| Volcano Eruption on Kamchatka Peninsula - Massive Ash Cloud |
| 2023-04-12 |
| [MSN] volcano erupted early Tuesday on Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, spewing clouds of dust more than 12 miles into the sky and covering broad areas with ash. Ash fell on 41,699 square miles of territory, according to the regional branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Geophysical Survey. Scientists described the fallout as the biggest in nearly 60 years. too early to estimate effects on weather, pollution levels, sunset enhancement, ozone - depends on how much ash made it into the stratosphere |

| #5 too early to estimate effects on weather Maybe, but I'm sure it will strengthen man-made global climate change! Just you wait! |

| #4 #1 Wonder what this will do to Russian Pacific Fleet operations? Klyuchi and Fokino are less than 30 miles apart. Posted by: Skidmark 2023-04-12 06:30 ...Remember what MT Pinatubo did to Clark AB in the Philippines in the early 90s. Right after the USAF declared as a matter of policy that nothing short of a nuclear weapon could completely incapacitate a modern base, we lost three in a row (two to hurricane, one to volcano.) And just recently, Tyndall AFB FL was just about leveled from a hurricane and Offutt AFB NE was knocked out for more than a year by flooding. Mike |

| #3 Climate cooling alert until the spewed particulates clear the upper atmosphere... |

| #2 Given typical prevailing wind streams, Alaska, and the West Coast should see some interesting weather issues. |
