The eruption of Calbuco, one of Chile’s 500 active volcanoes, has captured the world’s attention with strikingly beautiful images and stories of hasty evacuations. However, the really important story behind this eruption is even subtler: it is a vivid illustration of Earth’s awesome natural geological forces. It’s a rare glimpse into the powers that can move mountains, rip continents apart, and more importantly, alter our climate.
The Calbuco eruption is a wake-up call for “consensus” global warming theory climate scientists; it shows that geologic forces eclipse man-made global warming, adding another layer to the climate debate.
It’s time for climate scientists to include the affects of these natural forces into computer models and climate pattern predictions. Calbuco is releasing massive amounts of particulate matter, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and sulfur dioxide into the upper and lower atmosphere, and in turn altering our climate. The degree to which this eruption changes earth’s climate will be seen in months to come. But make no mistake, it will alter our climate.
