Lava and hot ash spewed from a central Indonesian volcano Sunday in its biggest eruption yet, prompting villagers to retreat to emergency shelters.
There were no immediate reports of casualties, according to the Associated Press. One woman suffered a heart attack and died while fleeing when the volcano first began erupting late last week.
Mount Lokon had been dormant since 1991.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 8:09pmThe elitists are the the ones pushing for environmentalism which includes no procreation except for the chosen ones. They want to save the planet for themselves. After all, some scientists are now saying the average life expectancy may soon be 1,000. These elitists are insane. It is obvious they do not believe in God.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 9:42pmEven if they figure out how to extend life to a longer point, I remember reading somewhere that the human brain itself could only last around 200 years before brain cell neurons can no longer make connections to sustain itself. Unless they figure out a way for brain cells to continue to replenish, I wouldn’t believe folk will be able to live much longer then 150 years and I have to add why would anybody want too. :)

Now the oceans will rise a whole 0.1 inch higher than predicted by 2050. Everyone who has oceanfront property better get ready to sell it before the flood.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 5:45pmFor those of you that may be interested in the predictions of the movement of the earth’s crust go to Zetatalk.com. They give their reasons for the volcanos erupting, the dead birds & fish dying, floods, etc. They are implying it‘s not because of global warming but the causes of the earth’s crust making changes. Whether you choose to believe it or not it is interesting reading.

Report Post »…and yet our environment seem to handle it. Our Pacific ocean drift has a line of volcanoes that spew out similar toxic materials for years if not centuries and yet the planet flourishes. It only goes to show that these so called environmentalists and global warming high priests do not know what in the world they are talking. The Sciences that go in understanding our planet is too nascent for people to make absolute judgments that impair and the lives of millions.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 3:11pmWonder what the believers of global warming and the environmentalists (not the conservationists) have to say about this volcano? The amount of debris spewing out of that single Volcano is in the thousands if not tens of thousands of tons, containing chemicals such as sulfur, Carbon dioxide, dust, including an endless list of other chemicals that would pollute the atmosphere.
Report Post »Have we ever heard the environmentalists complain of such natural disasters that in minutes produce more toxic pollutants than man produces in a day.

The many volcanos that are currently errupting are dumping massive CO2 and Sulpher Dioxide into the atmosphere, Much more than anything humans have done. The story about the icelandic volcano comes to mind, you know, the one that shut down european airports for a month last year… The scientists stated that the volcano emitted more CO2 and Sulpher Dioxide in its first week of eruptions than all of the human industrial revolution’s entirety!!

This is what gets me about sending decades and decades of aid to saharan Africa, and other such deserts.
There is no food because there is no water.
There has been no water.
There will be no water.
