Der Spiegel: Geologists Warning Of "Mega-Eruption"
Published:
Updated:
Der Spiegel reports on the growling-ever-louder Indonesian Merapi volcano in an article titled: Geologists Warning of Mega-Eruption of Merapi.
The Merapi eruptions are becoming more violent – and the big bang could be just ahead. The Indonesian volcano has been spewing 800°C ash clouds for days.
A rough estimate indicates that there is three times more magma than what was ejected by the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815 – the biggest eruption in the last 10,000 years, which led to a cooling of the climate globally...(more)
And it looks like Iceland may have another eruption soon...(here)

Tambora
"the bright sun was extinguish'd... morn came and went--and came, and brought no day"
-Darkness by George Gordon, Lord Byron
The Eruption
On April 10, 1815, a series of eruptions began, culminating to the largest eruption in recorded history. The eruption lasted several days. It blew a chunk off of the mountain almost a mile wide. The volcanic column, after flying 40 km (25 miles) into the sky, returned to the ground, creating a huge pyroclastic flow of ash, pumice, and debris. The pyroclastic flow alone killed more than 10,000 people in its path. The ash that fell from Tambora travelled as far as 1300 km (800 miles) away.
When the pyroclastic flow reached the ocean, the debris created such a large displacement of water that tsunamis as high as 5 meters (16 feet) emanated out from the island. These tsunamis caused flooding, devastation, and death on many of the other Indonesian islands.
After the eruption was over, an estimated 100-150 cubic kilometers of ash and debris were said to have been ejected from the mountain.
The Year without a Summer
In 1816, the overal temperature on Earth, specifically in the Northern Hemisphere, lowered so drastically that it became known as the year without a summer. Weather was disturbed all over, with problems in Western Europe and the United States, as well as Asia. Monsoon season was affected, which is thought to also be tied to a cholera epidemic that year. In places like New England and Canada, frost was recorded in every month of the year, and snow fell in June. This phenomenon is known as global cooling.
The summer temperatures in 1816 averaged just a few degrees below normal, but as mentioned, it frosted throughout the summer. The highs were still close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit on some days. However, the cold spells, especially at night, caused massive crop failure and as a result, even more famine.
Comments
"Spark up the barbies!" jarasan.
Let's hope it ain't a "super eruption".
Today, over 50% of the population lives in cities or small towns with little to no access to land. Should there ever be another "year without a summer" the resulting famine would create a total shutdown of society on all levels. Rioting would be commonplace; murder would be the name of the game; anyone with a store of food would be massacred for what little they had; those without a means of self-protection (i.e. own a gun with an abundant supply of ammo) would be killed and eaten.
Let us hope that day never comes. Let us pray that there will never be another Tambora.
Yellowstone is looking a little angry right about now.
==Clif High's web bot project. Now besides the sun, the Nasa space shuttle launch, the Prez leaving the country with 34 warships (stop me if I'm wring, he did leave today didn't he?) I will add this volcano biz. Keep us posted won't you.
This morning I missed this radio show about Clif High but I found the archive and am listening right now. Here's a link to that page: They are taking about the "tipping point".... here...http://www.oneradionetwork.com/health_-_podcasts/open_friday_forums/cliff_high%27s_tipping_point_today_-_open_phone_friday_-_susun_weed_starts_at_9_am_central_201011041931/
Obama has 34 warships (and 64 ? aircraft) and 3000 people accompanying him, including the entire WH staff, FRIENDS, and family. Congress is in recess. Hillary is in New Zealand or somewhere. The Federal reserve elite are meeting on Jekyll Island, GA this weekend. Everybody is 'out of town', especially DC. If something happens there we'll know it was a setup.
I smell a big rat. Can't help but wonder if HAARP technology is being used to disturb the magma chambers in all these volcanos going off at the same time.
Watched a snippit on CNN with the 360 guy...says all these figures are rumours and not varified. Soooooo, the Pentagon said noooo it's not 34 ships, lol a n d the white house says Noooooo, it's not 200 million a week! Funny they don't offer any figures tho. We are in deep dark doo-doo!
I agee, already looks like a set-up for something. False flag anyone? And, I remember some time ago it was said, if all these ppl leave town at once then WATCH OUT!
If the Simpson's predictive programming is true, tomorrow 11/06/10 (09/11/01 upside down) is the day. The name of the episode is To Surveillance With Love and it aired in May of this year. In it a dirty bomb goes off in Springfield. In the explosion the town clock is thrown through the air and lands next to Homer. The clock hands are on 11 and 6 and they linger on the scene for a couple seconds. The clock base and face make a '10'. Later in the show they show Springfield under total surveillance. There's also a scene where Bart is pointing to an unlabeled US map and there are three cities marked. My guess is Phoenix, Chicago, DC but the map is distorted so it was hard to tell.
I'll probably post a link tomorrow if I'm still alive...lol
Earlier I made my list of guesses as to what this might be:
1. the sun
2. worse volcanos/earthquakes
3. Prez shot
4. terrorist attack
5. $ crash/bank holiday
6. Iran attacked
7. Nukes in U.S.
Clif High said it would be worse than 9/11. But he also said it's nothing he can guess.
Rick, have you got tarps and duct tape to seal up your windows? I'm still buying water...

Haiti Earthquake at Port au PRINCE
Chile earthquake at CONCEPCION
PRINCE + CONCEPTION + 9 months from conception = Nov. 6
Speaking of Prince, watch for the role Prince William will play as Saviour in the New World Order plan.
