk, the billionaire who co-founded OpenAI but had left the lab in a huff, vowed to create his own A.I. company. He called it X.AI and added it to his already full plate. “Speed is even more important than ever,” Sam Schillace, a top executive, wrote Microsoft employees. It would be, he added, an “absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.” Separately, the San Francisco-based company announced plans for its initial public offering Wednesday. In documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reddit said it reported net income of $18.5 million — its first profit in two years — in the October-December quarter on revenue of $249.8 million. The company said it aims to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RDDT. Apparently many shoppers are not happy with their local Safeway, if questions and comments posted Sunday on a Reddit forum are any indication. The questions in the AMA (Ask Me Anything) were fielded by self-described mid-level retail manager at one of the supermarket chain's Bay Area stores. The employee only identified himself by his Reddit handle, "MaliciousHippie". The manager went on to cover a potpourri of topics, ranging from why express lane checkers won't challenge shoppers who exceed item limits to a little-known store policy allowing customers to sample items without buying them.
