Where is this volcano and is there a reason to believe it will erupt soonish?

 

It's near Naples Italy and had a massive eruption about 40k years ago. Probably VEI-7 so on the level of Tambora. 

 

From what I've read, even if Campi Flegrei (i on the end, not L by the way) does erupt soon, it will be a minor eruption similar to one the mountain produced in the 16th century.

This would be a very Big Bang. I can't recall the number of millions of people in the Naples Bay Area but it's so congested.

If they had a significant eruption, the entire Mediterranean and Middle East would be heavily affected.

 

I don't know how much the atmosphere would be impacted.

Has anyone seen any recent information on that ?

      I'm not the one who constantly uses that phrase as if you're the spokesperson of every person who works. Aka a fraud, just like that senate candidate.

      Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. I understand you can’t relate to that. To you and other democrats “working people” is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say “at least we’re trying” to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isn’t going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldn’t have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft — you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded. The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although it’s a bummer that they didn’t seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).

      Huh? What do lunch breaks have to do with anything? You think that’s an actual workers rights issue. Hahahaha.

      Volcano Reports

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/04/17/indonesia-volcano-eruption-ruang/ Paywall, but WP says ash got up to 70k feet. That would probably impact the climate a bit the next 1-3 years. Maybe counteract the warming from the other volcano.
