Another 'Explosion', This Time In Ecuador

  • *ECUADOR REPORTS TWO `SMALL' EXPLOSIONS IN COTOPAXI VOLCANO

One wonders if they too have exces auto inventory?

Ecuador’s Geophysical Institute, known as IGEPN, reports new eruption at the Cotopaxi volcano outside of nation’s capital Quito at 10:50am local time Friday.

Yesterday at 17h21 a swarm of earthquakes that lasted until 18h06 (local time) was detected. The largest earthquake of this swarm occurred at 17h23 and had a magnitude 2.7. Later today at 04h02 and 04h07 two explosions were recorded, the first of which had an amplitude 6 Pa NTBs station. This corresponds to small explosions. See figure 1. These explosions were heard by climbers who climbed the volcano.

Cotopaxi Special Report # 5

Fig. 1 Registration of infrasound station of NTBs. The time indicated in GMT hours, which is 5 hours more than Ecuador hour. Here the signs of the explosions today in the Cotopaxi volcano seen. The possibility of explosions in the volcano was reported in scenario 2, which was presented in the special report n.- 4 August 7, 2015.
 
The Geophysical Institute of the National Polytechnic School is continuously monitoring changes in activity in the volcano and promptly report any changes. The climbers is especially recommended caution in the area of ??the crater, to the possible occurrence of explosions, which throw blocks or very energetic emissions of steam and volcanic gases, which can be harmful to health.

This is interesting re Mount Tambora 1815 eruption:

"As a result, not only did the mountain go from a height of 4,300 m to 2,850 m, but CO2 was released into the atmosphere in such quantities that it impacted the climate on a global scale. In 1816, several regions of the world experienced a climatic shift, with a temperature drop of a few degrees Celsius, impacting agriculture to such an extent that it caused famine and disease in Europe."

Lots of CO2 = cooler? I'm confused now.

That was ashfall, which overcomes any effect of CO2...assuming CO2 even makes that much of a difference. When one looks at the great ice age cycles and checks the amount of CO2 present in ice core samples, CO2 levels always increased AFTER the ice ages started.

Who really knows what to believe any more...science is so heavily politicized it is hard to determine which studies are done without a pre-existing agenda these days. But ash into the high atmosphere DOES decrease world temperatures.

Science relies on the scientific method, which relies on experimentation.

No experimentation=No science.

Astronomy, astrophysics, ecology, geology, meteorology, paleontology and archeoloy are not sciences.

Curiously, both economics and sociology could "be" sciences if one believes economists and sociologists do not just observe society, but experiment with it.

Wave X? You mean the one that the evil scientists at CERN are creating to keep us all trapped here? Or the wave of cosmic rays the universe is sending our way to enhance our DNA so we can escape our controllers? Is Dr. Simon Atkins a disinfo artist? Is 'The Wave' of Laura Knight-Jadzyck fame the real deal? Is the wave an emanation from the central core of our galaxy caused by a black hole eating matter, as LaViolette says? Or is it the three 'waves of volunteers' of starseeds that are here on Earth to change it from within as prophesied by Dolores Cannon?

It's all so confusing...think I'll just grab my board and catch a wave.

Ha!  Read The Gods of the Copybook Headings...:

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

Possibly some temporary global cooling if this gets big enough:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-volcanoes-affect-w/

"Initially, scientists believed that it was volcanoes' stratospheric ash clouds that had the dominant effect on global temperatures. The 1982 eruption of El Chich¿n in Mexico, however, altered that view. Only two years earlier, the major Mt. St. Helens eruption had lowered global temperatures by about 0.1 degree C. The much smaller eruption of El Chich¿n, in contrast, had three to five times the global cooling effect worldwide. Despite its smaller ash cloud, El Chich¿n emitted more than 40 times the volume of sulfur-rich gases produced by Mt. St. Helens, which revealed that the formation of atmospheric sulfur aerosols has a more substantial effect on global temperatures than simply the volume of ash produced during an eruption. Sulfate aerosols appear to take several years to settle out of the atmosphere, which is one of the reasons their effects are so widespread and long lasting."

However, the downside:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotopaxi

"Future Cotopaxi eruptions pose a high risk to the local population, their settlements and fields. The main danger of a huge eruption of Cotopaxi would be the flow of ice from its glacier. If there were to be a very large explosion, it would destroy most of the settlements within the valley in the suburban area of Quito (pop. more than 2,000,000). Another city which would be in great danger is Latacunga, which is located in the south valley and was destroyed in the 18th century by volcanic activity."
