Me he decidido por abrir un hilo para ir posteando estos espectaculares "bichos" de la Tierra porque hoy ha habido una explosión del Monte Asama (cerca de Tokyo) y está a punto de caramelo el Mount Redoubt en Alaska.

Japan's Mount Asama has erupted, throwing hot rocks out of the crater and depositing a fine layer of ash on parts of Tokyo, some 90 miles to the southeast. (Más info en el enlace)

Parece que también está montando jaleo el volcán Karymsky en Kamchatka (Rusia).

Volcanoes Erupt in Japan and Russia, Spreading Ash

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Two volcanoes in Japan and another in eastern Russia erupted overnight, spreading ash as far as the Philippines and Vietnam, the Japan Meteorological Agency said on its Web site.

Seven minor eruptions occurred at Mount Sakurajima on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, throwing rocks up to 2 kilometers, the agency said. Eruptions at Mount Asama in central Japan and Karymsky Volcano on the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka were also reported. There were no reports of damage or injuries.

“I pogre up after midnight to the sound and shake of the eruption,” Daisuke Tanaka, 24, a convenience-store attendant, who lives about 20 kilometers away from Asama, said by telephone today. “The sound was as if an airplane was taking off nearby and it continued for 30 minutes.”

The eruptions occurred in a region where four tectonic plates, the Eurasian, Philippine, North American and Pacific, meet, causing seismic activity.

Japan has 108 active volcanoes representing about 10 percent of the world’s total. Forty-three people died in 1991 after Mount Unzen erupted on the southern island of Kyushu, while 15,000 people were evacuated after Mount Usu erupted on the northern island of Hokkaido in 2000.

The 2,568 meter Asama, which last had a minor eruption in August last year, is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan. A major eruption in 1783 killed more than 1,000 people.

The meteorological agency raised its alert levels for both Asama and Sakurajima, prohibiting people from entering the area around the volcano.

A ver que escupen, pero sí yo estaba pensando en cómo podría afectar esto al clima, llevamos un par de meses con una actividad sísmica muy alta y como empiecen a soltar unos cuantos volcanes a la vez sus "cositas" el clima puede verse afectado rápida y drásticamente, sobre todo "localmente".

Dios no lo permitirá!. No he podido resistirme.

Como el de Alaska le de por hacer lo mismo que hace poco, pues nada, nos enfría de nuevo la tierra un par de centésimas de grado, otro golpe bajo a los calentologos, habrá que pedirle a Alaska que el dichoso volcán no suelte tanto CO2 a la atmósfera pues fastidia las predicciones de los calentologos.
