Well as I was sitting here, in DC, watching the predicted 14 inches fall on top of the 42 inches already on the ground, I was reading a report, from a Volcan-Climatologist.
He claims that there is a fault on the north Side of St Helens,
If the Explosion had gone out the side the 11 Cubic Kilometers of ash would have devastated Washington State, but not gotten into the Stratosphere.
There would have been no Years without Summer in '82 or '83, or the colder than normal rest of the 80's.
He goes on to point out that most of the Nitro-oxide had dissipated by 1985, and thing would have returned to normal
Turns out those old wives tales about the A-Bombs affecting the weather were true after all -the nitro-oxide produced and carried aloft, inhibits the Greenhouse effect, for up to 4 years afterwards.
[Bet You were just waiting for the nutty Greenies and their Wacko Greenhouse Theory*, to be mentioned.]
Except whe had the second Eruption in '86 with 6 cubic kilometers of Ash, and then Mount Pinatubo, with 5 cubic Kilometers in '91.
And that is why whe seem to have sliped into the new Ice age.
Whe have had a lot more than the 6 cold summers in a row said to be the trigger.
Well enuff of a Break -- Back to packing --I have a couple of Uncles & Cousins in St Pete [Tampa Bay] so I hope I can stay with them.
?Any one know if there is anything to the Rumors, that Florida is going to forbid any immigration without proof of employment?
* Have you heard the latest-- Now the Greenies are saying that with out the Volcanoes, whe would be looking at a ice free Arctic by 2012.
Yeah Right
