- deviouskoopa, on 04/06/2009, -1/+9A llama volcano? Awesome!
- DrRossi, on 04/06/2009, -0/+7Yeah, smartass, lol.
You probably are not aware that the people who build their houses there are very poor
farmers, who build their houses in such places because the volcanic soil is extremely fertile.
And they need the money desperately. - Wakkyweed, on 04/06/2009, -3/+10According to Fox News, it's Obama's fault.
- stutimandal, on 04/06/2009, -2/+8You forgot to put *EXPLODING NEWS:* in the title.
- kb29, on 04/06/2009, -0/+4WHO IS OFFSETTING THOSE CARBON-CREDITS!!!!?!!!/11
- jason210, on 04/06/2009, -0/+3volcanic plains have the richest soil in terms of nutrients anywhere!
- inactive, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2Why do we insist on building In Flood Plains or Under Volcanoes, sometimes ON them?
I would like to know how many animals high tailed it out of the area well in advance of the eruption. Waking up and NOT hearing birds or other wildlife would have me creeped out. - Trent1492, on 04/07/2009, -1/+3"Comparison of CO2 Emissions from Volcanoes vs. Human Activities:
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hazards/gas/index.php
Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1991). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 27 billion tonnes per year (30 billion tons) [ ( Marland, et al., 2006) - The reference gives the amount of released carbon (C), rather than CO2, through 2003.]. Human activities release more than 130 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of more than 8,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 3.3 million tonnes/year)! (Gerlach et. al., 2002)"
You, sir, are a ideological dupe. - kb29, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2I know, right. Why are other planets heating up, too?
- MrSteamTank, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2As much as I disagree with Al Gore, Santiago, Chile has some serious smog problems since it is located in a valley in the mountains. If their is a city in South America that should control its own pollution(due to self-detrimental effects) then it is Santiago. 8P
- brettg102, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2chile isnt a 3rd world country.

- derekmas10, on 04/06/2009, -2/+4Funny, because major eruptions have the effect of REDUCING global temperature. Take Pinatubo (please). The eruption in 1991 sent a cloud of ash that circled the globe in less than 24 hours, and overall reduced the world's temp by 1 degree Celsius.
So check yourself before you go spewing more ***** than a volcano. - mycoplasma, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Well, there really aren't that many choices when you're in a 3rd world country.
- Dsmooove6, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Como se Llaima??
- jason210, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1when did digg become the place for awful stand ups to test their ***** material?
- mycoplasma, on 04/06/2009, -1/+2FTA: "Five localities were put on red alert including Vilcun and Curacautin"
Shields up! Red alert! - inactive, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Seems quite a few of the Volcanoes around the pacific are erupting?
Earth having a stretch? - appleofdischord, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1I was spit on by a lama as a child. I guess this is sort of different though.
- protodon, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1so most recently Redoubt erupts,. there is an earthquake in Italy and now this?!? It's not even 2012 yet!
- Trent1492, on 04/07/2009, -1/+2You know what I dislike? People who parrot Exxon-Mobile propaganda. A simple search of the internet reveals that the United States Geological Service has to say about this subject:

See how easy it is to show that the septics are dupes and stooges of industry? - oninbonin, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1http://www.flickr.com/photos/37097898@N05/34177424 ...

Couplr of Redoubt shot by my uncle in AK - offrdbandit, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Oh God... the CO2... As if we needed MORE evidence man is causing global warming. THE ***** ROCKS ARE MELTING PEOPLE!
- kingboyj, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1I was there skiing 2 years ago and it was smoldering then. A beautiful place all thru that region.
- BossKey, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1have fun with the volcanically triggered earthquake tsunami
- BossKey, on 04/07/2009, -0/+1There was an earthquake in Italy...
- grey580, on 04/06/2009, -2/+3Volcanoes. The real Global Warming Scandal.
- nemodot, on 04/07/2009, -0/+1I'm on the atlantic coast, *****!
- Trent1492, on 04/07/2009, -0/+1If only you had a clue.
- oninbonin, on 04/06/2009, -0/+0"Klingon Battleclass destroyer off the Starboard bow..Captain, they are hailing us!" "Onscreen." "Greetings, do you have some gasmoney we could borrow?" "And some bitches.."
I know that was ***** retarted, I'm bored! - Alderon, on 04/06/2009, -1/+1Hot stuff!
Actually that sounds pretty cool other than the houses that may be fubar from the flow. - LopezElGuapo, on 04/06/2009, -0/+0I came for the Bobby Jindal comments, and I am leaving disappointed.
- duckmanneo, on 04/06/2009, -0/+0Being known that the volcano would erupt. People gathered underground in await for the event to happen. When it did erupt those people had a hell of a dance party. Here is a clip of that dance party.

Warning, if your a child under 99 and do not wish to see boobies. Do not click on that link. - Doomsan, on 04/06/2009, -2/+2My beloved country is burning inside!
- Trent1492, on 04/07/2009, -1/+1I know, right. Why are other planets heating up, too?"
Are you sure all the other planets are heat up? Tell me, is Jupiter approaching perigee or apogee right now? How about Neptune? Go ahead stun me with your knowledge of the Solar System. Once you have answered those questions; I want you to tell me what the Nimbus 7 and 10 satellites have been missing for the past 30 plus years. - jhails, on 04/06/2009, -4/+4"Chilean people had better get busy planting trees to offset their volcanic carbon footprint"
Al Gore - iJessicaRabbit, on 04/06/2009, -1/+1I've been to a bunch of volcanoes and never feel comfortable near them for this reason.
They're very unpredictable. - Trent1492, on 04/07/2009, -1/+1I know, right. Why are other planets heating up, too?"

- VdigginG, on 04/06/2009, -0/+0nature will coalesce what humanity cannot...
- Wiggle987, on 04/06/2009, -2/+1Dugg for thinking it was a llama volcano.
- duke_nate, on 04/06/2009, -5/+4According to MSNBC, its the Republicans fault.
See what I did there? Either way, they are both irrelevant. - chinaman1212, on 04/06/2009, -4/+3More man made global warming C02 from a volcano. Get Gore on the phone, STAT.
- argusbargus, on 04/06/2009, -5/+3The new carbon tax will sort that out.
- Heidenreich12, on 04/06/2009, -6/+4and I still love all the people that think we can stop global warming. A single volcano eruption puts out more crap into the air than any human can. And how many volcanoes have erupted lately?
- inactive, on 04/06/2009, -3/+1 I can't help but wonder if freeing up billions of gallons of water into the ocean, that has been trapped as ice for millions of years might displace tectonic plates, as tides and gravity case far greater stresses world wide. But whit do I know. Still, there has been a lot of earthquakes and volcanos in the past few years. In this age of scientific McCarthyism, who knows. I predict the west coast will be hit by an major earthquqke within the next few months. But again, what do I know.
- zantos420, on 04/06/2009, -7/+1They build their houses right next to an active volcano and then wonder why they have lava in the living room lol
You'd think they'd learn not to build their house next to an *active volcano*
Darwin has some awards for these people he is just itching to hand out
