Y2Kyoto: Location, Location, Location

1. Property values in Kauai going UP … with each new fissure.

2. I think I’m gonna invest in hawaii real estate.
   oughta be worth megamillions in oh, say, 100,000,000 years when this lava business subsides.
   who the FCUK builds right next to a volcano, sea shore, busiest street in the city, flood plain, etc etc?

   1. And let’s not forget…golf course.

3. An atmospheric CO2 monitoring station just a few kilometers from the most active volcano on the planet. Like situating a thermometer next to a BBQ surrounded by an asphalt parking lot, then announcing that the earth has a fever. Whatever problem it is we’re trying to measure, increased taxes will always be the solution.

   1. YOUR taxes are needed to place MORE thermometers on the tarmac … esp. out in rural environments … because we need to defeat the Urban Heat Island effect. Can’t let anyone learn that only the nasty urban jungles (that the leftists want everyone to live in) … are getting hotter … while the hinterlands remain cool and wonderful. Nope. The WHOLE world needs to be given an artificial fever.

4. Paradise has always been paved with lava. Just look at the area around Spokane…

   Columnar basalts are actually very cool formations.

5. I can imagine Climate Barbie pointing to that and saying:

   “See? That’s what climate change will look like within a few years if we don’t impose a carbon tax on all of you hillbillies. That’s because the science is settled! If you don’t believe it, I don’t have time for you.”

6. All the pictures on our walls here on Vancouver Island have been knocked askew in the last couple of days. That is a normal indicator of distant earthquakes even if we human beings haven’t detected the tremors. Glad we visited Hawaii’s Big Island before it becomes “Big Hole”.

   1. ‘ Glad we visited Hawaii’s Big Island before it becomes “Big Hole”.’ I agree. We flew over the Kilauea on a helicopter tour on April 19 and it was pretty quiet then. The next week the earthquakes began and then the eruptions. I do believe the helicopter tours have been suspended.

      1. Beware the Hilina Slump

         1. good article on the slump….putting it in context.

7. I didn’t see the pink hotel or the boutique but the swinging hot spot was pretty obvious.

8. When Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, it spewed gases into the atmosphere that were greater than all of the automobiles in history combined to that date.

   That is amazing in itself but what is more important is that within a few years, the earth’s skies were as clear as they ever were.

9. Wait till Justine hears about this,those Hawaiians are gonna pay for all that carbon their producing. Climate Barbie will be sent down there to lecture them and collect the checks!

10. CO2 is like trans fats and steroids for things growing outdoors.

11. Where are the protesters.
    All that lava pollution, all that sulphur, all that gas.
    My goodness, what’s the world coming to, is there no tomorrow?
    Shirley there is something to protest.

    1. Please don’t call me Shirley.
       Actually, the one I worry about is the (super) volcano around Yellowstone Park south of here.

       Yellowstone supervolcano may erupt sooner than thought, potentially wiping out life

       “It’s shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption,” study co-author Hannah Shamloo said in the Times article.
       The researchers added it’s still too early to determine an exact timeline of when the supervolcano will erupt.

       The new discovery, which was presented in August, comes after another study in 2011, in which researchers found the ground above the magma chamber bulged by up to 25 centimetres in a span of about seven years.
       The past predictions have worried NASA so much that the organization is now working on a way to prevent the supervolcano from destroying humankind. According to National Geographic, NASA plans to drill into the magma chamber to cool down the volcano.

       More. . .

       Nothing that a little volcano tax won’t fix.

12. Climate Ken(P.M. Trudeau) and Climate Barbie will seize the opportunity to level a carbon tax on imported pineapple from Hawaii.

    Hawaiians will announce: “The gods of the volcano demand a sacrifice of two true believers. Volunteers to compensate Gaia for the sin of their white privilege. One must be blonde and the other have great socks.

    1. Climate Ken? I resent the implied association.

13. Pele doesn’t like fake birth certificates
