Sarychev Peak on Matua Island is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, northeast of Japan. Astronauts took this photo of an eruption on June 12. The plume appears to be a combination of brown ash and white steam. The vigorously rising plume gives the steam a bubble-like appearance; the surrounding atmosphere has been shoved up by the shock wave of the eruption. Credit: NASA/ISS/Earth Observatory

Obama should send this as a picture postcard to N Korea’s Kim Yong-dingbat and let him figure out what it is.
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen lately. Thanks.
Matua is a common place name right across the Pacific, encompassing dozens of geographically disparate cultures and languages. Nice volcano, too.
That volcano will put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than all the cars in North America this year.
Damn that nature-made global warming!!
#4 – Admittedly we can’t do much about the volcano but….just saying.
#4, actually volcanoes produce global cooling. This is good news for the alarmists, now they can say all their model failures are because of this eruption, even the cooling that’s already happened.
#6, the ash does produce a temporary cooling effect – but enormous amounts of methane, steam and CO2 are also pumped high into the atmosphere.
Cool. Also, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the second picture of the real cause of Global Warming. 😉
Man, that eruption looks spooky like an A-bomb mushroom cloud. Is Mother Nature trying to imitate us or something?
>the ash does produce a temporary cooling effect
A few years. Mount Pinatubo is credited with some cooling in the late 80s.
volcanos, it is just mother earth cutting one…
ha…global warming…
it’d be nice if they told us about the other 25+ volcanoes currently popping off (or even took them into account).
check out this disaster map..has all the current volcanoes and other nasties listed. its the underwater volcanoes and the electromagnetic effects of where we are in the galaxy that effect the climate. C02 is just political horse pucky. (and a trailing indicator ta boot)
google “the electric universe theory” and “thunderbolts of the gods” <-vid
learn how the universe really works and realize almost all we’ve been taught is a crock

With the volcanoes creating global cooling, I guess we should all start driving SUVs again to counteract this cooling problem!
