  1. There have been two recent volcanic eruptions that have sent plumes of matter into the stratosphere: Tonga in January 2022 and Ruang in April 2024. The former ejected 150 million tons of SEAWATER (containing ~5 million tons of salt)and ash to a height of 58 km (190,000 ft); the Ruang eruption sent ash and sulfur dioxide to a height of 25 km (82,000 ft). Bear in mind that the Tambora eruption in 1815 resulted in Europe's infamous "Year Without a Summer" some 18 months later.

  2. What, nothing about the potential right wing involvement, or how it affected some people worse than some other people? Wow. Missed a trick there!

  3. 7 Der HERR hat geschworen wider die Hoffart Jakobs: Was gilt's, ob ich solcher ihrer Werke ewig vergessen werde?

    8 Sollte nicht um solches willen das Land erbeben müssen und alle Einwohner trauern? Ja, es soll ganz, wie mit einem Wasser, überlaufen werden und weggeführet und überschwemmet werden, wie mit dem Fluß in Ägypten.

    9 Zur selbigen Zeit, spricht der HERR HERR, will ich die Sonne im Mittage untergehen lassen und das Land am hellen Tage lassen finster werden.

    (Amos 8:7-9)
