My favorite pics of the Chaiten eruption are here.
(does anyone know the name of the musical composition?)
Posted by Cjunk at May 13, 2008 11:40 AMI'm pretty sure the music is the theme from Schindler's List.
Posted by: DK at May 13, 2008 12:05 PMIt is. I am 100% sure. Listened to it yesterday.
Posted by: Shane at May 13, 2008 12:10 PMThank you! Incredibly haunting.
Posted by: Paul at May 13, 2008 12:15 PMI haven't heard the music since I played it 9 years ago, so my memory was a bit fuzzy. :-)

Posted by: Doug at May 13, 2008 12:56 PMWill this eruption cause GW or Global cooling. The ash is abundant. I still have a jar of ash from the Mt. St. Helen's eruption--that caused GC!
Posted by: George at May 13, 2008 12:57 PMExactly George.
Looks like a 100 million tonnes of ash going into the Upper Atmosphere.
Looks like Mother Nature just put Global Warming on the back burner for the next 40 years!

Bwhahahahaaaa. Thanks for my lunch laugh, Mr.G. Buuuut. You are wrong. It wasn't Mother Nature. Nope. It was the Goreacle/FruitFly/Mo-Stlong and all the other Kyoto Kultists.Their ponzi scheme worked perfectly in controlling that nasty AGW. Or at least that is what THEY will tell you. Heh

One of the scenes of the camps is it not?
Posted by: AtlanticJim at May 13, 2008 2:30 PMAwesome demonstration of nature's power. I was sleeping on this beach in Chile when this volcano erupted New Year's Eve 1971. My girlfriend and I slept through it (Chilean wine), fortunately the ash was blowing the other direction.

When this volcano first erupted a couple of weeks back, the scientific consensus is that the volcanic eruption would cause cooling in the southern hemisphere.
Apparently, it's too far south to affect the northern hemisphere.
So, now we have icebergs floating past Newfoundland due to the fact that the oceans are cooler and the icebergs are not melting at their previous rate.
And, we have cooling in the southern hemisphere due to volcanic activity.
Can anybody here explain to me which one of these natural cooling occurences are man-made?
