Krakatoa Eruption in Indonesia – Dawn of a Volcanic Winter?
Krakatoa Eruption in Indonesia – Dawn of a Volcanic Winter?
Krakatoa has once again erupted on April 11, 2020. The risk of a more serious eruption extends into August 7th, 2020. Indonesia has over 130 active volcanoes, the most of any nation. Of course, there remains the legendary eruption of Krakatoa which culminated in a series of massive explosions over 26–27 August 1883, which were among the most violent volcanic events in recorded history. The eruption was estimated Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6, which was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT or about 13,000 times the nuclear blast which destroyed Hiroshima, Japan.
The 1883 eruption, according to the official records of the Dutch East Indies colony, wiped out 165 villages and towns with an additional 132 which were seriously damaged. The eruption destroyed two-thirds of the island of Krakatoa. Since then, there was an eruption in the area during 1927 which built a new island at the same location, named Anak Krakatau (which is Indonesian for “Child of Krakatoa”). There have been small periodic eruptions ever since 1927, which included more recent eruptions in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. There was a major collapse in 2018 where the island fell from a height of over 400 m (1,300 ft) above sea level down to only 110 meters (361 ft). The December 22, 2018, eruption caused a deadly tsunami, with waves up to five meters in height making landfall. The last eruption thereafter was May 2019.
Krakatoa was known as “The Fire Mountain” during Java’s Sailendra dynasty. Surviving records have preserved accounts of seven eruptions beginning in 850AD, and followed by 950, 1050, 1150, 1320, and 1530. After that, there is an eyewitness account of an eruption in 1680.

Scientists Want to Synthetically Create a Volcanic Winter – Are they Just Nuts?
Believe it or not, pretend Scientists are actuall proposing to create a synthetic Volcanic Winter by spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere the same as a volcanoe when it erupts. These pretend research scientists at Harvard and Yale universities have published in the journal Environmental Research Letters proposing to inject an aerosol (SAI) to reduce the rate of global warming. They have propsed a completely unproven attempt to alter the planet using a technique involving spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. They argue to deliver the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns. To accomplish this they want $3.5 billion, with annual costs of $2.25 billion a year over.
This is exactly as the chemtrail conspiracy theory which is based on the belief that long-lasting condensation trails are “chemtrails” consisting of chemical or biological agents are left in the sky by high-flying aircraft that are sprayed for undisclosed reasons. It seems that the pretend scientists have taken the chemtrail theories to a new level. They say they are only dimming the sun. Guess they have no clue about weather history and volcanic winters, Guess shattering 150 year cold records for thanksgiving is still too warm for these people.
Climate Change is not just simply that there is a unusual cold storm or heat wave. Yet these people harp on each individual event as proof of their theory. Real climate change has to do with shifting patterns of weather and the progressive long-term trend. Their forecasts are based upon assuming whatever trend is in motion will remain in motion. That is a fatal flaw in analysis if we are talking about markets or weather. They really need to understand that there are cycles to start with.
