Iceland Volcano Videos

Dear Friends,

There are some nice videos of the Iceland volcanic
eruptions on Youtube. They include:

The volcanic eruption is bringing out the expected
weirdness and strangeness such as:

Volcano ** GODS WRATH ON EUROPE ? BEGINNING OF
THE END ? DOOMSDAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZKeIcWhtRs&f

I imagine that the 2012 end-of-world authors
will find some way to use this eruption to promote
and make money with their brand of pseudoscience.

Impacts do not initiate volcanic eruptions

New ice core evidence for a volcanic cause of the A.D. 536 dust veil

A 2008 paper in AGU’s Geophysical Research Letters presents
an alternative interpretation of ice core evidence to that
discussed in “[meteorite-list] Comet smashes triggered ancient
famine ???” can be found in:

Larsen, L. B., B. M. Vinther, K. R. Briffa, T. M. Melvin, H. B.
Clausen, P. D. Jones, M.-L. Siggaard-Andersen, C. U. Hammer,
M. Eronen, H. Grudd, B. E. Gunnarson, R. M. Hantemirov,
M. M. Naurzbaev, and K. Nicolussi, 2008, New ice core
evidence for a volcanic cause of the A.D. 536 dust veil.

This paper is discussed in “536 AD and all that” at:

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/03/536-ad-and-all-that/

and “Comments on: 536 AD and all that” at:

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/03/536-ad-and-all-that/feed/

It should be interesting to how these differences of opinions
are resolved in the future.
